Check for Overhead Lines
Seed auger or drill markers contacting overhead
electrical lines can introduce lethal voltage levels on drill,
drill and tractor frames. A person touching almost any
metal part can complete the circuit to ground, resulting in
serious injury or death. At higher voltages, electrocution
can occur without direct contact.
▲ Avoid overhead lines during seed loading/unloading and
marker operations.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲ Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools
and equipment. Refer to this manual for additional
information.
▲ Work in a clean, dry area.
▲ Put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before
performing maintenance.
▲ Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system
pressure is relieved.
▲ Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or
adjusting electrical systems or before welding on drill.
▲ Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition and
installed properly.
▲ Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
▲ Remove all tools and unused parts from drill before
operation.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.
▲ When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose
long enough for you to stand to one side–not in front of or
over tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
▲ When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-handling
equipment adequate for weight involved.
