Operating Instructions
This section covers general operating procedures. Expe-
rience, machine familiarity and the following information
will lead to efficient operation and good working habits.
Always operate farm machinery with safety in mind.
Pre-Operation Checklist
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before
applying pressure. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can
be almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, not body parts,
and wear heavy gloves to check for suspected leaks. If injured,
seek immediate medical assistance from a physician familiar
with this type of injury.
1. Carefully read “Important Safety Information” on
page 1.
2. Lubricate drill as indicated under “Lubrication” on
page 54.
3. Check all tires for proper inflation. See “Tire Infla-
tion Chart” on page 61.
4. Check all bolts, pins and fasteners. Torque as shown
in “Torque Values Chart” on page 62.
5. Check drill for worn or damaged parts. Repair or
replace parts before going to the field.
6. Check hydraulic hoses, fittings and cylinders for
leaks. Repair or replace before going to the field.

inverted in stand mounts. See page 21 for illustra-
tion.

seed cups are working properly and free from foreign
