Operating Instructions
This section covers general operating procedures.
Experience, machine familiarity, and the following
information will lead to efficient operation and good
working habits. Always operate farm machinery with
safety in mind.
Pre-Start Checklist
Perform the following steps before transporting the
NTA907 or NTA3007 drill to the field.
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 an
accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance from a
physician familiar with this type of injury.
❑ Review “Important Safety Information” on page 5.
❑ Lubricate as indicated at “Lubrication and
Scheduled Maintenance” on page 148.
❑ Check all tires for proper inflation. See “Tire
Inflation Chart” on page 166.
❑ Check all bolts, pins, and fasteners. Torque as
shown in “Torque Values Chart” on page 167.
❑ Check drill for worn or damaged parts. Repair or
replace parts before going to the field.
❑ Check hydraulic hoses, fittings, and cylinders for
leaks. Repair or replace before going to the field.
CFM Overview
The Control Function Module (CFM) is located below the
DICKEY-john
®
console terminal. The CFM controls a
bank of solenoid valves on the drill, in the
Fold/Tilt/Marker circuit.
On/Up opens the solenoid valve for the function.
Off/Down closes the solenoid valve for the function.
When MASTER is On, turn On only one function switch at a
time. To avoid unexpected movement of unintended drill
hydraulic components, no more than one of the Fold, Tilt or
Marker switches should ever be On at the same time.
Note: The CFM “MASTER” switch is the master for the
CFM only. It does not affect power to the monitor
terminal or other drill functions.
