3 Important Safety Information
Transport Machinery Safely
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Maximum transport speed for seeder is 20
mph. Do not exceed 20 mph. Never travel at a
speed that does not allow adequate control of
steering and stopping. Some rough terrains
require a slower speed.
▲ Check that your tractor has enough ballast to
handle the weight of seeder. Refer to your
tractor operator’s manual for ballast require-
ments.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Refer to trans-
port dimensions under “Specifications and
Capacities,” page 19.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
▲ Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate
the skin, causing serious injury.
▲ Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
▲ Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT
BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.
▲ Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or
goggles when working with hydraulic systems.
▲ If an accident occurs, see a doctor immedi-
ately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gan-
grene may result.
