WARNING!
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 card-
board, 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 im-
mediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically re-
moved within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Great Plains hydraulic hoses are color coded to help you
hook up hoses to your tractor outlets. Hoses that go to the
same remote valve are marked with the same color.
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer to
plastic hose holders. See Figure 1-12. Hoses under ex-
tended-cylinder symbol feed cylinder base ends. Hoses
under retracted-cylinder symbol feed cylinder rod ends.

NOTE: To run drill on tractors with open-center hy-
draulics or on tractors with fixed-displacement hydrau-
lic pumps, you must install a Great Plains kit, part

tractor hydraulics, consult your tractor dealer.

1. Connect opener-lift hoses to circuit designated for hy-
draulic-motor control.
2. Connect transport-lift hoses to tractor remote valve.
3. Connect fold hoses to tractor remote valve.
IMPORTANT: If your tractor has only two remote valves,
you must install a double-selector valve to combine the
transport-lift and opener-lift circuits. Refer to 3S-3000
Two-Outlet Tractor Hydraulic Kit, “Options,” page 61.
Safety Lights
The light package that your drill is equipped with, requires
that your tractor have the correct electrical connections.
Your tractor should be wired for a standard 7-pin electrical
connector which works with the tractor's flashers and turn
signals. All that should be necessary to hook up the lights
is to plug them into the tractor's 7-pin connector.
If your tractor is not equipped with a 7-pin connector,
please contact your local dealer for installation to your
tractor manufacturers specifications.
Acre Meter
Assemble the acre meter to the end of the main drive shaft
on the center section as shown in Figure 1-13. Record the
acres before you begin planting and subtract that number
from the final reading to get acres planted.
