Important Safety Information

Models ADI334 and ADI345 Air Drill Implement 160-195M 5/11/05

Great Plains Mfg., Inc.

Transport

Machinery Safely

▲ Comply with state and local laws.

▲ Maximum transport speed for

implement is 20 mph. DO NOT

EXCEED. Never travel at a speed

which does not allow adequate

control of steering and stopping.

Some rough terrains require a

slower speed.

▲ Do not transport implement

unless it is attached to an air drill

cart.

▲ Keep clear of overhead power

lines when folding, unfolding or

transporting.

▲ Transport with channel locks in

place.

▲ Sudden braking can cause a

towed load to swerve and upset.

Reduce speed if towed load is not

equipped with brakes.

▲ Use the following ratios as a max-

imum-speed guide.

20 mph when towed weight is

less than or equal to tractor

weight.

10 mph when towed weight is

double tractor weight.

IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load

that is more than double tractor

weight.

Use Safety

Lights and Devices

▲ Slow moving tractors, self-pro-

pelled equipment and towed

implements can create a hazard

when driven on public roads. They

are difﬁcult to see, especially at

night.

▲ Flashing warning lights and turn

signals are recommended when-

ever driving on public roads. Use

lights and devices provided with

implement.

Practice Safe Maintenance

▲ Understand procedure before

doing work. Use proper tools and

equipment. Refer to “Mainte-

nance and Lubrication,” page

25, for additional information.

▲ Work in a clean, dry area.

▲ Lower the implement to the

ground, put tractor in park, turn off

engine, and remove key before

performing maintenance.

▲ Install all transport locks as

explained under Lifting the Drill,

“Operating Instructions,” page 16,

before working underneath the

raised drill.

▲ Do not grease or oil implement

while it is in operation.

▲ Disk edges are sharp. Be careful

when working in this area.

▲ Disconnect battery ground cable

(-) before servicing or adjusting

electrical systems or before weld-

ing on implement.

▲ 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 implement before oper-

ation.

Use A Safety Chain

▲ Use a safety chain to help con-

trol drawn machinery should it

separate from the tractor draw-

bar.

▲ Use a chain with the strength

rating equal to or greater than

the total weight of the towed

machinery.

▲ Attach the chain to the tractor

drawbar support or other speci-

ﬁed anchor location. Allow only

enough slack in the chain to per-

mit turning.

▲ Do not use safety chain for tow-

ing.
