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-Start 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 an acci-

dent occurs, seek immediate medical attention from a physi-

cian familiar with this type of injury.

1. Carefully read “Important Safety Information” on

page 1.

2. Lubricate planter as indicated under “Lubrication”

on page 64.

3. Check all tires for proper inﬂation. See “Tire Inﬂa-

tion” on page 74.

4. Check all bolts, pins and fasteners. Torque as shown

in “Torque Values Chart” on page 75.

5. Check planter 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.

7. Be sure hydraulic hoses are securely held out of the

ball swivel area at hitch. Failure to do so could cause

hoses to pinch requiring hose replacement.
