Models ADI334 and ADI345 Air Drill Implement 160-195M

Great Plains Mfg., Inc.

Hitching the implement to any vehicle other than a Great Plains

air drill cart will create an unstable towing load and can lead

to road accidents, injury and death. To avoid the hazard, do not

transport the implement unless hitched to an air drill cart.

Before transporting the implement, check and practice the

following items.

Minimum Towing Vehicle Weight

ADI345 hitched to ADC2220: 23,800 pounds

ADI334 hitched to ADC2220: 21,150 pounds

ADI345 hitched to ADC1150: 19,900 pounds

ADI334 hitched to ADC1150: 17,250 pounds

Rocker Switch Off. Check that the in-cab rocker switch is

turned off while transporting.

Stopping Distance. Keep the combined weight of the im-

plement and cart in mind. Allow sufﬁcient stopping dis-

tance at all times. Reduce speed prior to making any turns

or other maneuvers.

Clearance. Know the maximum dimensions of the drill in

transport position. Follow a route that provides adequate

clearance from all obstructions, including overhead lines.

Refer to “Speciﬁcations and Capacities,” page 30.

Channel Locks. Be sure channel locks are pinned se-

curely over dual gauge-wheel cylinders.

Tire Pressure. Be certain that all tires are properly inﬂat-

ed as listed in the Tire Inﬂation Chart, "Appendix,” page

31.

Road Rules. Comply with all federal, state and local laws

when transporting on public roads.

Bystanders. Check that no one is in the way before mov-

ing. Do not allow anyone to ride on the air drill.

Warning Lights. To use the implement warning lights,

your tractor must be equipped with a seven-pin electrical

connector. Always use implement warning lights when

transporting the air drill.

Watch Trafﬁc. Remember that the air-drill cart and folded

implement wings can obstruct your view. Be prepared for

sudden maneuvers from following vehicles.

Parking

Storage,“Maintenance and Lubrication,” page 25 for in-

formation on long-term storage.

drawbar.

7. Unhook electrical lines and install plugs as provided.

8. Release pressure on hydraulic system, then discon-

nect hydraulic lines and pull all lines back onto the drill

tongue. Be sure the ends do not rest on the ground.

folded implement or cart damage may occur due to

settling.
