OPERATION
General Information
FIG. 4: When parking, park the machine and the tractor
on a solid level surface. Put all controls in neutral, put the
tractor transmission in PARK, and apply the tractor
parking brake. Stop the tractor engine and take the key
with you.
Make sure the tractor and implement are in the proper
operating condition according to the operators manuals.
Make sure the tractor brakes and the machine brakes, if
equipped, are adjusted correctly.
The tractor must have enough weight and braking
capacity, especially when operating on roads and terrain
that is not even. Use a tractor of recommended size and
weight to tow the machine. See Specifications for the
minimum tractor size and weight.
Tractor must be equipped with rollover protective structure
(ROPS), and a seat belt. Use seat belt during operation.
Do not dismount from moving machinery.
Always operate the machine with the control console
turned on.
Never start the tractor with PTO engaged or control
console turned on.
Where possible avoid operating the planter near ditches,
embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning,
crossing slopes, and on rough, slippery, or muddy
surfaces.
Stay off slopes too steep for operation.
Be aware of the size of the equipment and have enough
space available to allow for operation.
Watch for overhead wires or other obstructions when
raising markers, and when moving the planter with the
marker(s) raised.
Always lower the planter when not in use and relieve the
pressure in hoses and cylinders.
Do not stand between the tractor and the implement to
install the hitch pin when the tractor engine is running.
FIG. 5: Avoid contact with electrical power lines. Contact
with electrical power lines can cause electrical shock,
resulting in very serious injury or death.
