Safety
Servicing
• Always raise the implement, shut off the tractor
engine and install cylinder lockup channels before
working around the machine.
• After repairing or adjusting the planter, remove all of
the tools and parts from the machine before
operating the planter.
• Tire changing can be very hazardous and must be
done by trained personnel using the proper tools and
equipment.
• Do not inflate the tire that was seriously under-inflated
or run flat. Have it checked by qualified personnel.
• Lower the planter to the ground before attempting to
remove a wheel for tire repair.
FIG. 5: Fluid Leak Detection
Correct the hydraulic leaks immediately. All the fittings
must be tight and all the lines and hoses in good
condition. Escaping hydraulic fluid, under extremely high
pressure, can penetrate the skin and cause blood
poisoning. Use a piece of wood or cardboard to detect
fluid leaks. If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor
immediately.
