Intended Use Statement
The Spartan
II
607 Air Drill with standard equipment
and/or authorized attachments and options is
intended to be used as a seeding/fertilizing
implement when operated according to instructions
and safety precautions in this manual, machine
decals, or other information provided with the
machine.
The cart has single or dual hoppers for separate or
simultaneous delivery of seed and/or granulated dry
fertilizer. Each hopper has an independent metering
system that is controlled by the monitor.
The hydraulic fan supplies the material delivery
system. Hydraulically-driven fluted shafts below the
hoppers meter the seed or fertilizer (the materials)
into the air flow. Meter chambers and tower manifolds
evenly divide the material flow, and deliver equal
volumes to each opener row.
The drill openers are suitable for conventional till and
minimum-till conditions. With optional coulters, the
drill is suitable for moderate no-till conditions.
Service brakes are operated by air or hydraulic lines
to the tractor.
Use this drill to seed and fertilize production-
agriculture crops only. Do not modify the drill except
as instructed by Great Plains. Do not use
attachments other than as provided by or authorized
by Great Plains. The manufacturer and dealers are
not liable for damage caused by improper use. The
risk is borne solely by the user.
Right-hand and left-hand side are determined by
facing the direction of forward travel.
