WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
These warnings and cautions must be observed when operating the Hybrid Seed Drill.
• Ensure total weight of tractor/ drill combination does not exceed permitted limits and that the
weight of the tractor is sufficient for safe field and road use.
• Do not allow anyone to stand between the tractor and drill during coupling or uncoupling
procedures.
• For maintenance or adjustment of the drill ensure that it is lowered to the ground.
• Seed dressing is highly poisonous so protective measures-gloves, goggles, facemask must be used
while loading the hopper and cleaning the machine after use with compressed air.
• The hydraulic system on the machine operates under high pressure and pressurised hydraulic oil
is dangerous. Connecting/disconnecting the drill must only be undertaken with the tractor engine
turned off and the pressure in the hoses released.
• Before operating the machine ensure no-one is standing within range of its turning circle, including
the marker arms.
• The Tungsten points on the leading tines should be protected by parking the drill on wooden boards.
• Never lower the drill directly onto concrete
