The Air Seeder has been designed with
safety in mind. However, the equipment is
only as safe as the person operating it.
Do not operate the Air Seeder until you
have read and understood this manual. If you
feel you need help or advice on the operation of
the Seeder, contact your local authorized Gason
Dealer.
To ensure trouble free and safe operation
of your seeder, it is important to carry out a daily
safety check to reduce the possibility of a costly
breakdown.
Items to Check Daily During Operation
1. Check all wheel nuts are tight during the
first couple of days of seeding or after
transportation.
2. Check all tyre pressures and tyre
conditions in general. NOTE: a badly
worn rear drive tyre will affect the
metering accuracy.
3. Ensure the safety guard on the blower unit
is fitted.
4. Check all hydraulic breakaway
connections are locked into position.
5. Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings for
leaks.
6. Check all chains and sprockets for wear or
movement on the shaft.
7. Check metershafts turn freely before
operating each day or after transporting
when loaded.
8. Check draw bar pins for wear.
9. Ensure bin lids are closed and that there
are no air leaks when blower is operating.
10. Check distribution hoses for damage or
kinks, especially after operating the wing
fold system on the implement.
General Safety Conditions
DO NOT ride on the machine when
operating.
DO NOT touch or attempt to adjust any
moving parts.
DO NOT adjust hydraulic fittings while under
pressure.
DO NOT remove any safety guards while the
seeder is operating.
DO
carry out the daily safety checks and operate
the seeder in a safety conscious manner.
Hydraulics
Before working on the hydraulic system
always check that the blower is not operating,
and that there is no pressure in the hydraulic
system.
Never attempt to disconnect a breakaway
coupling if the blower is operating. Turn the
tractor off if working on the metering system of
a VRT equipped seeder.
Leaving the Air Seeder Unattended
Always close the bin lids and ensure that
no material is left in the bins after seeding.
Chock the Air Seeder wheels to prevent it
from rolling.
When Working on the Air Seeder
Place suitable stands under the trailer if
removing a wheel or carrying out major work.
Never enter the bin compartment unless
another person is present. Always take proper
safeguards if entering a bin or working on
components that have been exposed to treated
seed.
