Operating Instructions
This section covers general operating procedures. It
assumes that setup items have been completed.
Experience, machine familiarity and this information
leads to efficient operation and good working habits.
Always operate farm machinery with safety in mind.
Pre-Start Checklist
Moving Chain Hazard
Pinch/Crush Hazard
Shaft Entanglement Hazard:
Be careful when working around drill while tractor is running.
Any movement detected by the radar gun (Figure 17) can
activate the Veris hydraulic drive causing motion of chains,
sprockets, shafts and seed meters.
Vision Hazard:
The DICKEY-john RVS II radar speed sensor is an intentional
radiator of RF energy. Although its radiated energy level is far
below the limits set by EN 61010-1: 1993\A2: 1995 - Chapter
12.4, it is advisable not to look directly into the face of the unit.
The radar must radiate toward the ground and at least 20 cm
(8 inches) away from a human during use to comply with the
RF human exposure limits per FCC 47 CFR Sec. 2.1091.
DO NOT mount or use the radar in a manner inconsistent with
its defined use.

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Escaping fluid under pressure

relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs,
seek immediate medical attention from a physician familiar
