
Before Getting Started
Read Machine Information
 Read this manual in its entirety before attempting to
start and operate the machine. Do not let anyone
operate machine without proper instruction.
 Non-Great Plains components on this machine may
contain additional safety information not found in this
manual. Consult the manufacturer’s safety information
and product decals to safely use products from third-
parties.
Wear Appropriate Clothing and Equipment

Never wear loose clothing around machine. Always
wear appropriate clothing and equipment such as
hard hats, gloves, face masks, eye protection, and
work or steel-toed boots, as needed.

Prolonged exposure to machine noise during
operation can cause hearing impairment or loss. Use
proper hearing protection like earmuffs or earplugs
while working.
Inspect Machine Before Use
 Inspect brakes, link pins, and other mechanical parts
for wear and dirt buildup, and check that all guards
and shields are undamaged, installed, and secured
before operating machine.
 Check that hydraulic fittings are tight and all hydraulic
hoses and lines are in good working condition before
applying pressure to the system.
 Do not modify the machine. Unauthorized modification
can result in unsafe conditions that lead to machine
damage or personal injury.

Machine Use
Operate Responsibly

Maintain attention on operation at all times to avoid
injury to yourself or others.

Do not operate machine while distracted by a smart
phone, tablet, or similar electronic device, or while
impaired by alcohol, medication, any controlled
substance, or while fatigued.

Do not ever allow passengers to ride on any part of
the machine at any time, for any reason.

Operate within recommended field speeds between 5 and
8 mph (8 and 13 kph). Refer to Material Rate manual for
recommendations based on material type and size.
Handle Hydraulics with Care
 Keep clear of machine while hydraulics are in use.
Any failure in the hydraulic system can cause machine
parts to move or fall rapidly with a great deal of force.
Anyone struck, caught between, or crushed beneath
these parts can suffer serious injury or even death.
 A raised planter without cylinder locks installed or
without active hydraulic pressure will slowly lower over
time. Use tractor hydraulics to raise planter only for
brief periods, such as field turns and cylinder lock
installation.
 Relieve hydraulic pressure and wait for all parts to
come to a complete stop before disconnecting any
hydraulic lines.
 All hydraulic system repairs are to be completed by a
trained professional who is knowledgeable about how
to safely complete hydraulic system work.
 Do not have skin exposed when searching for leaks in
hydraulic lines. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to
locate leaks. If injured by escaping hydraulic fluid,
seek immediate medical attention.

Wear protective gloves and eye protection when
working on the machine’s hydraulic system.
Avoid Potential Collision Damage

Watch your surroundings at all times. Do not operate
with nearby bystanders or while anyone makes
adjustments or fills the machine.

Avoid contacting overhead obstructions such as low
bridges, overpasses, and power lines.
