upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper 

training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and 

maintenance of the seeder. Therefore, it is absolutely 

essential that no one operates the NTS Seeder unless 

they are age 16 or older and have read, fully understood, 

and are totally familiar with the Operator’s Manual. Make 

sure the operator has paid particular attention to:

General Safety

The following are general operating safety alerts. Read 

and understand them before hooking-up to the seeder. 

DANGER

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

All guards and shields must be installed and in good 

working condition. Loose clothing caught on rotating 

components can pull a person into the machinery. Hands 

and other body extremities can become entangled in the 

machinery.

Do not allow anyone near the tractor or implement while 

operating. Stop operation if bystanders are too close. They 

can be hit by flying projectiles, become entangled in the 

equipment, or ran over.

Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports 

before working under it. Never go under equipment 

supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can 

break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls 

can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Allow only persons to operate this implement who have 

fully read and comprehended this manual, who have been 

properly trained in the safe operation of this implement, and 

who are age 16 or older. Serious injury or death can result 

from the inability to read, understand, and follow 

instructions provided in this manual.

Operate only power machines equipped with a certified 

Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Keep 

folding ROPS in the “locked up” position when 

appropriate. If ROPS is in the locked up position, fasten seat 

belt snugly and securely to help protect against serious 

injury or death from falling and machine overturn.

Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in 

this manual before dismounting the tractor.

Always be aware of your footing and surroundings when 

working on or around the seeder. Be especially careful while 

standing on the walkway. Something as simple as a misstep 

can cause a person to fall and become seriously injured. 

Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose 

hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks, 

and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting the 

implement back into service.

Never carry riders on the implement or tractor. Riders can 

obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with controls, be 

pinched by moving components, become entangled in 

rotating components, struck by objects, thrown about, fall 

off and be run over, etc.

Do not operate and/or travel across inclines where tractor 

and/or implement can rollover. Consult your tractor’s 

manual for acceptable inclines the tractor is capable of 

traveling across.
