Important Safety Information 1
Important Safety Information
Look for Safety Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is
a potential hazard to personal safety involved and ! extra safety precaution must be taken. When you
see this symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that follows it. In addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Be Aware of Signal Words
Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard seriousness.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations, typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

Be Familiar with Safety Decals
▲ Read and understand “Safety Decals,” page 7, thoroughly.
▲ Read all instructions noted on the decals.
Keep Riders Off Machinery
Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.
▲ Never allow children to operate equipment.
▲ Keep all bystanders away from machine during operation.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Lower drill, put tractor in park, turn off engine, |
OFF |
and remove the key. |
|
▲ Secure drill using blocks and supports pro- |
|
vided. |
|
▲ Detach and store drill in an area where chil- |
|
dren normally do not play. |
|
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see, especially at night.
▲ Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever driving on public roads.
▲ Use lights and devices provided with implement.

Important Safety Information 3
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph. Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sudden braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.
▲Do not exceed 20 mph. Never travel at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Reduce speed if
towed load is not equipped with brakes.
▲Comply with state and local laws.
▲Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of towing vehicle.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark drill in case of breakdown on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions when transporting.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
▲Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines.
▲Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT
BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.
▲ Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems.
▲If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.

Practice Safe Maintenance
▲Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools and equipment. Refer to this manual for additional information.
▲Work in a clean, dry area.
▲Lower the drill, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before performing maintenance.
▲Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system pressure is relieved.
▲Allow drill to cool completely.
▲Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or adjusting electrical systems or before welding on sprayer.
▲Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition and installed properly.
▲Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
▲Remove all tools and unused parts from drill before operation.
Prepare for Emergencies
▲Be prepared if a fire starts.
▲Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
▲Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital and fire department near phone.
Wear Protective Equipment
▲Wear protective clothing and equipment.
▲Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job. Avoid loose-fitting clothing.
▲Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.
▲Because operating equipment safely requires your full attention, avoid wearing radio headphones while operating machinery.

Important Safety Information 5
Handle Chemicals Properly
Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil and property.
▲ Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
▲ Wear protective clothing.
▲Handle all chemicals with care.
▲Avoid inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire.
▲Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by chemical manufacturer.
Use A Safety Chain
▲Use a safety chain to help control drawn machinery should it separate from tractor drawbar.
▲Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of towed machinery.
▲ Attach chain to tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in chain to permit turning.
▲Replace chain if any links or end fittings are broken, stretched or damaged.
▲Do not use safety chain for towing.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed by trained personnel using correct tools and equipment.
▲ When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to you to stand to one side–not in front of or over tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
▲When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-handling equipment adequate for weight involved.

Safety at All Times
Thoroughly read and understand the instructions in this manual before operation. Read all instructions noted on the safety decals.
▲Be familiar with all drill functions.
▲Operate machinery from the driver’s seat only.
▲Do not leave drill unattended with tractor engine running.
▲Do not dismount a moving tractor. Dismounting a moving tractor could cause serious injury or death.
▲Do not stand between the tractor and drill during hitching.
▲Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power-driven parts.
▲Wear snug-fitting clothing to avoid entanglement with moving parts.
▲Watch out for wires, trees, etc., raising drill. Make sure all persons are clear of working area.

Introduction
Great Plains welcomes you to its growing family of new product owners. This drill has been designed with care and built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper setup, maintenance and safe operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.
Description of Unit
The 706/1006NT Drill is a grain drill of end wheel design which couples Great Plains spring mounted coulter with a straight arm design of our solid stand opener to achieve no-till drilling capabilities. The end wheel design keeps the ground-working components in line with the end wheels for accurate coulter depth and seed placement over uneven terrain and allows the unit to follow field curves without side-loading the openers.
Intended Usage
This machine is intended to be used primarily for No-Till drilling. It can easily be adapted for conventional drilling applications.
