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.

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. ▲ Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause

hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.

▲ Because working on equipment safely requires your full

attention, avoid wearing entertainment headphones while perform the installation.

2013-07-30 Table of Contents Index 133-415M

2 3S-5000/F/HD/HDF SGS Table of Contents Index Great Plains Manufacturing, Inc.

Be Familiar with Safety Decals

▲ Read and understand “Safety Decals” in the Operator

manual.

▲ Read all instructions noted on the decals. ▲ Keep decals clean. Replace damaged, faded and illegible

decals.

Avoid High Pressure Fluids

Observe normal precautions for hitch hydraulic connections and disconnections. Escaping ﬂuid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.

▲ Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting

hydraulic lines.

▲ Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when

working with hydraulic systems.

▲ If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance

from a physician familiar with this type of injury.

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.

▲ Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or

adjusting electrical systems or before welding on drill.

▲ 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.

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 implement functions. ▲ Operate machinery from the driver’s seat only. ▲ Do not leave implement unattended with tractor engine

running.

▲ Wear snug-ﬁtting clothing to avoid entanglement with

moving parts.Introduction

Introduction

Description of Unit

These ﬁeld-installed kits add small seeds planting capability to the 3S-5000 family of 50-foot 3-section drills. There are separate kits for drills with and without fertilizer capability. There are separate kits for each row spacing.

Compatible Drills

Refer to Figure 1, which depicts the left drill section. Components on center and right sections are similar.

Before installing any of these kits, inspect a seed box on any drill section, and the serial number plate.

• If the seed box has a divider and second lid , it is a Fertilizer model, and must use a “ speciﬁcally for a 3S-5000F or 3S-5000HDF model. These kits rely on drive components present only on Fertilizer models.

• If the boxes lack dividers and second lids, the drill must use a standard (“non-fertilizer” “SMALL SEEDS” kit.

Installation Instructions

Before You Start

Most accidents are the result of negligence and carelessness, usually caused by failure of the operator to follow simple but necessary safety precautions. Allow no one to install the small seeds option before carefully reading this manual.

Some fasteners may be loosely assembled. Remove them before mounting that component. Due to evolving manufacturing practices, some sub-assemblies may already be completely pre-assembled. If so, check that fasteners are tight, and skip the unneeded assembly steps.

Tools Required

• a lift or hoist with a 150 pound (68 kg) capacity

• basic hand tools, including hose clamp pliers

• scaffold or ladder Torque values for fasteners are shown on page 32.

1. Read and understand “Important Safety Information” starting on page 1.

2. Ensure drill is compatible with kit. See page 3.

Prepare Drill

3. Clean-out the Fertilizer box, or Seed box if no Fertilizer box is present, per the instructions in the current drill Operator Manual.

4. Positionthe drill in a well lighted location suitable for the installation. A clear surface beneath makes it easier to recover any dropped parts.

5. Partially unfold the drill, to allow access to walkboard mount hardware.

Refer to Figure 3

6. Deploy all parking stands provided with the drill.

7. Lower the drill. Lower the openers.

Negative Tongue Weight:

Drill must be only partially unfolded, or hitched to a tractor, or fully lowered, with any parking stands installed, before commencing work. A fully unfolded raised drill can have a negative tongue weight of up to 1300 pounds.

Other Options

8. If also installing any main seed box options, install them before Small Seeds. If this is a new delivery, defer installation of press wheels and other row unit options until after installing Small seeds. If also installing markers, install them after Small Seeds.

9. Swing down the walkboard ladders (if installed).
