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.
Use Adequate Lifting Means
The frame sections and gangs of this machine are
extremely heavy. If using multiple lifters, make sure each
is rated for at least its share of the load.

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.

2Series II Disk HarrowGreat Plains Manufacturing, Inc.
Be Familiar with Safety Decals
▲ Read and understand the “Safety Decals” section of the
Operators Manual.
▲ Read all instructions noted on the decals.
▲ Keep decals clean. Replace damaged, faded and illegible
decals.
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 hear-
ing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.
▲ Because operating equipment safely requires your full
attention, avoid wearing entertainment headphones while
operating machinery.
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, seek immediate medical assistance
from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
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 driv-
ing on public roads.
Use lights and devices provided with implement
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.

Great Plains Manufacturing, Inc.Important Safety Information3
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Lower implement, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and
remove the key.
▲ Secure Disk Harrow using blocks and supports provided.
▲ Detach and store Disk Harrow in an area where children
normally do not play.
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 for 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 machine functions.
▲ Operate machinery from the driver’s seat only.
▲ Do not leave machine unattended with tractor engine run-
ning.
▲ Do not stand between the tractor and machine during
hitching.
▲ Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power-driven
parts.
▲ Wear snug-fitting clothing to avoid entanglement with mov-
ing parts.
▲ Watch out for wires, trees, etc., when folding and raising
machine. Make sure all persons are clear of working area.

Note: Models 7323-7329 hydraulic hoses should already
be routed and installed thru the hose clamps before
delivery.
Refer to Figure 10
29. Route the tractor end of the hydraulic hoses thru
the spring hose loop and store in the hose storage
bracket located on the side of the hitch. Approximately 3’ of hose should extend past the hitch point.
Attach hose wraps on hoses to prevent hoses from
dragging or getting pinched. Connect the female
ends of the hydraulic hoses to the bulkhead fittings

34. Install hose wraps on hoses as needed.
Note: Be sure and get hoses and light wiring harness fas-
tened properly so they do not drag. Check to be
sure there is enough slack in hinge area when folding machine the first time.
Hydraulic Hose Hookup
35. Great Plains hydraulic hoses are color coded to help you
hookup hoses to your tractor outlets. Hoses that go to
the same remote valve are marked with the same color.

36. To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer
to hose handles. The hose under an extended-cylinder
symbol feeds a cylinder base end. The hose under a
retracted-cylinder symbol feeds a cylinder rod end.

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use
paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems. Escaping fluid under press
can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin causing s
ous injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical
assistance from a physician familiar with this type of injury
Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics.

Purging Hydraulic System
Refer to Figure 14
38. Charge the lift system first, this includes the hydraulics for the gauge wheel if equiped. Extend the lift
cylinders(black handles) until the center section is
fully raised. Place a block under the gauge wheel
cylinder to allow it to move freely. Hold lever back so
the lift cylinders will be filled with oil. Remove the cylinder transport locks and store on frame plate.
Raise and lower the gang system several times to
purge air from system. Watch for leaks and retighten
fittings if necessary.
39. You may now charge the fold system. Before charging the fold cylinders, make sure the rod end of the
cylinders are un-bolted or un-pinned and a blockis
under the cylinders as shown, so that when the rod
is extended, it will clear the wing fold brackets.
Extend the fold cylinders (green handles) com-
1

pletely and then close them. Extend and retract the
cylinders several times to purge air from the system.
Now the cylinders may be extended far enough to be
connected to the wing fold brackets.
40. The fold cylinders may now be connected to the wing
fold brackets. Use the 1” x 5.38” snap ring pin, 1”
washers, and 1” heavy snap rings provided.
41. Charge the hydraulic leveling cylinder at this time
(red handles). Extend and retract this cylinder several times also.
42. The unit may now be folded. Once unit is raised
completely, slowly fold the machine, watching that
hoses do not get pinched, etc.... Once machine is
fully folded, install the transport locks. Now the unit is
in transport mode.

Position the amber light brackets between the
gang bar mounting plate and the c-shank mounting
plate. The placement may need small adjustments to
avoid the tires during field operation and the wings
while folding and unfolding.

lights, thread the wires through the light bracket tubing before connecting to the lights. For the red lights
run wires long sides of the wing stops and secure
with zip ties.
