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.

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.
560-483Q-ENG 02/10/2014
Great Plains Manufacturing, Inc. Important Safety Information 3
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Lower implement, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and
remove the key.
▲ Secure Field Cultivator using blocks and supports provided.
▲ Detach and store Field Cultivator 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.

Install JIC Fittings
Refer to Figure 26
126.Install JIC female hose to male fitting.
127.When the JIC hoses are routed, follow the following procedure for hooking up and tightening.
a.Inspect for possible contamination or damage from
shipping or handling. Sealing surface should be
smooth. Annular tool marks of (100uin) concentric
with thread permissible.
b.Lubricate the threads and the entire surface of the
cone with hydraulic fluid or a light lubricant.
c.Align mating componets for hand connection and turn
flare nut until sealing surfaces make full contact.
d.Torque nut to the values shown in “Torque Value Chart”
page 23. If a wrench pad is provided next to nut, place
a second wrench on pad to prevent flare from rotating
while being torqued.
e.When torquing nut onto a straight flared fitting, it may
be necessary to also place a wrench on the flared fitting wrench pad to prevent it from turning during
assembly.
128.Alternate Assembly Method for JIC.
a.If torqued method not possible, follow steps a-c (step
166), then proceed to the steps below.
b.Lightly wrench tighten the nut until there is firm resis-
tance.
c. Place a wrench on wrench pad next to nut as near the
6 0’clock position as possible.
d.Place second wrench on nut as near the 3 o’clock posi-
tion as possible.
e.Turn nut clockwise to no less than the 4 o’clock posi-
tion and no more than the 6 o’clock position. Required
rotation generally decreases as size increases.

Attach Hose Clamps and Hose wraps
Refer to Figure 27
129.When all the hoses are hooked up and tightened properly, put hose clamps on hoses as shown.
130.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
131.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.
Color Hydraulic Function
Black Lift (2 hoses)
Green Fold (2 hoses)
Hose Handles
Refer to Figure 28
132.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.
133.Once all hoses are tightened, hook hoses to tractor

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 29
134.Charge the lift system first. Extend the lift cylinders
(black handles) until the center section is fully
1
raise. Remove the cylinder transport locks . The
wings will not start to raise until the center cylinders
are fully extended and the master cylinders begin to
bypass oil through the rephasing ports, to the wing
cylinders. Watch for leaks and retighten fittings if
necessary. Continue to pump oil to the lift system
until the wing cylinders are also fully extended. At
this point, reverse the flow and lower the unit to the
ground, retracting all cylinders. Raise and lower the
unit several times to purge air from the system.
135.You may now charge the fold system. Before charg-
ing the fold cylinders , make sure the rod end of the
cylinders are un pinned and block is under cylinders
as shown on rear cylinders, so that when the rod is
extended, it will clear the wing fold brackets. Extend
the fold cylinders (green ends) completely 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.
136.Remove wood blocks and install 1 x 7 Gr. 8 special
thread bolts , 1 flat washers and 1 top lock nut to
rod end of inside wing cylinders and slot in fold
bracket.
Note: Tighten1x7Gr.8special thread bolt down to
where there is 1/16” to 1/8” gap. Be sure bolt will
still turn freely.
137. Remove wood blocks and install 1 x 7 hinge pins ,
1 flat washers, 1 3/4 rollers and 3/8 x 2 roll pins to
base end of outer wing cylinders and rocker.
