Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information
For your safety and to develop a better understanding of
your equipment, thoroughly read the Operator’s Sections
of this manual before operation.
Safety Notations
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates that there is a
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
safety precautions 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.
Watch for the following Safety Notations throughout
your Operator’s Manual:
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.
!
WARNING!
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
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
Safety Rules
These rules and instructions
must be reviewed at least annually
by all operators!
Most accidents are the result of negligence and carelessness, caused by failure of the operator to follow safety
precautions. Even though your implement is designed
with many built-in safety features, the following precautions are mandatory to prevent such accidents.
Make sure everyone that uses this machine has read the
Operator’s Manual and understands how to operate it
safely.
!
This Operator’s Manual is considered a part of the implement and should remain so when loaned or sold.
Prior To Operation
1. Do not stand between tractor and implement during hitching.
2. Do not stand between cart and implement during hitching.
3. Do not operate without safety chain properly attached to
tractor.
4. Make sure hydraulic lines are attached to the correct ports.
5. Handle and apply chemically treated seeds according to
manufacturer's recommendations.
CAUTION!
Some illustrations in this manual may show shields or cover
panels removed for clarity. Never operate unit without all
shields and cover panels in place.
During Operation
1. Do not allow anyone to operate this machine who has not
been properly trained in its safe operation.
2. Do not let children operate the implement.
3. Never dismount from a moving tractor
4. Put tractor in park turn off engine and remove key when
making any adjustments to the implement
5. Do not leave the tractor or the implement unattended with
the engine running.
6. Never allow passengers.
7. Travel slowly over rough terrain and be alert to holes and
gullies.
8. Loose fitting clothing should not be worn as it may catch in
moving parts.
9. If a hydraulic leak develops, correct it immediately. Escaping hydraulic oil can have extremely high pressure. A
stream of high pressure oil may easily penetrate the skin as
with modern needle-less vaccination equipment - but with
the exception that hydraulic fluid may cause blood poisoning. It is imperative that the connections are tight and that
all lines and pipes are in good condition. If an injury is
caused by the escaping hydraulic fluid, seea doctor at once!
Use a piece of cardboard or wood to detect leaks of hydraulic oil under pressure. Be sure to relieve all hydraulic pressure before disconnecting any lines or pipes between the
implement and the tractor hydraulic system.
10. Keep all guards and shields in place.
11. Do not turn tractor too tight; implement may ride up on
wheels causing machine and bodily damage.
DANGER!
Contact with overhead power lines can cause severe electrical
burns or death from electrocution. Make sure there is enough
clearance between all air drill components and overhead power
lines. Do not use loading auger near power lines. Do not climb
on walkboard near power lines.

Hydraulic Hose Clips
Figure 2-5
IMPORTANT: When the lift cylinder hoses are installed
carefully check them to be sure they are not rubbing on
any sharp edges. Check that the hoses are loose enough
to allow the implement to fold or unfold and raise or lower
without damage. Be sure that hoses will not bind or get
pinched during operation. If hoses are in a position where
they might get damaged change their route until they are
safe.
Bleeding the Hydraulic Lifting System
The implement lifting system is equipped with rephasing
type hydraulic cylinders thatrequire a special procedure for
bleeding air from the hydraulic circuits. Read and follow the
procedure carefully. The rephasing type cylinders will not
function properly with air in the hydraulic circuit. This will
cause uneven seeding depth across the implement.
NOTE: Check the hydraulic fluid in the tractor reservoir and fill to the proper level. Add fluid to the system
as needed. A low reservoir level may draw air back
into the system, causing jerky or uneven cylinder
movement.
1. Jack up and support the front member of each implement frame section at a point close to each gauge
wheel.
2. With the frame blocked and supported, unpin the rod
end of the gauge wheel cylinders. Pivot the cylinders
up and wire; or otherwise safely support the rod end
14447
Center Hydraulic Cylinders
Figure 2-6
3. With the tractor engine at an idle speed, hold the remote lever on to put fluid into the lifting circuit. When
the outboard cylinders on both sides of the implement
have completely extended, hold the remote lever on
for one minute.
4. Retract the cylinder rods. Extend the rods again and
hold the remote lever on for one more minute. Repeat
this step two more times to completely bleed the system. If the gauge wheel leveling adjustments are to be
made, leave the cylinders unpinned and the implement frame supported.
5. Recheck the tractor reservoir and fill to the proper level.
Fold Cylinders
DANGER!
The folding cylinders must be bled free of air before attempting
to fold implement, otherwise severe damage and bodily injury
may result. Refer to Figure 2-7:
34’ and 45’ Drills
Position main foldcylinders with base end toward center of
the drill, rod end toward wings. Pin the base end to the fold
cylinder lug. Secure the pin with the provided clip, refer to
Figure 2-7. Leave rod end unhooked and block up in the
air so that the rod will not come in contact with anything
when extended. Do not connect rod end until after air is
bled from fold circuit.

Great Plains Mfg., Inc.
Section 2 Implement Assembly and Setup
45’ Drills
Position the outer fold cylinders with the base end toward
the center of dill and rod ends out. Pin the base end to the
cylinder lug and secure with clip. Leave rod end unhooked
and block up so that the rod will not come in contact with
anything when extended. Do not connect the rod end until
after air is bled from the fold circuit.
Refer to Figure 2-8 and Figure 2-9. Install hydraulic hoses.
Note the hose lengths and be sure to use the correct length
hose in each location. Start with the longest hose and work
to the shortest.
Be sure to use the hydraulic hose clips on the openers and
route the hoses through them. When the hoses are
hooked up be sure that they are not twisted and will not get
pinched when the implement is raised, lowered, folded or
unfolded. Do not let the hoses rub on sharp edges and be
sure there is enough slack for down-flex.
NOTE: The SAE o-ring and JIC 37˚ flare type hose
connections do not require sealant for reconnecting.
They do not require high torque for a good seal.
NOTE: Do not try to fold the implement unless the flex
limiter bars are installed.
