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.
Important Safety Information
!
1
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,” thor-
oughly.
▲ 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 dur-
ing operation.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Put tractor in park, turn off engine, and
remove the key.
▲ Secure implement using blocks and supports
provided.
OFF
▲ Detach and store implement in an area where
children 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 imple-
ment.
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.
167-088Q-RUS 3/3/2006
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 Front Fold
Boom Sprayer in case of breakdown on the
road.
Important Safety Information
3
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under “Specifications and
Capacities,” in the operator’s manual.
▲ Do not fold or unfold the implement while trac-
tor is moving.
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 immedi-
ately. 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.
▲ Fold the implement, 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 the implement to cool completely.
▲ Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before
servicing or adjusting electrical systems or
before welding on the implement.
▲ 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 the
implement before operation.
Prepare for Emergencies
▲ Be prepared if a fire starts.
▲ Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
OFF
▲ Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambu-
lance, hospital and fire department near
phone.
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.

167-088Q-RUS 3/3/2006
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 trac-
tor engine running.
▲ Do not dismount a moving tractor. Dismount-
ing a moving tractor could cause serious injury
or death.
▲ Do not stand between the tractor and imple-
ment during hitching.
▲ Keep hands, feet and clothing away from
power-driven parts.
Important Safety Information
5
▲ Wear snug-fitting clothing to avoid entangle-
ment with moving parts.
▲ Watch out for wires, trees, etc., when folding
and raising implement. Make sure all persons
are clear of working area.
▲ Do not turn tractor too tightly, causing imple-
ment to ride up on wheels. This could cause
personal injury or equipment damage.

Introduction
Great Plains welcomes you to its growing family
of new product owners. This Air Drill Cart and
this Air Drill Implement have 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 ADC2220 is a grain drill cart that uses air to
move seed or fertilizer from the cart bins to the
implement. Air is supplied by a fan driven by a
hydraulic motor. Pressurized meters under the
bins dispense material into the air stream at a
rate proportional to distance traveled. The meter
rate can be adjusted.
The NTA3510 is a seeding implement, with a
working width of 35 feet, designed to tow behind
a Great Plains air drill cart. This implement is designed for no-till field conditions. Coulters open a
narrow seedbed. Disk-type, parallel-linkage
openers follow each coulter, widening the seedbed and delivering seed to the trench.
Intended Usage
Use this cart with a Great Plains air drill implement. Use the cart for seeding small grains and
legumes or applying dry, granular fertilizer.
