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.

POUNDS

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.

2 8315-8324DVN Great 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.
550-466Q 11/25/2013
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 Discovator using blocks and supports provided.
Detach and store Discovator in an area where children nor-
mally 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.

Hydraulic Connectors and Torque

Refer to Figure 11 (a hypothetical fitting)
Leave any protective caps in place until immediately prior to making a connection.
1
NPT - National Pipe Thread Note tapered threads, no cone/flare, and no O-ring.
Apply liquid pipe sealant for hydraulic applications. Do not use tape sealant, which can clog a filter and/or plug an orifice.
2
JIC - Joint Industry Conference (SAE J514) Note straight threads and the 37° cone on “M” fittings (or 37° flare on “F” fittings).
Use no sealants (tape or liquid) on JIC fittings.
3
ORB - O-Ring Boss (SAE J514) Note straight threads and elastomer O-Ring .
Prior to installation, to prevent abrasion during tight­ening, lubricate O-Ring with clean hydraulic fluid. Use no sealants (tape or liquid) on ORB fittings.
ORB fittings that need orientation, such as the ell depicted, also have a washer and jam nut (“adjustable thread port stud”). Back jam nut away from washer. Thread fitting into receptacle until O-Ring contacts seat. Unscrew fitting to desired orientation. Tighten jam nut to torque specification.
