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.

Preparation and Setup
This section helps you prepare your tractor and SS1300 &
SS1700 Sub-Soiler for use, and covers tasks that need to
be done seasonally, or when the tractor/Sub-Soiler configuration changes.
Before using the Sub-Soiler in the field, you must hitch it to
a suitable tractor, inspect systems and level the SubSoiler. Before using the Sub-Soiler for the first time, and
periodically thereafter, certain adjustments and calibrations are required.
Prior to Going to the Field Checklist
Complete this checklist before routine setup:
❑ Read and understand “Important Safety Informa-
tion” on page 1.
❑ Check that all working parts are moving freely, bolts
are tight, and cotter pins are spread.
❑ Make sure your tractor horsepower matches the
implement you are pulling. This is important so the
implement can do the best possible job.
❑ Check again for hydraulic leaks and watch that hoses
do not get pinched in hinges, wing stops, etc.
❑ Check that all grease fittings are in place and lubri-
cated. See “Lubrication” on page 23. The hubs will
come pre-greased and will not need greased at this
time.
❑ Check that all safety decals and reflectors are cor-
rectly located and legible. Replace if damaged. See
“Safety Decals” on page 5.
❑ Inflate tires to pressure recommended and tighten
wheel bolts as specified. See “Torque Values Chart”
on page 27.

Hitching Tractor to Sub-Soiler
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any part of your body between subsoiler and moving tractor. You may be severely injured or
killed by being crushed between the tractor and sub-soiler.
Stop tractor engine and set parking brake before attaching
cables and hoses.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of 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
pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
Hitching with 3-Point
1. The sub-soiler is designed to use either Category II
or III tractors. This implement is factory set for Category III tractors. To change to Category II, you will
need a Category II Ripper hitch pin kit P/N 596-060A.
See your Great Plains dealer to order kit.
2. In addition, the following bushings (not supplied by
Great Plains) may be needed to fit your quick hitch or
tractor’s 3-point arms:
• Upper Link 1” IDx1 1/4” OD
• Lower Links 1 1/8”IDx1 7/16” OD
3. Be sure that all tractor 3-point arms are securely
pinned before lifting the implement. Adjust the top 3point link so that the frame is at desired tip depth,
parallel with the ground.
4. Set the tractor 3-point draft control in the float position.

36. Determine the desired depth of the shank and set the
gauge wheel in the appropriate hole.
37. Subtract 8” from the shank depth. Take this distance
and measure from the top of the frame to the top of
the coulter shank . This will allow the coulter to run
approximately hub deep. If trying to deep rip less than
8”, position the top of the coulter shank flush with the
top of the tube.

Refer to Figure 13
38. Loosen the top and bottom set screws , jam nuts
and swivel limiter set screw . Lower the ripper in the
ground and drive forward a few feet.
39. Leave the ripper in the ground and tighten the top and
bottom set screws and jam nuts . Position the
swivel limiter in the center of the slot and tighten the
set screw .
40. Check alignment of the coulter and shank. Move either
the coulter or shank so the shank is in the center of the
grove made by the coulter.
Note: Note: If you want the coulter to swivel, loosen the top
and bottom set screws and jam nuts . Retighten
jam nut to prevent from loosing set screw.

Operating Instructions
This section covers general operating procedures. Experience, machine familiarity, and the following information
will lead to efficient operation and good working habits.
Always operate farm machinery with safety in mind.
Pre-Start Checklist
Perform the following steps before transporting the
SS1300-SS1700 Sub-Soiler to the field.
❑ Carefully read “Important Safety Information” on
page 1.
❑ Lubricate Sub-Soiler as indicated under “Lubrica-
tion” on page 23.
❑ Check all tires for proper inflation. “Tire Inflation
Chart” on page 26
❑ Check all bolts, pins, and fasteners. Torque as
shown in “Torque Values Chart” on page 27.
❑ Check Sub-Soiler for worn or damaged parts. Repair
or replace parts before going to the field.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure and shut down tractor before connecting, disconnecting or checking hydraulic lines. Use a piece of 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 pressure can
have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
Field Operation
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor and implement. Do not stand or place any
part of your body between implement and moving tractor. Stop
tractor engine and set park brake before installing pins.
44. Hitch implement to a suitable tractor, See “Hitching
Tractor to Sub-Soiler” on page 12-33.
45. Check to be sure machine is running level from front
to rear when running machine at depth desired. See
“Front to Rear Leveling” on page 16
46. Adjust guage wheels to desired tillage depth. See
“Gauge Wheel Adjustment” on page 17.
47. Adjust and align coulters to desired tillage depth.
“Coulter Alignment” on page 17
48. Always lift implement out of the ground when turning
at field ends and for other short-radius turns.
49. Both the Auto reset and Rigid shank mounts are protected by shear bolts for extreme overloads. If the
shank bolt shears replace the lower bolt with the correct shear bolt, use GP part number 802-060C.
(HHCS 5/8-11 x 4 Gr5).

20 SS1300 & SS1700 Table of Contents Index Great Plains Manufacturing, Inc.
Transporting
See “Hitching Tractor to Sub-Soiler” on page 12-13
before transporting the Sub-Soiler.
Check Tractor Capacity and Configuration
• Consult your tractor manual for 3-point limitations.
• Add weights to tractor as required.
When determining the weight of your Sub-Soiler, be sure
to include the weight of any options.
Transport Checklist
❑ Plan the route. Avoid steep hills. Keep Clearances in
mind.
❑ Make all electrical connections, See “Hitching Trac-
tor to Sub-Soiler” on page 12-13.
❑ Raise Sub-Soiler.
❑ Always have lights on for highway operation.
❑ Comply with all federal, state and local safety laws
when traveling on public roads.
❑ Travel with caution. Allow safe clearance.
Remember that the Sub-Soiler is wider than the tractor.
Loss of Control Hazard:
Use a tractor rated for the load. Add tractor ballast as needed.
Do not exceed 20 mph. Towing the Sub-Soiler with a vehicle
that is not adequate, or at high speeds, could lead to loss of
vehicle control. Loss of vehicle can result in a serious road
accident, severe injury or death. Check that your tractor has
enough to handle the weight of the Sub-Soiler. Refer to your
tractor’s operator manual for capacities and ballast requirements.
Parking
Perform the following steps when parking the implement.
Refer to “Storage”, page 22, to prepare for long-term storage.
50. Park implement on a level, solid area.
51. Lower implement until shanks are resting on the
ground.
Refer to Figure 16
52. Lower and pin parking stands.
53. Unplug light harness lead from tractor receptacle. Do
not allow lead to rest on the ground.
54. Unhitch from the tractor 3-point.

Maintenance and Lubrication
Maintenance
55. Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long
implement life. With careful and systematic inspection,
you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime and
repair.
56. Always turn off and remove the tractor key before making any adjustments or performing any maintenance
Refer to Figure 17
57. After using the implement for several hours, check all
bolts to be sure they are tight.
58. After one hour and again after five hours re-torque the
Gr. 8 bolts and Gr. 8 clamp bolts to 400 FT LBS.
Re-torque periodically.
59. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication”, page 23.
60. Inflate tires as specified on “Tire Inflation Chart”, page
27.
61. Replace or rotate worn parts as needed -- hinge bolts,
clevis pins, bearings, etc.
62. Check and tighten or replace any hydraulic leaks. Check
hoses for any leaks. It is important that there are no
leaks on the equipment.
63. Grease wheel bearings and walking beams sparingly.
Over greasing may cause damage to seals and reduce
the life of the bearing. Grease hinge points periodically.

Storage
64. Store implement where children do not play. If possible, store the implement inside for longer life.
65. Remove any dirt and debris that can hold moisture
and cause corrosion.
66. Lubricate areas noted under “Lubrication”, page 23.
67. Inspect implement for worn or damaged parts. Make
repairs and service during the off season.
68. Use spray paint to cover scratches, chips and worn
areas on the implement to protect the metal.
By following and maintaining a routine service and lubrication program, your tillage equipment will give you
many years of service.
