NOTE
DANGER
IMPORTANT
Federal law requires that you explain the safety and
operating instructions furnished with this machine to all
operators before they are allowed to operate the
machine. These instructions must be repeated to the
operators at the beginning of each season. Be sure to
observe and follow the instructions for the safety of
anyone operating or near the machine.
Investigation has shown that nearly 1/3 of all farm
accidents are caused by careless use of machinery.
Insist that all people working with you or for you abide by
all safety instructions.
Understanding Safety Statements
You will find various types of safety information on the
following pages and on the machine decals (signs)
attached to the vehicle. This section explains their
meaning.
The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION! YOUR
SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Special notice - read and thoroughly understand.
Order replacement decals through your Brillion dealer.
Keep these signs clean so they can be observed readily.
It is important to keep these decals cleaned more
frequently than the machine. Wash with soap and water
or a cleaning solution as required.
Replace decals that become damaged or lost. Also, be
sure that any new machine components installed during
repair include decals which are assigned to them by the
manufacturer.
When applying decals to the machine, be sure to clean
the surface to remove any dirt or residue. Where
possible, sign placement should protect the sign from
abrasion, damage, or obstruction from mud, dirt, oil etc.
Keep Riders Off of Machinery
• Do not allow extra riders on the tractor or a
machine. Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the machine.
• Never allow children to operate equipment.
• Keep bystanders away from the machine during
operation.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed caution
may
cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed warning will
cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with extreme caution. Failure to heed
notice will cause injury or death to person and/or
damage product.
You should read and understand the information
contained in this manual and on the machine decals
before you attempt to operate or maintain this equipment.
Examine safety decals and be sure you have the correct
safety decals for the machine. See Safety Sign and
Locations in Safety Section for decal locations. See
Figures 1-3 and 1-4.
Transporting Safet y
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
When transporting the machine on a road or highway,
use adequate warning symbols, reflectors, lights and
slow moving vehicle sign (purchased separately), as
required. Slow moving tractors and towed implements
can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They
are difficult to see, especially at night.
Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded, weighs
more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark tractor and implement in
case of breakdown on the road.
Do not transport at speeds over 20 MPH under good
conditions. 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.
Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of the
machine may cause the operator to lose control of the
tractor. Use a tractor heavier than the machine.
Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the machine to
shift sideways.
1-21P124
Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
NOTE
NOTE
obstructions when transporting. Know transport height
and width of your machine. Refer to transport dimensions
page 5-1.
Attaching, Detaching and Storage
• Do not stand between the tractor and the implement
when attaching or detaching the implement unless
both are not moving.
• Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, be
sure all connections are tight and that hydraulic lines
and hoses are not damaged.
• Lower machine to ground when not in use so that the
shanks are taking the load.
• Block machine so it will not roll when unhitched from
the tractor.
• Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines before uncoupling
hydraulic hoses from tractor.
On most tractors relieving hydraulic pressure can be
accomplished by operating valves after the engine is
stopped.
Maintenance Safety
Block the machine so it will not roll when working on or
under it to prevent injury in case of hydraulic failure or
inadvertent lowering by another person.
Do not make adjustments or lubricate the machine while
it is in motion.
Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system
pressure is relieved.
Understand the procedure before doing the work. Use
proper tools and equipment. Refer to “General Torque
Specifications” on page 4-1 for additional information.
High Pressure Fluid Safety
Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly invisible and
have enough force to penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Use a piece of cardboard, rather than hands, to
search for suspected leaks.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY INFORMATION
On most tractors relieving hydraulic pressure can be
accomplished by operating valves after the engine is
stopped. Also, the machine should be lowered to ground.
Wear protective gloves & safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems.
Protective Equipment
• Wear protective clothing & equipment.
• Wear clothing & equipment appropriate for the job.
Avoid loose fitting clothing.
• Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable
hearing protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs.
Chemical Safety
Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use
can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil &
property.
Read chemical manufacture’s instructions and store or
dispose of unused chemicals as specified. Handle
chemicals with care and avoid inhaling smoke from any
type of chemical fire.
Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by the
chemical manufacturer.
Prepare for Emergencies
• Keep a First Aid Kit and Fire Extinguisher handy.
• Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance,
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 to allow you to stand to one side, not in
front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if
available.
When removing and installing wheels, use
wheel-handling equipment adequate for weight involved.
Safety Chain
Use a safety chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from the tractor drawbar.

Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of towed machinery, in accordance with
ASAE S338.2 specifications. If two or more machines are
pulled in tandem, a larger chain may be required. Chain
capacity must be greater that the total weight of all towed
implements.
A second chain should be used between each
implement.
Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or
specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the
chain to permit turning. The distance from hitch pin to
attachment point or intermediate support point should not
exceed 9 inches. See Figure 1-2.
Machines with a 3 hole drawbar, See Figure 1-2.
Replace chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
Do not use a safety chain for towing.

WARNING
DO NOT GO NEAR LEAKS
High pressure oil easily punctures
skin causing serious injury,
gangrene or death.
If injured, seek emergency medical
help. Immediate surgery is
required to remove oil.
Do not use fingers or skin to
check for leaks.
Lower load or relieve hydraulic
pressure before loosening fittings.
PLANTING RATES FOR FRONT SEED BOX
1. Rates are for 11 tooth driver. Double these values for 22 tooth driver.
2. Rates are intended as a guide only. Variation in size and cleanliness will affect rates.
Check acreage and pounds of seed used for best results.
•Seed rate charts are located inside the seed box covers of both the front and rear seed boxes.
They should be used as general guides only. Because of seed variation, a more accurate rate
can be found by calibrating the seeder as shown in steps 1-6.
•The provided charts were determined by laboratory tests on various samples.
To fnd rates for
specifc seed lots or to calibrate for unlisted seeds, proceed as shown on the seed charts.
Calibration of Front Seed Box
Front Seed Box May be calibrated for unlisted seed as follows:
1. Raise Machine and Lock in transport position.
2. Disengage clutch (electrical power is required to disengage).
3. Close Meters of rear seed box if box contains seed.
4. Place a tarp under machine to collect seed.
5. Turn the 11/16 Hex on transmission clockwise as follows:
•118 revolutions for 8-foot seeder
•92 revolutions for 10-foot seeder
•78 revolutions for 12-foot seeder
6. Weigh seed for approximate planting rate in pounds/acre.
Seed rate will be doubled if 22 tooth sprocket is used.
