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.

1-2 1P124

Keep clear of overhead power lines and other

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.

Seed Rate Calibration

•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
