SAFETY INFORMATION

NOTICE
CAUTION
WARNING
DANGER
NOTE
DANGER
IMPORTANT
Federal law requires that you explain the safety and
operating instructions furnished with this implement to all
operators before they are allowed to operate the
implement. 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 implement.
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 implement decals (signs)
attached to the vehicle. This section explains their
meaning.
Special notice - read and thoroughly understand.
Keep these signs clean so they can be observed readily.
It is important to keep these decals cleaned more
frequently than the implement. Wash with soap and water
or a cleaning solution as required.
Replace decals that become damaged or lost. Also, be
sure that any new implement components installed
during repair include decals which are assigned to them
by the manufacturer.
When applying decals to the implement, 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 tractor or a
machine. Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the implement.
• Never allow children to operate equipment.
• Keep bystanders away from the implement
during operation.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed caution
cause injury to person or damage product.
may
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 implement decals
before you attempt to operate or maintain this equipment.
Examine safety decals and be sure you have the correct
safety decals for the implement. See Safety Sign and
Locations for decal locations. See Figures 1-2 and 1-3.
Order replacement decals through your Brillion dealer.
Transporting Safety
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
When transporting the implement 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 braking. Reduce speed
if towed load is not equipped with brakes.
Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of the
implement may cause the operator to lose control of the
tractor. Use a tractor 1.5 times heavier than the
implement.
Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the implement to
shift sideways.

SAFETY INFORMATION
NOTE
NOTE
Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Know transport height
and width of your implement. Refer to transport
dimensions. See Table 4-2.
Attaching, Detaching and Storage
• Do not stand between the tractor and implement when
attaching or detaching implement unless both are
incapable of moving.
• Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, be
sure all connections are tight and that hydraulic lines
and hoses are not damaged.
• Lower implement to the ground when not in use so
that the shanks are taking the load.
• Block implement 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 implement 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 implement while it
is in motion.
Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system
pressure is relieved.
Understand all maintenance procedures before doing the
work. Use the proper tools and equipment.
High Pressure Fluid Safety
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.
On most tractors relieving hydraulic pressure can be
accomplished by operating valves after the engine is
stopped. Also, the implement should be lowered to the
ground so that the shanks are taking the load.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.
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
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 and 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 the phone.
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.

Assembly of Optional Equipment

MACHINE
Orientation of blade (or brush) agitator
w/ respect to shaft rotation.
Rotation
of Shaft
The intent of this chapter is to provide instructions
allowing you to safely and correctly assemble your
Brillion product.
Do not work on or under this implement unless
securely blocked and supported by a hoist or
tractor or by other sufficient means!
Agitator Blades (Optional Cage or Brushes)
Agitator blades are supplied as standard on your
seedbox. While in operation, they should operate leaving
a slight clearance with the bottom of the seed box.
Agitator brushes (optional) in the seed box sweep the
bottom of the box to control the flow of seed. However, if
they exert too much pressure on the bottom of the box,
chain breakage and excessive brush wear can possibly
result. To overcome excessive pressure of the brushes
on the bottom of the box, the bolts holding the triangular
cast iron bearings can be loosened and the bearings
raised to reduce excessive drag. The holes in the bearing
are slightly larger than the bolts holding them, thus
making an adjustment possible.
Cage agitator (optional) operates similar to blades.
Before proceeding with any agitator installation, be
sure to determine the direction of shaft rotation on
your particular seeder model. See Figure 2-1.

Changing Agitator Kits
1. Remove two capscrews (inside the box) which hold
bearing on the right end of the right seed box. See
Figure 2-2.
2. Slide shaft out of right end.
3. Agitators should be installed with careful attention
paid to the direction of shaft rotation. This is
especially important if you are installing brush
agitators as they will be damaged if they are run
backwards. Blade agitators will not be damaged if
they run ”backwards”, but the seed rate will be
reduced.
4. With the agitators properly seated in the boxes,
replace the drive shafts. Replace washers as needed
for fit.
5. Check to be sure agitators rotate freely. Some
seeders may have bolts extending into the seed box
causing interference. These bolts will need to be
shortened.
