Before Operation :
• Carefully study and understand this
manual.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing which
may catch in moving parts.
• It is recommended that suitable
protective hearing and (eye protection)
sight protectors be worn.
• The operator may come in contact with
certain materials witch may require
specific safety equipment, relative to the
handling of such materials (examples :
extremely dusty, molds, fungus, bulk
fertilizers, insecticides, etc.)
• Assure that the planter tires are inflated
evenly.
• Give the planter a visual inspection for
any loose bolts, worn parts or cracked
welds, and make necessary repairs.
• Be sure that there are no tools lying on
or in the planter.
• Don’t hurry the learning process or take
the unit for granted. Ease into it and
become familiar with your new planter.
• Practice operation of your planter and its
attachments. Completely familiarize
yourself and other operators with its
operations before using.
• Do not allow anyone to stand between
the tongue or hitch and the towing
vehicle when backing up the planter.

children ! Always look around to make
sure that it is safe to start the engine of
the towing vehicle.
• No passengers allowed anywhere on, or
in the planter during operation.
• Keep hands and clothing clear of moving
parts.
• Do not clean, lubricate or adjust your
equipment while it is moving.
• When halting operation, even
periodically, set the tractor or towing
vehicle brakes, disengage the PTO, shut
of the engine and remove the ignition
key.
• Be especially observant of the operating
area and terrain – watch for holes, rocks
or other hidden hazards. Always inspect
the area prior the operation.
Do not operate near the edge of drop-
offs or banks.
Do not operate on steep slopes as
overturn may result.
Be extra careful when working on
inclines.

hardware on equipment following every
100 hours of operation. Correct all
