Important Safety Information

Look for Safety SymbolThe 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 WordsSignal 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.

Prepare for Emergencies Be prepared if a fire starts

Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.

Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital and fire department near phone.

Be Familiar with Safety Decals Read and understand “Safety Decals” on page 3,

thoroughly.

Read all instructions noted on the decals.

Keep decals clean. Replace damaged, faded and illegible decals.

Wear Protective EquipmentGreat Plains advises all users of treated seeds to use the following personal safety equipment.

Googles, mask or full face respirator

Gloves

Cloth coveralls/outer clothing changed daily

Waterproof boots or foot coverings

Do not wear contaminated clothing. Wash protective clothing and equipment with soap and water after each use. Personal clothing must be laundered separately from household articles.

Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job. Avoid loose-fitting clothing..

Handle Treated Seed ProperlyAgricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil and property.

Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions.

Wear protective clothing.

Handle all chemicals with care.

If persons are exposed to treatments in a way that could affect their health, consult a doctor immediately with the chemical label or container in hand. Any delay could cause serious illness or death.

Wash hands and face before eating after working with treated seed. Shower as soon as application is completed for the day.

Apply only with acceptable wind conditions. Wind speed must be below 5 mph (8 km/h). Make sure wind drift of chemicals will not affect any surrounding land, people or animals.

Never wash out a seed box within 100 feet (30 m) of any freshwater source or in a car wash.

If the small seed hoses will be placed on the center line of the openers, install the support angles between the opener mounting bracket with a 1/2-13 U-bolt (4), lock washers (5), and nuts (6).

If the small seed hoses will be placed between the rows, install the support angles on top of the opener square tube, directly above the opener arm brackets. Replace the existing U-bolt with two 1/2-13 x 3 inch bolts (7), lock washers, and nuts.

3. Fasten the hose mounting channel to the support angles with a 1/2-13 x 1-1/4 inch bolt (8), bolt tab (9), lock washer, and nut.

4. Secure the small seed hose (10) to the small seed cup with a small hose clamp (11).

5. Direct the small seed hose into the hose mounting channel either on the center line or between rows.

6. Cut the small seed hoses to the desired lengths.

7. Check hardware and small seed hoses to make sure they are secure.

Adjustments

Seeding AdjustmentsRefer to Figure 16Arrange the sprockets on the small-seeds attachment according to which drive type you will use on the main drill box.

Note: For accurate metering on the small seeds attachment, the main drill box sprockets must be set to drive type 1, 2, or 2A

To change sprockets:

1. Remove the nut on the double speed change sprocket.

2. Turn over the sprocket.

3. Loosen the idler arm bolt.

4. Adjust the chains as needed and tighten both bolts.

Note: The lengths of the chains will need to be adjusted.

Set Small Seed Rate HandlePosition each small seed rate handle to the setting indicated on the Small Seeds Seed Rate Chart.

To adjust:

1. Loosen the wing nut under the small seeds rate handle.

2. Slide the handle until indicator lines up with the correct setting.

3. Tighten wing nut.

Check Small Seeds RateThe small seeds rate charts are based on cleaned, untreated seed of average size and test weight. The rates are based on 9.5L x 15 rib implement tires.

Many factors will affect seeding rates including foreign material, seed treatment, seed size, field conditions, tire pressure and test weight. Minor adjustments likely will be needed.

Set and check the seeding rate using the following procedure, then adjust the rate as necessary.

Note: Seeding rates will vary with variations of seed size. The seeding rates listed are based on an average seed size. Test and adjust your drill using the procedure below to help ensure an accurate seeding rate.

1. Record the weight of an empty container large enough to hold the seed metered for one acre.

2. Place several pounds of seed over three small seeds cups on an outside end of the small seeds box. Pull the seed tubes off these three openers.

3. Raise the drill off the ground.

4. Turn the gauge wheel a few turns to fill the cups with seed. Turn wheel until seed drops to the ground from all three cups.

5. Place a container under the three seed tubes to gather the seed as it is metered.

6. Turn the drive gauge wheel until one acre has been counted on the acremeter

• 12 ft drill - 450 rotations• 14 ft drill - 400 rotations• 15 ft drill - 364 rotations• 20 ft drill - 273 rotations• 27 ft drill - 200 rotations• 30 ft drill - 182 rotations

Check that the three small seeds cups have plenty of seed coming into them.

7. Calculate the small seeds rate:

• Weigh the metered seed and subtract the initial weight of the empty container.

• Divide by three for the amount metered by each seed cup.

• Multiply by the number of drill openers for the pounds-per-acre seeding rate.

If this figure is different than desired, adjust the small seeds rate handle and recheck the rate.

8. When drilling, note the acres drilled, amount of seed added, and level of seed in drill box. If you are seeding more or less than desired, adjust seeding rate slightly to compensate for field conditions.

Note: If your results vary greatly from the charts, you may want to repeat the calibration process.

Maintenance and Lubrication

Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long implement life. With careful and systematic inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime and repair.

Always turn off and remove the tractor key before making any adjustments or performing any maintenance.

General Maintenance1. After using your drill for several hours, check all bolts

to be sure they are tight.

2. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety decals by obtaining new decals from your Great Plains Dealer.

Storage1. Clean the Small Seeds Attachment as necessary. Be

sure that the seed boxes are completely cleaned before storing.

2. Store the drill inside if possible for longer life.

Chain InstallationWhenever mounting a chain, make sure the clip at the removable link is oriented to minimize snags.

Refer to Figure 17 (arrow shows chain direction)Install clip with open end facing away from direction of chain travel (striped arrows in routing diagrams).

Chain SlackCheck slack within the first 8 hours of operation and tighten idlers as necessary.

Refer to Figure 18, which, for clarity, greatly exaggerates slack, and omits the idlers.1. Measure the span (1) for allowable slack:

Locate the longest span of each chain (usually the span which does not run through the idlers).

2. Determine the ideal slack:Long chains (over 36in/91cm): 1/4 inch per footVertical short chains: 1/4 inch per foot (2.1cm/m)Horizontal short chains: 1/2 inch per foot (4.2cm/m).

3. Measure the slack (2) by acting at a right angle to the chain span at the center of the span, and deflecting in both directions. The slack is the distance of the movement.

4. Adjust the idlers for ideal slack.
