SAFETY
Safety Messages
All preventive safety warnings included in this manual show this sign. When you
see this sign, please read the messages with attention since they refer to
potential risks derived from handling the planter.
General Precautions
Read this manual before using your planter in order to be better informed about how it
works and therefore, reduce accident risks.
The Planter should be used only by people trained on agriculture equipment handling
and informed about how to operate this product.
Do not allow anyone near your equipment when you are ready to work in the field.
Especially, DO not allow any children near your equipment. Under no circumstances should
children be near agriculture equipment.
Do not introduce any structural modification to your implement without previously
discussing it with your dealer. Any structural modification may affect equipment strength
and/or result in a significant damage with serious economic and / or personal consequences.
Precautions for Road Transport
The equipment you have bought is a pull-type planter; it is designed to be pulled by a
tractor riding at low speed and in daytime. Any other road transport means may jeopardize
yours and other users’ safety and result in accident-related injuries.
Please, transport the implement with empty seed and fertilizer hoppers to prevent
accidents and wear.
Take special care and utmost precautions for planter road-transport. It is advisable to
have one or several sets of rotating warning lights as well as a warning vehicle for further
protection. Remember the planter transport width and consider this is an SMV (Slow Moving
Vehicle) on the road.
10
The implement must be hitched only to the tractor’s drawbar. Hitching the implement to any
other point may result in serious accidents.
Under no circumstances should there be riders in the implement because of the
danger entailed.
Drive safely and slow down before braking or turning. Very large models require
extreme precautions when turning since the implement takes most of any turning room
available. Be aware of instructions contained in the section on how to prepare the planter for
road transport.
The planter must be trailed by a tractor of the same weight or of a weight exceeding
that of the planter. Otherwise, the capacity to stop when operating the brake will be affected.
Constantly verify the maximum height allowed along your road to prevent potential
contact/strikes of your planter with obstacles such as bridges, trees, posts and wires.
Before moving onto the road, check that all your planter safety locks (lift cylinders,
markers, etc.) are in proper position.
Safety chains are required between the planter and the tractor for road transport.
Precautions for Field Operation
Set the parking brake every time you leave your tractor’s driving seat if the planter is
mounted.
Do not operate the hydraulic controls on your planter from anywhere except your
tractor’s driving seat.
Do not park the tractor and planter on slopes.
Before any field operation, check that the planter is properly mounted and that cover
chains, safety locks and other safety protections are in place.
In case you intend to work with seeds or products that may create a toxic cloud, you
are required to wear proper clothing (breathing mask, goggles, gloves) for personal
protection.
