Safety Suggestions

• OPERATION
• Be careful when operating the planter to avoid
  !njury to the operator and assistants.
• If the planter must be in a raised position while
  working on or near it, be certain safety
  transport links or storage strap is installed.
• Permit only one person, the operator, on the
  tractor platform while tractor and planter are in
  operation.
• Be careful when operating on hillsides because
  the tractor may tip sideways if it strikes a
  hole, ditch, or other irregularity.
• Never rid'e or permit others to ride on the
  drawbar of the tractor or on the planter.
• When using the auger fill attachment
• Keep all shields in place.
• Disengage and shut off all engine and/or motor
  power before servicing or unclogging machine.
• Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from
• power-driven parts.
• HYDRAULIC OIL
• Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can have
  sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing
  serious personal inury. Before disconnecting
  lines, be sure to relieve all pressure. Before
  applying pressure to the system , be sure all
  connections are tight and that fines, pipes and
  hoses are not damaged. Oil escaping from a very
  small hole can be almosl invisible Use a piece of
  cardboard or wood, rather than hands, to search
  for suspected leaks.
• If injured by escaping oil, see a doctor at once.
  Serious infection or reaction can develop if
  proper medical treatment is not administered
  immediately
• Always relieve pressure in the hydraulic system
  before working with hydraulic syslem components.
• AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS
• Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous Improper
  selection or use can injure persons, animals,
  plants, soils, or other property. BE SAFE handle
  and apply with care. Follow instructions of the
  chemical manu- facturer.

• GENERAL
• The safety of the operator was one of the prime
  considerations in the minds of John
• Deere engineers when this planter was designed.
• Shielding, simple adjustments, and other safety
  fea- tures were built into the planter wherever
  possible.
• You can make your farm a safer place to live and
  work if you observe the safety suggestions given.
  Study these suggestions carefully and insist that
  they be followed by those working with you and
  for you.
• Finally, remember this an accident is usually
  caused by someone s carelessness, neglect, or
  over- sight.
• TRANSPORTING
• Always lock planter in transport position when
  transporting the planter for any length of time
  or on open roads.
• When transporting the planter on a smooth surface
  road, do not exceed maximum tractor transport
  speed. Reduce speed considerably when traveling
  over rough ground.
• When transporting the planter on a road or
  highway at nighl or during the day, use accessory
  lights and devices for adequate warning to
  operators of other vehicles. In this regard,
  check local governmental reg- ulations. Various
  safety lights and devices are avail- able from
  your John Deere dealer.
• SERVICE
• Always lower the planter \o the ground when not
  in use. Whenever possible, perform service work
  and adjustments with the planter on the ground.
• Never clean, lubricate, or adjust a machine that
  is \n motion.

CHECKING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM After attaching planter
to tractor for the first time, check all
hydraulic connections, lines and hoses,
for leaks.
Remove hitch pin and drive tractor forward
away rom hitch.
CAUTION Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure
can have sufficient force to pen- etrate the
skin, causing serious personal injury. Before
disconnecting lines, be sure to relieve all
pressure. Before applying pressure to the system,
be sure all connections are tight and that lines,
pipes, and hoses are not damaged. Hydraulic oil
escaping from a very small hole can be almost
invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood,
rather than hands, to search for suspect- ed
leaks. If injured by escaping hydraulic oil, see
a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction
can develop if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.

CAUTION When transporting the planter on a
smooth surface road, do not exceed maximum
tractor transport speed. Reduce speed
considerably when traveling over rough
ground. When transporting the planter on a
road or highway at night or during the day, use
accesso- ry lights and devices for adequate
warning to op- erator's of other vehicles. In
this regard, check local governmental
regulations. Various safety lights and devices
are available from your John Deere dealer.
Always lock planter in transport position
when transpor1ing the planter for any length of
time. Before transporting the planter. fully
extend the re- mote hydraulic cylinder and
connect the safely trans- port links to the wheel
frame center mast.
To lock hydraulic markers in transport position
pro- ceed as follows
Push marker arm in until contact is made
with planter frame. Continue to rotate spring
cushion 90 degrees far- ther until marker arm is
locked in position. Tighten lock nut and insert
pin in storage position. If tfansporting the
planter any great distance, emp- ty all hoppers.
Removing the drive wheel chains will greatly
reduce drive and chain wear. The marker extension
arms can be removed for added height
clearance. After reaching the field, remove
transport links from center mast and pin in
storage position. Unlock markers

T 0 RAI SE
Using a standard remote hydraulic cylinder with
an 8-inch (200 mm) stroke, lower planter to
planting posi- tion (cylinder fully retracted).
This will position bottom of main frame tube
approximately 20 inches (510 mm) above ground.
Normally, when planting, parallel arms (A) should
run approximately parallel to ground.
If hitch adjustment is required, raise or lower
hitch by installing clevis as shown above.
The bottom of the hitch panels should be approxi-
mately 14 inches (360 mm) above the ground and
parallel to the ground. The parallel arm support
angles (B) on the planting units should be

Operating Adjustments 4 1
PLANTING DEPTH If smaI! increments are desired,
walk" the handle from side to side. Adjust all
rows to same setting as a starting point. NOTE
When operating in the (ield, lower the planter
only when the tractor is movinp forward. This
will prevent lhe planter openers from clogging in
moist soil conditions. Lower planter and drive
at normal planting speed. Check the planting
depth of all rows. Readjust handles as required
to obtain desired depth. Manufacturing
variations in the planting units may require that
the depth adjusting handles be positioned
differently from row to row to achieve the same
planting depth. NOTE. Closing wheel pressure can
afleet seed placement and depth. Do noi consider
the entire cenler ridge IefI by closing wheels as
part of seed depth. The loose soil in this ridge
serves as mulch.

Planting depth is controlled by the planting unit
gauge wheels. Adjust planting deplh as
follows Raise planter to remove weight from
unit gauge wheels. Lift depth adusting handle
and move it forward to decrease planting deplh.
Move the handle rearward to increase planting
oeplh.

Operaiinp Adjustments 13
SEED TUBES Regular Seed Tubes Two regular seed
tubes are available for planting a wide variety
of seed sizes. Both regular seed tubes are
designed with a curved lower portion that directs
the seed rearward to reduce seed roll as the
planter travels forward. The small tube is
recommended for corn, soybeans, sorghum, and
other small seeds. The large tube is recommended
for edible beans, mechanically delinted cotton,
large peanuts, and other large seeds.

Position hook (B) on front of tube over aligning
pin (C) push top of seed tube forward and secure
with retainer pin (D) and spring locking pin.
IMPORTANT When planter is being used with four
wheel drive tractors, avoid turning the tractor
steering wheel when the planter is lowered and
stationary. This can cause plugging in the seed
tube and disk opener in the outside planting
units. Low-Rate Maize/Sugar Beet Seed
Tube The low-rate maize/sugar beet seed tube is
used only with the plate meter for very small and
delicate seeds. These aluminum seed tubes are
shaped to give a rearward thrust to the seed to
offset the forward motion of the planter. Added
length allows this seed tube to better control
the seed placement in the seed trench. See page
106 for assembly instructions.

14 Operating Adjustments MARKER ADJUSTMENT There
are two different systems available for con-
trolling markers, automatic and independent.
fi R K r R t 0h R 0L
With the automatic system, the marker hydraulic
oil line is connected into the pressure-raise-side
of the tractor remote cylinder. This will
automatically alternate markers each time the
planter is fully raised.
Wilh the ndependent system, the hydraulic marker
oil line is connected to a separate tractor
control outlet, to raise or lower the markers
independently.
NOTE. When planting, remote cylinder operating
lever should be locked in float position to allow
marker to follow pround contour. See tractor
operator's manu- al.
RACT0E

Operating Adjustments 15
Rate of Drop
Cable Length
The fate al which the oil raises and lowers the
marker arms is controlled by the marker control
valve located in the center of the planter.
Raising speed of the hydraulic marker is
controlled by orifice size ano is not adjustable
, however the rate of drop is controlled by
spring pressure in the marker control valve.
To stabilize raised marker arms during field
trans- port and operation, proceed as follows
CAUTION To avoid injury from escaping hydraulic
oil under pressure, relieve the pressure in the
system by shutting off tractor and moving remote
cylinder operating levers in both directions
be1ore attaching hoses to or detaching hoses from
the breakaway couplers.
Check eye adjusting nut on end of marker cable.
As a starling point, eye nut should oe positioned
approxi- mately midway between ends of thread on
cable.
10-52
NOTE Look inside ol the control valve before at-
tempting to make any adjustment. I( the spring
retainer is slotted, adjust wilh a screw driver
(as illuslraled). II the spring retainer hds twO
holes al the top, ad)ust with needle-nose pliers.
To adust marker rate of drop. lower planter and
marker to the gtound and relieve hydraulic oil
pressure from system. Remove hose from front end
of valve arid turn spring retainer clockwise as
far as possible. This will give you the slowest
rate of drop.
To obtain a Master rate of drop, back spring
retainer out at 1/2 turn increments until desired
rate of drop is achieved.
If necessary, loosen jam nut and adjust cable
lenglh with eye adjusting nut. Ad)ust cable so
that spring cushion maintains light contact with
main frame (bold arrow) when marker is raised. If
cables are too light, markers will not alternate.
IMPORTANT If raising speed is too rapid (two
seconds or less), check for foreign material
under the valve seat.
Raise marker and inspect setting. Lower each arm
and make necessary additional adjustments.
Tighten jam nut. NOTE. Since marker cables may
stretch slightly during opera tion, periodically
check marker contact.
