Important Safety Information

Keep Riders

Off Machinery

Riders obstruct the operator’s view.

Riders could be struck by foreign

objects or thrown from machine.

▲Never allow riders on implement.

▲Never allow children to operate

equipment.

Be Aware of Signal Words

Signal words designate a degree or

level of hazard seriousness. The sig-

nal words are:

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 func-

tional purposes, cannot be guarded.

Indicates a potentially hazardous sit-

uation 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.

Indicates a potentially hazardous sit-

uation which, if not avoided, may

result in minor or moderate injury. It

may also be used to alert against

unsafe practices.

For Your Protection

▲Thoroughly read and understand

Safety Decals, page 4. Read all

instructions noted on decals.

!CAUTION

Shutdown and Storage

▲Lower machine to ground, put

tractor in park, turn off engine,

and remove key.

▲Detach and store implement in an

area where children normally do

not play. Secure implement with

blocks and supports.

OFF

!WARNING

!DANGER

Look for Safety Symbol

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indi-

cates 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, con-

cern, prudence and proper training of

personnel involved in the operation,

transport, maintenance and storage

of equipment.

Handle

Chemicals Properly

Agricultural chemicals can be dan-

gerous. Improper use can seriously

injure persons, animals, plants, soil

and property.

▲Wear protective clothing.

▲Handle all chemicals with care.

▲Follow instructions on container

label.

▲Avoid inhaling smoke from any

type of chemical ﬁre.

▲Store or dispose of unused chem-

icals as speciﬁed by chemical

manufacturer.

Transport

Machinery Safely

Maximum transport speed for imple-

ment is 20 mph. Some rough terrains

require a slower speed. Sudden

braking can cause a towed load to

swerve and upset.

▲Do not exceed 20 mph. Never

travel at a speed which does not

allow adequate control of steering

and stopping. Reduce speed if

towed load is not equipped with

brakes.

▲Comply with state and local laws.

▲Do not tow an implement that,

when fully loaded, weighs more

than 1.5 times the weight of tow-

ing vehicle.

Use Safety

Lights and Devices

Slow-moving tractors, self-propelled

equipment and towed implements

can create a hazard when driven on

public roads. They are difﬁcult to see,

especially at night.

▲Use ﬂashing warning lights and

turn signals whenever driving on

public roads.

▲Use lights and devices provided

with implement.

Practice Safe Maintenance

▲Understand procedure before

doing work. Use proper tools and

equipment. Refer to this manual

for additional information.

▲Work in a clean, dry area.

▲Lower implement to ground, put

tractor in park, turn off engine,

and remove key before performing

maintenance.

▲Allow implement to cool completely.

▲Inspect all parts. Make sure parts

are in good condition and installed

properly.

▲Remove buildup of grease, oil or

debris.

▲Remove all tools and unused

parts from implement before oper-

ation.

Use A Safety Chain

▲Use a safety chain to help con-

trol drawn machinery should it

separate from tractor drawbar.

▲Use a chain with a strength rat-

ing equal to or greater than the

gross weight of towed machin-

ery.

▲Attach chain to tractor drawbar

support or other speciﬁed

anchor location. Allow only

enough slack in chain to permit

turning.

▲Replace chain if any links or end

ﬁttings are broken, stretched or

damaged.

▲Do not use safety

chain for towing.

Important Safety Information

6/21/2004 PH-15, PH-20, PFH-15 and PFH-20 Coulter Command System 148-384M

Great Plains Mfg., Inc.

Prepare for Emergencies

▲Be prepared if a ﬁre starts.

▲Keep a ﬁrst aid kit and ﬁre extin-

guisher handy.

▲Keep emergency numbers for

doctor, ambulance, hospital and

ﬁre department near phone.

Tire Safety

Tire changing can be dangerous and

should be performed by trained per-

sonnel using correct tools and equip-

ment.

▲When inﬂating tires, use a clip-on

chuck and extension hose long

enough to allow you to stand to

one side–not in front of or over tire

assembly. Use a safety cage if

available.

▲When removing and installing

wheels, use wheel-handling

equipment adequate for weight

involved.

911

Wear

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.

▲Because operating equipment

safely requires your full attention,

avoid wearing radio headphones

while operating machinery.

Avoid High

Pressure Fluids Hazard

Escaping ﬂuid under pressure can

penetrate skin, causing serious

injury.

▲Avoid the hazard by relieving

pressure before disconnecting

hydraulic lines.

▲Use a piece of paper or card-

board, NOT BODY PARTS, to

check for suspected leaks.

▲Wear protective gloves and safety

glasses or goggles when working

with hydraulic systems.

▲If an accident occurs, see a doc-

tor immediately. Any ﬂuid injected

into the skin must be surgically

removed within a few hours or

gangrene may result.

Safety at All Times

Thoroughly read and understand this

manual before operating implement.

Refer to Safety Decals, page 4. Read

all instructions noted on decals.

▲Be familiar with all implement

functions.

▲Operate implement from driver’s

seat only.

▲Do not leave tractor or implement

unattended with engine running.

▲Do not dismount a moving tractor.

Dismounting a moving tractor could

cause serious injury or death.

▲Do not stand between the tractor

and implement during hitching.

▲Keep hands, feet and clothing

away from power-driven parts.

▲Wear snug-ﬁtting clothing to avoid

entanglement with moving parts.

▲Watch out for wires, trees, etc.,

when raising implement. Make

sure all persons are clear of work-

ing area.

▲Do not turn tractor too tight, caus-

ing implement to ride up on

wheels.

Description of Unit

The Precision Hitch Coulter Command System couples a

microprocessor with electro-hydraulics to provide a state-

of-the-art system for maintaining coulter depth regardless

of the terrain or soil type. It also provides coulter depth ad-

justment from the tractor cab.

The Coulter Command System contains a depth sensing

wheel, an electronic control box, a speed sensor, a depth

sensorbox,aliftcontrolswitch,awiringharness,atoplink

and a hydraulic control valve. It uses the tongue cylinder

from your Precision Hitch.

This manual applies to the following:

•148-382A Precision Hitch Coulter Command,

Non Fertilizer

•148-383A Precision Hitch Coulter Command, For

Fertilizer

Section 1 Assembly and Setup

Prestart Checklist

Depth Sensing Wheel

If your Precision Hitch is equipped with liquid fertilizer

(PFH), the fertilizer drive wheel doubles as the coulter

depth sensing wheel and will require additional sensor as-

sembly and adjustment.

If you do not have the liquid fertilizer option (PFH), the

coulter command will contain a coulter depth sensing

wheel which is subassembled and preadjusted.

Check

All major frame components

Fasteners and pins that were shipped with the Coulter Com-

mand System.

NOTE: All hardware from the factory has been installed in the

location where it will be used. If a part or fastener is temporarily

removed for assembly reasons, remember where it goes.Keep

the parts separated.

Have a minimum of 2 people at hand while assembling the

Coulter Command System.

Have a forklift or loader along with chains and safety stands

ready for the assembly task.

If you are unsure where a fastener is used, refer to the Parts

Manual to identify it.

2. Fasten rockshaftswitchcam(6) totransportrockshaft

just below the lift switch. Position the cam so it con-

tacts the lift switch when hitch is raised and moves

away from the lift switch when hitch is lowered. Posi-

tion the worm gear screw on the cam mounting band

to the bottom of the rockshaft so it does not interfere

with the lift switch.

3. Adjust lift switch in the slotted holes so the plunger

movesin about1/8inch when thecamactivatesit and

tighten the #10 screws. Do not bottom out the plunger

on the lift switch.
