WARNING
Be sure to observe the following sequence:
If seeder is to be unhooked with rollers on the ground, do
one of the following two things to assure proper balance.
• Lower tires to the ground, holding them hydraulically,
or
• Install a 5/8” x 2 1/2” bolt and nut in the “Shipping” bolt
position as shown. See Figure 3-2.

Be sure to remove bolt after seeder is reattached to
