Transport Steps
Transport only with markers stowed (page 33).
1. Check that planter is securely hitched to a sufficient
tractor (page 15).
2. Verify correct operation of lights.
3. Fold markers if unfolded (Option, page 33).
4. Raise planter (page 20).
5. Raise parking stands (page 15).
6. If the planter has lift-assist, install the cylinder lock
(page 20).
7. Unload seed and fertilizer hoppers before
transporting if at all possible. The planter can be
transported with a full material load, but the added
weight increases stopping distance and decreases
maneuverability.
Increased Hazards and Wear Risks:
Seed may be loaded prior to travel, but increases stopping
distance, increases the need for caution in turns and braking,
and increases tire wear.
8. If any seed is in hoppers or delivery hoses, close
seed inlet shutters at meters (page 60).
9. Check that tires are properly inflated (page 106).
10. Plan the route. Avoid steep hills.
11. Always have lights on for highway operation.
12. Do not exceed 32 kph. Comply with all national,
regional and local laws when traveling on public
roads.
13. Remember that the planter may be wider than the
tractor or towing vehicle. Allow safe clearance.
14. Transport slowly over uneven or rough terrain.
