Preparation and Setup
This section helps you prepare your tractor and planter
for use. Before using the YP1630F in the field, you must
hitch the planter to a suitable tractor and level the
planter.
Initial Setup
If the planter has just been delivered, or broken down for
re-shipment, these items need to be completed prior to
first field use:
“Appendix C - Initial Setup” on page 120, which
includes:
“Hydraulic Charge and Bleed” page 120,
“Seed Monitor Console Installation” page 120,
“Seed Monitor Console Quick-Start” page 120,
“Level Planter” page 123,
“Wing Alignment” page 124,
“Speed Calibration” page 125, and
“Marker Extension” on page 125.
You may also need to install features, options and
accessories that were not factory- or dealer-installed.
Pre-Planting Setup
The balance of this section covers items that need to be
completed or checked prior to each field use of the
planter.
1. Read and understand “Important Safety
Information” on page 1.

are tight, and cotter pins are spread.
