Hitching Cart to Implement
There are two main methods of bringing the cart arms
into alignment with the quick hitches installed on the
implement (planter or drill):
A. Hitch the implement to a tractor, and carefully back
the implement up to the cart. These instructions pre-
sume the use of this approach.
B. Lift the cart from behind with a forklift (forks under
frame), and move it into alignment with implement.
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any body part between cart and moving
implement. You may be severely injured or killed by being
crushed between the cart arm and implement. Stop tractor
engine and set parking brake before securing quick hitches.

Shims
Refer to Figure 6
Four shims are supplied with each model of cart. The
shims fit between the cart hitch and the implement. It is
recommended to use two shims
on each right and left
quick hitch.
Removing one shim will result in a
1 ⁄

in move of the cast-
ers in the direction of the side the shim was removed
from.
Moving one of the shims from its present position and
inserting it on the opposite side results in the casters
trailing one inch in the direction of the side the shim was
originally removed from.
