Used with:
• 2006- Yield Pro ® 1225/1625
General Information
These instructions explain how to install the Ground
Drive Fertilizer Pump enhancement kit on a planter
which already has a fertilizer pump coupled to the meter
drive system. Installing this kit eliminates the need to
adjust the pump whenever seed rates are changed.
This kit is not needed for 2007+ planters, as their
optional fertilizer systems already include these compo-
nents. This kit requires a pre-existing fertilizer system,
and re-uses many existing system components.
These instructions apply to:
Before You Start
Each kit converts an entire planter. Inventory the con-
tents per “New Parts: Kit 407-148A” on page 7.
Review these instructions, and make sure you under-
stand which existing system components are re-used,
and where they are located. The new components, and
the existing components to be re-used or discarded, are
located on the back of the left wing of the planter, about
halfway out on the toolbar.
Tools Required
• pipe sealant such as RECTORSEAL® NO. 21
• basic hand tools
• a second or third person for Step 28
Notations and Conventions
