Rack Unloading
A single planter’s components are provided on two racks
plus one or more pallets. Each shipping container may
hold up to three planters, and four racks. Mainframe
racks are stacked up to three high.
Racks with floor panels are designed to tolerate some
amount of sliding on paved surfaces. Avoid pushing or
dragging on irregular surfaces, as the floor panels may
tear loose.
1. Remove the racks and pallets from the container.
Position them clear of the assembly area.
About the Mainframe Rack
Refer to Figure 6
The mainframe rack stack contains:
• one to three planter mainframes, partially-assembled
• one to three air system manifolds
• ground drive arms (if dismounted)
• tires, press wheels, coulters, hoppers, row cleaners
and cartons with numerous small parts and
accessories such as meter discs
Mainframe Serial Number
Refer to Figure 7
2.
Take note of each planter’s model number and
serial number, located on the rear face of the main
tool bar tube, at the right side of the planter, for
example:
Model # YP925TD0965
* GP - C1001E *
This number must match the manifest, invoice or order
for this shipment. Other components in the container
may be marked or tagged with the last six characters of
the serial number, for example:
C1001E
Those components are intended for installation on the
planter with serial number GP-C1001E.
Designate Staging Areas
3.
Set up a staging area for each serial number. As
parts are unloaded and dismounted, put all parts for
the same plater in the same staging area. Distribute
parts without serial numbers equally to each staging
area.

Forklift Tipping Hazard:
Use lifters rated for the loads (see page 8). Overloading a
lifter could cause in a tipping accident resulting in serious
injury or death. Loaded racks exceed the capacity of most
small forklifts. The opener racks in particular are quite heavy
for their size, even after loose floor components are removed.
Hoisting: Equipment Damage Risk:
Hoist From Bottom Rack Only. Refer to Figure 6. Use
adequately-rated lines around corner posts of the bottom rack
section, below the end cross-tube. Lifting the entire stack at
higher rack sections, or by lines to planters, may result in rack
failure or planter damage.
