10. Carefully set the rack section on the floor or ground.
Note: In some upper rack sections, planter components
extend below the post bases. When set down, one
side of these sections rests on the planter opener
disks (this is the case for the figure at right).
When unfastening the planter from the rack at
step 20 on page 15, it is necessary to support the
elevated side of the rack. In Figure 14 (page 12) a
forklift was used. In Figure 16 at right a hoist
chain
is used. Stands or blocks could also be
used.
11. If one side of the rack is elevated, support that side
with a hoist, lift or other supports.
Crushing Hazard:
Support a rack frame prior to unfastening. Removing bolts on
a rack that is not supported will result it falling to the ground.
This could result in serious injury or death. It is also likely to
seriously damage the planter.
Null4:
Unfasten Mainframe
12. Identify all the locations at which the mainframe is
attached to the rack.
This includes at least one of the following places:
2. 2-Point hitch pins (Figure 18)
b. Gauge wheel arms (Figure 19)
c. Front tool bar U-bolts (Figure 20, page 14)
d. Front tool bar clamp plates (Figure 21, page 14)
This always includes:
e. Rear tool bar ends (Figure 23, page 15)
13. Loosen all nuts on bolts at these locations. Do not
remove the bolts until instructed.
Release Hitch Pins
Refer to Figure 18
If the planter is pull-type, or if the hitch pins do not secure
the mainframe to the rack
, continue at step 15 on
page 14.
14. Remove and save two sets:
805-105C PIN COTTER 1/4 X 2 1/2 PLT
805-168C PIN HITCH 1 7/16 X 8 3/8 PLT

Equipment Damage Risk:
Unfasten the rear tool bar end bolts LAST. The other bolts and
pins are incapable of supporting the full weight of the
mainframe. Removing the tool bar end bolts early could result
in planter damage.
