Dismount Some Opener Rack Items
Refer to Figure 25
Unless they obstruct access to parts needed sooner,
leave the openers on the shipping rack until you transfer
them to main frames beginning at step 103 on page 29.
Other components need to be dismounted from the rack
sooner, because they do not necessarily come off in the
order needed for planter installation.
Clear Rack Floor
24. Remove loose items from opener tops and rack
floor.
If any items have serial number tags, place them
with other items intended for installation on the
planter having that same serial number.
Dismount Lift-Assist Mounts
If the planter model is pull-type or 3-point, continue at
“Dismount Pull-Type Tongue” on page 17.
Start with the top mount weldment on the rack. Note that
the second (middle) mount is shipped upside-down, and
requires a different hoist attachment.
Refer to Figure 26
25. Attach two hoist lines on the mount to be
dismounted. For the first (top) and third (bottom)
mount, use line through the holes
.
For the middle (upside-down) mount, use one line
through the forward hole
, and one line around the
tube at the rear. Secure the line so that it cannot
slip forward during lift.
Be sure to run the lines so that they do not get
entangled with the lift-assist casters.
26. Use the hoist to support some of the weight of the
mount to be removed. Loosen the nuts at the front
rack plate
and the rear rack lug .
27. Use the hoist to support enough of the mount
weight to allow easy removal of the shipping nuts,
lock washers and bolts. These fasteners are not
re-used. Leave the U-bolts on the mount for later
installation.
28. Move the released mount to a planter staging area.
29. Repeat step 25 through step 28 for each lift-assist
mount.
