Install Primary Seed Hoses
Primary seed hose is 2 1 ⁄
2
inches (6.4cm) in diameter and
is delivered in 100-foot (30m) rolls:
990-125R SEED HOSE 2 1/2 ID KANAFLEX
Cut primary hoses to connect each meter-box outlet on
the cart with a distribution tower on the implement.
Refer to Figure 39 and Figure 40
61. From 1 to 4 (NTA3010) or to 5 (NTA3510), number
the open ports at the back of the meter from left to
right, skipping any capped meter ports.
Note: Do not move caps. Meter shaft under a cap has
fillers, not flutes, and cannot meter material.
Start with Tower 3.
62. Measure the expected hose length and mark
hose with grease pencil or tape.
63. Route hoses over implement frame as shown in
Figure 37 (NTA3010) or
Figure 38 (NTA3510) on page 28.
Run hoses under fold cylinders, under top frame
tubes, above lower frame tubes, and through hose
holders along the routing.
Note: Do not run hoses above top tubes, or the hoses
may be too short, and they will interfere with any lat-
er weight installation.
Refer to Figure 39
64. Select one:
800-180C 2 1/2 AIR HOSE BAND CLAMP
Slide band clamp over implement end of
hose , then slide hose at least two inches onto
tower inlet . Allow enough hose slack so that
implement raising, lowering, folding and unfolding
will not pinch or bind hose.
65. Using a hacksaw, cut hose so it slides at least two
inches onto meter outlet.
66. Select one:
800-180C 2 1/2 AIR HOSE BAND CLAMP
Slide band clamp over cart end of hose, then
slide hose onto meter outlet. Install clamp so it does
not interfere with other hoses, clamps, doors or
meter-door handles.
67. Repeat step 62 through step 66 for Towers 2, 4, 1
and 5.
68. Secure all hoses onto the frame using the provided
cable ties. Be sure hoses will not be damaged by
folding, unfolding, raising, lowering any later weight
installation.
IMPORTANT !
Do not cut hose until routed over implement. Lengths
in table are approximate. Actual lengths may vary
from implement to implement.
IMPORTANT !
Connect each tower to its corresponding outlet on the
cart. For example, connect the second tower from the
left to the second meter outlet from the left. For exam-
ple, for NTA3010 and ADC2220, do not connect a
seed hose to the center meter outlet.
