arm weldments.
8. Lower support (jack), swinging the arm down until
each shipping tire rests on the ground.

frame. Use extra workers or provide support lines for
the arms. Remove the lower shipping bolts
.

truck driver, or hold for later return to Great Plains.

On dry fertilizer models 1625AHD, the shipping wheels

temporary mount weldment , horizontally under the
fertilizer cart. The mount is bolted to holes in the right
side of the cart frame.

a pallet jack or other low-profile lifter. The drive
assembly weighs 152 kg (335 pounds).

secure the drive to the mount, or the mount to the
frame. With the weight of the mount supported by,
remove the remaining four fastener sets.

save any U-bolts at its own mount. Bring its mount
up under the right side of the cart axle
, just
inboard of the right arch frame.
