Before You Start
Review these instructions, with the following objectives at
each step:
• Inventory: examine any called-for sub-assemblies
and make sure all parts are present.
• Inventory: Select any called-for individual parts
and group them according to steps.
• Comprehension: make sure you understand
where each part or assembly is installed, and
what tools are required for the task.
Pre-Assembly Preparation
Work Location
1. Move the planter to a location with:
• ample clearance for folding and unfolding,
• ample clearance for the hoist or lift,
• protected from wind,
• adequate illumination, and;
• a clean surface for easily recovering any dropped
parts.
Prepare Planter
2. Hitch the planter to a suitable tractor per the instruc-
tions in the Operator Manual. Folding, unfolding,
raising, lowering, and simulated field operations are
necessary during this installation.
3. Secure the planter per the Parking instructions in the
Operator Manual (401-226M). Put the tractor in Park
and set the parking brake.
4. To provide convenient access to mount points,
remove any seed box or seed hopper
*
present.
Empty any hopper before removal.
* The fertilizer tanks are incompatible with the 150bu
hopper. Their mounting brackets use the same mount
points as 150bu hardware. If that was the seed con-
tainer in use, it must be replaced by an 82bu hopper or
bulk seed boxes. Remove the empty hopper and all
frame hardware at tool bars.
