Planter Assembly
Press Wheel Shipping
Refer to Figure 28
Depending on machine configuration, two or more press
wheel assemblies
may have been shipped
dismounted. If only two were dismounted, they will have
been shipped bolted to the rear corners of the main
frame
. If none or all were dismounted, skip to step 24.
22. Remove the bolt, nut, and any washers that
secure the press wheel assemblies to the main
frame. These fasteners are not reused.
23. Set the press wheel assemblies aside. They are
installed at step 102. Leaving them off now eases
access to this part of the planter.
Shipping Stands
As delivered from the factory, the planter includes:
• 2 parking stands intended to remain on the planter
(front tool bar just inboard of wing joints)
Refer to Figure 29 (which depicts an earlier 3PYP parallel
arm configuration - the shipping stand has not changed)
• 1 main frame shipping stand
that is removed after
assembly, but needs to remain with the customer, as it
eases changing caster tires
• 4 seed frame shipping stands that are not needed
after final assembly.
• Do not remove any of these stands until instructed.
During assembly, let the planter main frame rest on the
two parking stands on front of the tool bar and the
shipping stand under the rear tube of the frame. Do not
let any of the supports sink into the ground.
