Appendix C - Accessory Installation
Side Dress Installation
Side Dress accessory kits provide a left wing extension
to support an additional (17th) forward single coulter and
forward boom drop line. The kit is user-installed, and
conversion between pre-emergence and side dress
modes requires user re-configuration of the implement.
See page 99 for ordering information. Side dress is
compatible only with 30-inch implements.
Installing / Changing to Side Dress
For reverting to pre-emergence, continue at page 118.
Resources required:
• Tractor for unfold and lift/lower operations
• one fertilizer orifice plate, sized to rate intended
(kit includes sizes 28, 34 and 48)
• three dozen cable ties
• all-purpose grease and grease gun
• basic hand tools
