Loading Hopper with Seed
Refer to Figure 38
17. At the top of the hopper, release the lid latch(es)
.
and open the lid(s):
18. Check that the strainer basket is clean and in
place.
Do not operate without a strainer:
It is an important safety feature that prevents accidental entry
into the hopper. It also prevents larger foreign matter from
clogging the air system.
19. Inspect the hopper itself to ensure that it contains
only expected material.
Refer to Figure 39
If using an auger to load seed, access to the top of the
hopper is eased by swinging down the top section of the
center walkboard railing.
20. At each end of the swing-down section, pull the
cross pins inward until the pins clear the holes .
Swing the railing section in or out (it is easier to close
if swung in).
Using Auxiliary Hydraulic Circuit
The optional auxiliary hydraulic kit includes a manual
valve that diverts the marker hydraulic circuit to a pair of
quick-connect ports at the back of the seed cart.
Refer to Figure 40
A. Extend or fold any marker that is raised. Return the
cab control for that circuit to “off”.
B. Close any shut-off valve on your auger, and connect
the auger to the auxiliary quick-connect ports at the
back of the seed cart.
C. At the auxiliary selector valve (near marker
sequence valve on left wing), move the handle from
“Marker” to “Auxiliary”.
D. With no seed present, open the auger shutoff valve,
and operate the cab control to determine which
setting (“extend” or “retract”) turns the auger in the
correct direction for seed lift.
