Preparation and Setup

This section helps you prepare your tractor and
YP3025A Planter for use, and covers tasks that need to
be done seasonally, or when the tractor/planter configu-
ration changes.

Before using the planter in the field, you must hitch it to a
suitable tractor, inspect systems and level the planter.
Before using the planter for the first time, and periodically
thereafter, certain adjustments and calibrations are
required.

Initial Setup

delivery items (normally completed by dealer), and first-
time/infrequent setup tasks, including:

• Install seed monitor console in tractor (page 165).

Post-Delivery/Seasonal Setup

On initial delivery, use with a new tractor, and seasonally,
check and as necessary, complete these items before
continuing to the routine setup items:

• Bleed hydraulic system (page 102).
