Frame Weight
The standard 3S-3000HD includes 1697 pounds (770kg)
of weight bars inside the main tool bar. This, plus the
extra weight of 00HD row units, permits adjustment of
the full range row unit down forces. If markers are
installed, additional force is available.
Although suitcase weight brackets are available for
earlier model 3S-3000 (non-HD) drills, these weight kits
are not recommended for 3S-3000HD drills.
Opener Frame Down-Force
Crushing Hazard: You will be seriously injured or killed if you
are caught between raising openers and drill frame. Always
stop tractor engine, set park brake, and remove key before
adjusting or servicing openers. Keep all bystanders well away
during drill operation.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard: Escaping fluid under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard
by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use
a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check
for suspected leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses
or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. If an acci-
dent occurs, see a doctor immediately.
