Ridge Planting
To prepare the planter for ridge planting, you must lower
the gauge wheels by inverting the cylinder mounting
blocks.
To invert, refer to Figure 1-4.
1. Block up the frame to remove weight from tires.
2. Remove the four 5/8-inch cap screws.
3. Invert mounting blocks and re-install cap screws.

Liquid Fertilizer Option
The pump should always be mounted even with or lower
than the fertilizer tank.
Hose arrangement is important for efficient pump opera-
tion. If you will be using fewer hoses than there are on the
pump, remove pump hoses from near the center of the in-
take manifold (1) and cap the intake ports (2).
