For all other openers, refer to manufacturer’s directions for
connecting the seed hose.
4. Route the hose to the tower outlet. Allow just enough
slack for down flex of wings. Be sure to use outlet as
shown in Figure 1-21 and Figure 1-22.
5. Allow 2 1/4” of hose to extend past the edge of the tow-
er. Cut off hose as smoothly and squarely as possible
to allow a good fit in the tower.
6. Push the end of the hose into the port until it contacts
the stop, refer to Figure 1-23. This should require ap-
proximately 2 1/4” of hose.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for all 1” hoses on each tower.
8. When all hoses are installed on a tower, tighten the
bolts holding the halves together.
9. Check all hoses to be sure that they are not rubbing on
sharp edges and will not be damaged when the drill is
raised, lowered, folded, or unfolded. Re-route if nec-
essary to prevent damage.
NOTE: The tower bolts are equipped with nylock nuts
and should not be over-tightened. Tighten the bolts
only until the hose is held securely against being
blown out. Do not bend tower plates.
