lower the toolbar. (See “Raising And Lowering The
Toolbar” on page 53.)
Place all controls in neutral, engage the park brake, stop
the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Leave
the operator’s position.
Verify that the coulters, injectors or knives are
approximately 2” to 3” below the soil surface.
