Both return lines must be connected
to the tractor using the safety (Tema)
fittings supplied. This breakaway coupling
has a locking ring that should be engaged
when connected to prevent accidental
disconnection. (Fig. H5).
NOTE
: Severe damage can occur if a
return line is accidentally disconnected
while the hydraulic motor is operating.

Fitting the Seeder Hoses over the Implement
for RT Model Seeders
When fitting the implement’s hydraulic
hose kit some basic steps should be
followed.
1.
All hoses should be firmly fixed into
position on the implement using the
clamps supplied.
2.
Keep hoses clear of any sharp edges
or other obstructions that may cause
wear on the outside of the hose.
3.
Do not over bend or force hoses into
position. Allow enough length for the
hose to move if required.
For further details refer to the drawing
supplied with the implement hydraulic kit.
This drawing gives detailed information on
the fitting of the specific hose kit to your
implement.
Connecting the Seeder Hydraulics to the
Implement on Rear Tow Seeders
When connecting the air seeder to the
rear of the implement you will find that the
pressure line on the seeder has a plastic
sleeve fitted to the hose end, and has been
supplied with its Tema fitting reversed. This
will prevent the hoses from being connected
incorrectly once the implement hose kit has
been fitted.
Fig. H6 Implement Hitch with Tema couplings.
As per the tractor connection, the
couplings have a locking ring that must be
engaged
when
connected
to
prevent
accidental disconnection (Fig. H5).
Disconnecting the Hydraulic Hoses
It is advisable to drain a small amount
of oil from the hydraulic hoses when
disconnecting the seeder from the tractor.
