Maintenance Lift Lock
Locks, including gauge wheel cylinder locks, are
provided to hold all implement sections at raised for
maintenance, and for raised unfolded storage. The
gauge wheel lock channels are not used in routine
operations (field or transport).
Before engaging the maintenance lift lock, unfold the
implement.
1. Raise the unfolded implement.
2. Install the gauge wheel lock channels. Remove
the channels (1) from the wing lugs (2) and pin to
the cylinder rods (3).
3. With the implement still fully raised, begin folding
(page 28) just long enough for the center lock
cylinder (4) to extend and engage the center lock
lug (5).
4. Lower the implement.
Maintenance Lift Unlock
1. Raise the implement.
2. Remove the gauge wheel lock channels. Return
them to storage.

disengage the center lock.
To fold, leave the center lock engaged, and fold

Hopper/Meter Maintenance
Hopper Straps
On a new drill, as the hopper seat, check the hopper
straps frequently. Periodic inspection is further
required due to continued hopper seating and strap
stretching.
Check the hopper strap tension before and after
filling a hopper, and at the end of each day.
Seasonally inspect the straps for wear and damage.
Replace any that are frayed or torn.
Tighten the nuts on the tensioning bolts (1) until the
straps cannot slide side to side on the hopper face
(2). Then tighten the nuts two additional turns.
