If moving the T-handle back does not cause the
opener to achieve the desired depth, lower the
coulters by lowering the frame height, and increase
weight transfer pressures if necessary.
If coulters are installed, set the coulter depth with the
tool bar height. Adjust the opener depth to be 13 mm
shallower.
If no coulters are installed, adjust the tool bar height
so the opener frame runs level at the desired seeding
depth.
Fertilizer Tube Adjustment
On a double-shoot drill, deeper dry fertilizer
placement may be achieved by rotating the fertilizer
tube (1) to face forward. This orientation is suggested
only if the seed firmer is a seed flap (2).
If a Seed-Lok™ firming wheel is present, fertilizer
falls on the firmer and may be scattered rather than
placed deeper.

Speed (Radar) Calibration
Refer to the DrillCommand User Guide for speed
calibration.

Tramline Motors (Option)
Before installing motors, close all
implement openers from your terminal.
This will make sure that tramlines are
formed uniformly.
Tramlines are controlled using the DrillCommand
software. In addition to the software, you must fit your
machine with tramline motors (1) that will shut off the
flow of seed to the desired openers.
To make changes to tramline patterns, locate the
desired opener numbers on the back of your
machine. Follow the seed hose to the corresponding
tower port. Attach a motor underneath each valve
needed for tramline. Secure each motor using the
four supplied bolts.
Remove any pre-existing motors from opener valves
(2) and install motors to valves necessary to create
the desired tramline patterns.

Parking
Follow these steps when parking the drill for periods
of less than 36 hours. For longer periods, see
“
Storage ” on page 68.
1. Park the drill on solid, level surface.
2. If the drill has air brakes:
a. Stop the engine and apply the parking brake.
b. Open the drain valve on the air reservoir and
drain any water. Close the drain valve.
c. Start the engine.
3. To reduce tongue weight, raise, fold, and lock the
implement (page 30).
Static tongue weight of a loaded, lowered,
and unhitched drill can be as much as
1500 kg.
4. Put the tractor in park, apply tractor parking
brake. Stop the engine and take the key with you.
5. If the drill is equipped with brakes, apply the
parking brake on the drill.
6. Check that hopper lids are latched, and secure
the hopper lids with security cable or padlock and
chain to prevent entry by children. See “
Hopper
Lid Closing ” on page 37.
