Hitching Tractor to Planter
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any part of your body between planter
and moving tractor. You may be severely injured or killed by
being crushed between the tractor and planter. Stop tractor
engine and set park brake before attaching cables and hoses.
Hydraulic Hose Hookup
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Use a piece of paper
or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, seek immediate
medical attention from a physician familiar with this type of
injury.
If Weight Transfer is Installed
If the optional weight transfer system is not installed, or a
PTO pump is installed, continue at “ Color Coded
Hydraulic Hoses ” on page 17.
The weight transfer cylinders must be free to flex during
all planter movements where the system is not in active
use.
To allow cylinder flex:
•
connect at least the fan case drain and fan return
lines to suitable receptacles (see page 17), or
•
install the shipping links (see page 156).
Machine Damage Risk:
Do not move the planter with a hydraulically locked weight
transfer system. Relieve the system or install shipping links.
If the cylinders are not free to flex, oil loss will result from even
minor movement flexing.
