Parking the Machine
Thoroughly clean the tanks and fertilizer
equipment. Corrosion to components is at
higher risk when left uncleaned.
Park the drill in a shed or under a roof so that no
moisture can accumulate in the tanks, metering
unit or seed tubes.
With negative drawbar load, the machine may tilt
back and cause severe injury to persons. Lower
the machine correctly before unhitching!
Parking
1. Always park the machine horizontally on
firm ground. Shut down the tractor.
2. Secure the machine with wheel chocks
against rolling away.
3. Unfold the machine.
4. Lower the seed toolbar.
5. Disconnect hydraulic and electrical
connections. Attach to the hydraulic
hose holder and electrical plug holder
located on the front hitch.
6. Use the front mounted lift jack to raise the
machine weight off the tractor rear
drawbar slightly.
7. Remove the hitch pin to unhitch the
machine.
NOTE: The machine may be parked and
unhitched in a folded position, providing
extra precaution is taken, but is not
recommended.
Cleaning
Always wear the required protective equipment
when cleaning. Harmful dusts or chemicals may
have deposited in the area of pneumatics and
hydraulics of the machine, along with the
metering units.
1. Empty the tanks.
2. Clean metering units, SOD system,
hoses and liquid fertilizer system.
3. Open the covers on the end of the toolbar
for the vacuum system. Use compressed
air to thoroughly clean any seed and
dressing residues.
