12. Remove wire retaining pin (#7) and store in pin hole 

furtherest from clevis (#2) or with the tractor.

13. Attach hitch safety chain (#12) to the tractor. Adjust 

chain length to remove all slack except what is 

necessary to permit turning. Lock chain hook

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin 

and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves 

and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic 

systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands 

when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of 

injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene 

may result. DO NOT DELAY.

14. Connect hydraulic hoses (#10 & #11) to the tractor 

duplex outlet with factory float. Factory float must be 

used while seeding seeds.

15. Hook-up lead wire harness (#4) to the tractor’s 7-way 

round pin receiver. See Figure 1-1 on page 13.

16.

Refer to

 

Figure 2-6 on page 26:

 Remove slow 

moving vehicle sign from the mounting socket on the 

back of the tractor and insert it in the mounting 

socket (#5) on the back of the seedbox. 

Store Park Jack Before Traveling

Figure 2-4

Store Park Jack

Refer to Figure 2-3 on page 24:

1. Lower park jack (#14) until the hitch weight is 

supported by the tractor drawbar. 

2. Remove detent pin (#13) and park jack (#14).

IMPORTANT: 

Attach hydraulic hoses (#9 & #11) only 

to tractor hydraulics with float capabilities. Factory 

float must be used while seeding seeds or the unit 

can be damaged.

39058

IMPORTANT: 

Remove park jack (#14) from the hitch 

to protect it from damage caused by dragging the 

jack or turning the tractor tire into the jack.

Refer to Figure 2-4:

3. Attach park jack (#14) to storage mount (#15) on the 

seeder main frame with detent pin (#13).

4. If seeder was stored raised fully up, the transport 

locks should be installed on all hydraulic lift cylinders. 

If transport locks are not installed, they should be 

installed before transporting the seeder. Refer to 

“Install Transport Locks & Spacers” 

on page 26.

5. Check LED lights to verify they are operating 

correctly. Refer to 

“Check LED Lights” 

on page 23.

1. Clean seedboxes, seed cups, and drop tubes before 

unhooking seeder. Refer to 

“Long-Term Storage” 

on page 63.

2. Park tractor and seeder on level, solid ground. 

Preferably store seeder inside a shed to keep 

moisture away from the seedboxes.

3. Lower seeder down until it is resting on the front and 

rear rollers or raise seeder up and install transport 

locks. For detailed instructions. See 

“Install 

Transport Locks & Spacers” 

on page 26.

4. Place tractor in park or set its park brake, shut tractor 

engine off, and move hydraulic control lever back and 

forth several times to release all hydraulic pressure. 

Remove switch key before dismounting.

5. Place chocks in front and in back of the rear tires.
6. Attach park jack (#14) to jack mount (#20) with detent 

pin (#13). If seeder is unhooked with rollers resting 

on the ground, fully insert detent pin horizontally as 

shown. If seeder is unhooked raised fully up, fully 

insert detent pin vertically.

7. Disconnect lead wire harness (#4) from the tractor. 

Coil harness up and store on the seeder frame with 

plug end hanging down to keep moisture out.

8. Disconnect hydraulic hoses (#10 & #11) from the 

tractor duplex outlet and store quick disconnect 

couplers and hoses on the seeder frame.

washers (#1). Be careful not to lose washers and 

hitch pin keeper.

10. Start tractor and drive forward several feet. 
11. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer 

to 

“Tractor Shutdown Procedure” 

on page 21.

12. Replace hitch pin (#6) and flat washers (#1) in 

seeder clevis hitch. Secure them in place with hitch
