Refer to Figure 2-3:
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need
weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine proper
weight requirements and maximum weight limitations.
1. Make certain park jack (#14) is properly attached to
jack mount (#20) and secured with detent pin (#13).
2. Adjust park jack as follows:
•
If seeder is resting on the ground, adjust park
jack (#14) to support mainframe (#19) level. Do not
adjust park jack to align clevis (#2) with tractor
drawbar. Clevis height will be adjusted later in
step 7.
•
If seeder was unhooked while raised off the
ground, do not adjust park jack (#14) to align clevis
(#2) with tractor drawbar. Clevis height will be
adjusted later in step 7.
3. Store tractor’s upper center 3-point link in its storage
hook.
4. Start tractor and raise 3-point lift arms fully up.
IMPORTANT:
Detent pin (#13) must be fully inserted
and secured before working on or around a seeder
that is not hooked to the tractor drawbar.
IMPORTANT: (Drawbar to Clevis Height)
If clevis (#2) does not align properly with tractor
drawbar during hook-up, the clevis height must be
adjusted in hitch channel (#16). Do not adjust clevis
height with park jack (#14). Using park jack to adjust
clevis height can cause hydraulic lift cylinders to not
function properly in the field.
5. Carefully back tractor within close proximity of
clevis (#2).
6. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 21.
7. Hold clevis (#2) level. If tractor drawbar is higher or
lower than clevis, adjust clevis in hitch channel (#16).
a. Remove nylock nut (#17) and bolt (#18).
b. Move clevis (#2) up or down until clevis (#2) is up
one hole above tractor drawbar height.
c. Attach clevis (#2) to clevis hitch channel (#16)
with existing 1"-8 x 6" GR5 bolt (#18) and nylock
nut (#17). Draw nylock nut up snug. Do not
tighten.
8. Rotate clevis (#2) level and insert wire retaining
pin (#7) as follows:
•
If hydraulic lift cylinder (#8) is retracted as
shown, insert wire retaining pin (#7) in one of
the holes on the right side of clevis (#2).
•
If hydraulic lift cylinder (#8) is fully extended
insert wire retaining pin (#7) in one of the holes
on the left side of clevis (#2).
9. Start tractor and continue to back tractor toward the
seeder until hole in tractor drawbar and holes in
seeder clevis hitch (#2) are aligned.
10. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting.
11. Attach seeder to tractor drawbar by inserting
customer supplied hitch pin (#6) through upper plate
of clevis (#2), two upper washers (#1), tractor
drawbar, as many lower washers (#1) as possible,
and lower plate of clevis (#2). Secure hitch pin with
customer supplied hitch pin keeper (#5).
NOTE:
Hitch pin (#6) and keeper (#5) are customer
supplied. The number of flat washers (#1) required
will depend on tractor drawbar thickness. Not using
flat washers can cause increased drawbar wear.
