General Startup Points
IMPORTANT: Do not put the selective control valve
(SCV) lever in the float position when raising
and lowering the machine. Correct procedure
for raising and lowering the machine is to
power up or down completely.
1. To prevent plugging of the seed tubes or the seed
openers, Do not back up with the machine lowered.
For proper machine operation, it is important that the
machine frame is lowered fully into the correct planting
position. Achieving this position can be difficult with
some attachment combinations, especially when
planting in hard to penetrate soil conditions. If this
situation is encountered, the following action is
warranted:
Reduce the attachment downforce levels. Avoid using
more attachment downforce than required.
Use recommended size tractor. (See Tractor
Requirements.)
2. Verify that the tractor and the planter have been
properly prepared.
3. Check the seed rates carefully.
4. Check the tire pressure before seeding.
5. Allow the tractor hydraulic oil to warm up thoroughly
before seeding.
6. Use clean seed for the best results.
7. Use detailed information about your planter
attachments for the function and operation.
Hydraulic Motor Operation
Connect hoses correctly.
To engage hydraulic motors, move the selective control
valve (SCV) lever forward (retract function) and engage
the detent.
Avoid motor damage from pressure spikes in the hydraulic
system. Move the SCV lever forward into "Float" position,
not into “Neutral” position, to shut off hydraulic motors.
Once the hydraulic motors come to a stop, the SCV lever
can be returned to “Neutral” position.
Support The Machine Before Service
CAUTION: Avoid crushing injury or death
from falling machine. Ensure service locks
are installed on all cylinders and machine
is supported on blocks before performing
any service or adjustments.
1. Raise the machine.
2. Place the support blocks under the gauge wheels.
3. Install the service locks on all of the lift cylinders.
4. Lower the machine onto the support blocks
5. Shift the tractor to “Park” and set the parking brake.
