PREPARATION AND SETUP
DR12x2 Row Hopper Planter OM-EN
4-3
Preparing the Toolbar
1. Read and understand the operator’s manual for all
tooling options used in conjunction with the DR12x2
Row Hopper Planter.
2. Make sure that all decals are in good, clean, and
legible condition. Make sure each decal is correctly
placed according to the safety section of this
operator’s manual. See “Safety Decals” on
page 2-10 for more information.
3. Make sure that the hydraulic system of the tractor is
in working order. Orthman DR12x2 Row Hopper
Planter hydraulic systems are designed for a 3000
psi (207 bar) system.
4. Make sure that the hydraulic tips and outlets are free
of foreign material. Foreign material can ruin
hydraulic components, which results in adverse
toolbar operation. See “Prevent Hydraulic System
Contamination” on page 4-2.
5. Be sure toolbar float link and lock pins are in the
proper position. Pin position for toolbar transport
differs from recommended pin position for field use.
See “Toolbar Float” on page 5-2.
DANGER
!
Avoid rollover. Failure to follow this information will
result in death or serious injury. Stacking one wing at a
time causes the center of gravity to shift. This results in
rocking and unbalanced equipment. Use extreme
caution when you move unbalanced equipment, as the
tractor and implement are more likely to tip.
6. Before folding the toolbar, review “Wing Fold” on
7. Be sure to lubricate all grease points on machine.
See “Lubrication” on page 7-4.
DANGER
!
Avoid high-pressure fluid hazards. Failure to follow this
information will result in death or serious injury. Relieve
hydraulic pressure before servicing or disconnecting
hoses.
8. Relieve hydraulic system pressure before connecting
or disconnecting the tractor. Attach hydraulic hoses
to the tractor according to the operator preferences.
9. Before each use, check all hardware for wear and
the proper torque. Replace missing hardware with
hardware of an identical grade in order to restore the
implement to original specifications.
