Rear Auxiliary Hydraulics (Option)
Flailing Equipment Hazard
Do not switch the auxiliary selector valve until
the tractor fold/marker circuit is set to “Neutral”
or “Off” or unexpected movement of the
marker or wings may occur causing machine
damage, serious injuries, and even death.
Flailing Hazard
Marker hydraulics are active whenever the fold
hydraulics are not in use. It is important to set
the tractor fold/marker hydraulic circuit lever to
“Float” or “Neutral” to prevent unintended
marker operations. Unexpected marker operation
and flailing equipment can serious injures
including death.
The optional auxiliary hydraulic kit includes a manual
valve that diverts the marker/fold hydraulic circuit to a
pair of quick-connect ports at the back of the planter.
1. If equipped, fully fold markers.
1. Set tractor fold/marker circuit lever to “Off”.
2. Close any shut-off valve on the auger and
connect the auger to the auxiliary quick-connect
ports at the rear of the planter.
3. At the auxiliary selector valve, move the handle
from Fold to Auxiliary.
4. With no seed present, open the auger shutoff
valve, and operate the cab control to determine
which setting (extend or retract) turns the auger
in the correct direction for seed lift.
5. Load the seed.
6. Set the tractor circuit to “Off”, and then turn the
auger off.
7. Return the auxiliary selector valve handle to
“Marker”.
8. Disconnect the auger hydraulic hoses at the
auxiliary ports.

Material Loading
Agricultural Chemical Hazard
Read and follow all supplier cautions for safe
handling of treated seed.
Irritant Exposure Hazard
Do not mix lubricants into seed with hands or
any part of body. Wear protective equipment. Use
tools.
Bulk Seed Hoppers
Entrapment and Suffocation Hazard
A seed hopper that is full, or appears full, can
be an entrapment hazard. You can sink all the
way into the grain and suffocate in a matter of
seconds. Never enter a seed hopper for
loading, unloading, or routine maintenance.
Keep lid tightly closed during operation.
Seed is loaded into the bulk seed hoppers from
above.
1. Lift the handle (1).
2. Swing the handle out until the hook (2) releases
from the u-bolt latch (3).
3. Move the hook clear of the latch.
4. Lift lid slightly at the pivot end to clear the strainer
(4).
5. Swing lid away from the opening.
6. Inspect the hopper to verify it contains only the
expected material.
7. Load the seed.
8. If equipped, verify the bulk hopper level sensor is
connected to the console harness.
9. Close and latch lid(s).
a. Swing lid over opening until the hook is
centered on the u-bolt latch.
b. Open the handle and engage the hook on the
latch.
c. Close the handle.
Row Hoppers
Two different sizes of row hoppers are available - 3.0
bushel and 1.6 bushel. The process for loading both
hoppers are the same.
1. Check that each hopper is correctly seated and
mounting bolts are secured. Ensure the hopper
discharge opening is aligned with the seed inlet
tube.
2. Clean out any leftover seed and debris in the
hopper.
