Parking the Machine 

Thoroughly clean the seed  tank  and seed on 

demand system.  Corrosion to components is at 

higher risk when left uncleaned. 

Park the planter in a shed or under a roof so that 

no moisture can accumulate in the tank, 

metering unit or seed tubes.   

 

With negative hitch  load, the machine may tilt 

back and cause severe injury to persons.  Lower 

the machine correctly before unhitching!  The 

proper use of the stabilizing jacks on the front 

and rear of the machine will aide in a safe 

unhitching procedure!  

ATTENTION! 

CAT 3/4N Quick Hitch compatible.

1.  Always park the machine horizontally on 

firm ground.  Shut down the tractor. 

2.  Secure the machine  at the support 

wheels with wheel chocks against rolling 

away. 

3.  Unfold the machine. 

4.  Lower the seed toolbar (wings). 

5.  Relieve any  hydraulic pressure in the 

system.  

6.  Disconnect hydraulic and electrical 

connections.  Attach connections to the 

hydraulic hose holder and electrical plug 

holder located on the front toolbar. 

7.  Use the front and rear mounted jack 

stands to support the machine weight off 

the tractor rear three-point hitch. 

8.  Remove the hitch pins  to unhitch the 

machine. 

NOTE:  The machine may be parked and 

unhitched in a folded position, providing 

extra precaution is taken, but is not 

recommended!

Cleaning 

 

Always wear the required protective equipment 

when cleaning.  Harmful dusts or chemicals may

metering units. 

 

1.  Empty the seed tank. 

2.  Clean  the metering units, SOD system,  

and hoses.   

3.  Open the covers on the end of the toolbar 

(if equipped)  for the vacuum system.  

Use compressed air to thoroughly clean 

any seed and dressing residues.   

 

Storage (end of season) 

 

1.  Park the machine in an undisturbed area, 

out of the way of other equipment. 

2.  Follow procedures above for proper 

cleaning. 

3.  Follow procedures above for proper
