Parking
Follow these steps when parking the drill for periods of
less than 36 hours. For longer periods, see Storage, the
next topic.
1. Position the drill on firm, level ground.
2. To reduce tongue weight, raise, fold and lock imple-
ment (page 35 and page 30).
Note: Static tongue weight of a loaded, lowered, and
unhitched drill can be as much as 1500 kg
(3300 pounds).
3. Check that hopper lids are latched, and secure the
hopper lids with security cable or padlock and chain
to prevent entry by children. See “Lid Closing” on
page 44.
4. Remove jack from storage position and pin securely
to lifting stob on outside of drill tongue. See “Hitch-
ing Tractor to Air Drill” on page 22.
5. If ground is soft, place a wide block or plate under
the jack to increase contact area.
6. Securely block drill tires to prevent jack from digging
or sliding off plate.
7. If drill is equipped with optional brakes, set the park-
ing brake handle on each side of the drill.
For dual line air brakes, disconnect the red (control)
gladhand connector first, at the tractor, then the blue
supply connector, and store each connector in its
matching color-coded gladhand holder on the drill.
8. Unhook electrical lines and protect with any plugs or
caps provided.
9. Release pressure on hydraulic system, then discon-
nect hydraulic lines and pull all lines back onto drill
tongue. Store hoses ends in keyholes of hose holder
bracket. Largest hole is reserved for sump line.
10. Disconnect hydraulic brake line (option).
11. Disconnect the safety chain.
12. Unhitch from tractor or leading implement.
