2. Position a tower on bracket and secure with 2 u-bolts.
The bottom of lower round plate should be approxi-
mately 31 1/2 inches above the frame rails. Tower
should be turned so that inlet tube is pointed toward
the center of the drill. The center tower inlet should
face the front, refer to Figure 2-15.
Primary 2 1/2” Distribution Hoses
1. Start with center tower #3. Route hose as shown in
Figure 2-17. Slide hose at least two inches onto tower
inlet. (Slide clamp over the end first)
2. Allow enough hose so that implement raising, lower-
ing, folding and unfolding will not pinch or bind hose.
3. Using a hacksaw cut hose so that it will slide onto
meter outlets up to end of flare.
4. Slide clamp over hose end then slide hose onto meter
outlet. Install clamp so that it will not interfere with oth-
er hoses, clamps, or meter door latch handles.
5. Repeat this procedure on towers #2 and #4. Cut these
two the same length but longer than the center hose.
6. Repeat the same procedures for towers #1 and #5.

These 2 hoses should also be the same length, (long-
er than the others.)
7. Secure all hoses to the frame using 24” cable ties be-
ing sure hose will not be damaged during drill opera-
tion.
1” Secondary Hoses
With the implement width and row spacing in mind refer to
the appropriate hose routing illustration for the correct as-
sembly of hoses.
1. Loosen bolts holding tower halves together, refer to
Figure 2-16.
Do not remove bolts.
NOTE: Seed hoses must be routed to prevent them
from rubbing on sharp edges or being damaged
when the implement is raised, lowered, folded, or un-
folded. Hoses must be pushed fully into distribution
tower ports until they contact their stop.
