The proper reading for the magnehelic air pressure gauge is
12 to 25 inches of water. A sudden drop in pressure is a sign of
a possible leak which can negatively affect seeding.
Final Field Checklist
Planting Sequence
1. Lower drill 5 to 10 feet before initial seeding point.
2. Pull forward and begin planting.
3. Raise drill for turns (meters stop automatically).
Planting
Be aware of the 5 to 10 feet of drill-lowered operating
distance required for seed to reach the row units.
If you stop in the middle of a pass, raise the drill and back
up 10 feet before resumption of seeding.
Parking
Follow these steps when parking the drill for periods of
less than 36 hours. For longer periods, see Storage, the
next topic.
1. Place the cart on firm, level ground.
2. 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 33.
3. ADC2350/E only: Remove jack from storage position
and pin securely to lifting stob on outside of cart
tongue. See “Hitching” on page 20.
4. ADC2350/E only: If ground is soft place a wide block
or plate under the jack to increase contact area.
5. Securely block cart tires to prevent rolling.
6. ADC2350/E only: Extend jack until weight is off of
the tractor drawbar.
7. Unhook electrical lines and install plugs as provided.
8. Release pressure on hydraulic system, then
disconnect hydraulic lines and pull all lines back onto
cart tongue. Be sure hose ends do not rest on the
ground.
9. Disconnect the safety chain.
10. Unhitch from tractor or leading implement.

❑ Set fan to speed suitable for seed. Watch fan at
start-up to ensure correct direction of rotation.
❑ Run fan for at least 15 minutes before planting.
❑ Check air pressure gauge for 12 to 25 inches of
water pressure.
❑ Check all seed hoses secure.
❑ Check for air leaks at lids and meter box seals.
