Transporting
!
CAUTION
When traveling on public roads whether at night or during the
day, use accessory light and devices for adequate warning to
operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state, and
local laws.
1.
It is best to transport on the road with an empty box
unless necessary as the increased seed weight will
increase the chances for road problems.
2.
When transporting with a Pull Hitch, be sure to follow
guide lines under “Pull Hitch Operating
Instructions” on page 17.
3.
Select a safe ground speed when transporting from
one site to another. Never exceed 20 miles per hour
travel speed. When traveling on roadways, transport
in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass
you safely.
4.
Reduce tractor ground speed when turning and allow
enough room to keep the seeder from contacting
obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
5.
Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over
rough or hilly terrain.

Filling the Seed Box
!
CAUTION
Always lower the Primary Seeder to the ground before filling
and checking seed level in the seed box. This will keep the
rollers from turning while working around them.
1.
Always lower the Primary Seeder to the ground,
engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off,
and remove key before filling the seed box.
2.
Release lid latch and open seed box lid until over
center latch arms have locked in place. Doing this will
keep the lid from falling while filling the box.
3.
Fill seed box from the rear while standing on the
ground. Do not step or climb on the rear roller to fill
the seed box. Make sure the rear roller is on the
ground so it cannot turn while filling the box.
4.
The bag opener (sharp point on top of baffle plate
located inside the seed box) can be used to tear
open the seed bags.
5.
Maker certain the seed box is filled uniformly to
insure one side dose not run out of product ahead of
the other side.
6.
Close lid by pulling on the handle of the over center
latch arms with one hand while holding the lid up with
the other hand. Lower lid gently while keeping hands
and fingers clear.
7.
Lock lid down with lid latch to keep moisture out.
Packing Rollers
Refer to Figure 3-5:
The front and rear packing rollers should turn freely. If
they do not, investigate and remove the cause.
The rear roller assembly should be free to float up and
down to follow the field terrain. Remove rear roller lock
pin from park position and place in field position as
shown to free up the roller’s floating capabilities.
