Lateral adjustment is maintained by tire pressure. Check tires are inflated to specification.
Front and rear level adjustment is maintained by hitch clevis position unless tractor drawbar is adjustable for height.
Planter frame and row unit parallel arms must be level for proper planter and row unit operation. Bottom of toolbar
should be 20" to 22" (50.8 to 56.88 cm) from planting surface.

3. Align clevis to hitch holes at new location and install hex head cap screw and lock nut. Tighten lock nut until
threads are fully engaged and hex head cap screw and lock nut are firmly against hitch bracket.
