TRACTOR PREPARATION AND HOOKUP

1. Set tractor rear wheel spacing at double the planter row spacing. For example: On a planter set for 36" rows, set

the tractor wheel spacing at 72" center-to-center. On wide front end tractors set front wheel spacing equal to rear
wheel spacing. Check tractor operator’s manual for correct front and rear tire pressure.

2. Adjust lift links on tractor so planter will lift level from side to side and raise high enough for planter transport

clearance. Set the sway blocks on the tractor in position to prevent side sway. Be sure the individual lift link arms
are in the float position.

3. Back tractor up to planter. Position lower hitch pins and

bushings as shown in the following diagrams for your type
of tractor hitch. Line up holes and insert hitch pins and lock
in place with pins provided. It may be necessary to change
the length of the tractor upper link with the adjusting
handle.

NOTE: when using a quick-attaching coupler (customer supplied),
match pin location to pin spacing in quick-attaching coupler.

Upper Hitch Pin

The upper hitch point has two sets of holes. The hitch pin
must be positioned in lower set of holes for use with tractors
equipped with Category 2 quick-attaching coupler. The hitch pin
must be positioned in upper set of holes for use with tractors
equipped with Category 3N and 3 quick-attaching coupler.

NOTE: Always use top hole when not using quick-
attaching coupler.

4. Connect ASAE Standards 7 terminal connector for safety/warning lights on planter to ASAE Standards receptacle on

tractor. If your tractor is not equipped with an ASAE Standards receptacle, check with your tractor manufacturer for
availability. Check to be sure safety/warning lights on planter are working in conjunction with safety/warning lights on
tractor.

Connect harness on planter to digital vacuum gauge console on tractor. Connect power lead to power source. A

power lead adapter may be required.
