planter for use, and to provide general operating procedures. The operator's experience, familiarity with the machine
and the following information should combine for efficient planter operation and good working habits.
NOTICE
Always raise the planter out of the ground when making sharp

Never operate vacuum fan with cover removed.
The dual lift assist wheel option requires a customer-supplied quick hitch to operate without the center link pin. 8 row
wide planters require removal of the center section gauge wheels to accommodate dual lift assist wheels.
INITIAL PREPARATION OF THE PLANTER
Lubricate the planter and row units per the lubrication information in this manual. Make sure all tires have been
properly inflated. See “Tire Servicing”. Check all drive chains for proper tension, alignment and lubrication.
