TRACTOR PREPARATION AND HOOKUP
NOTICE
Wipe hose ends to remove any dirt before connecting couplers to
tractor ports or contamination may cause equipment failure.
4. Connect hydraulic hoses to tractor ports in a sequence familiar and comfortable to the operator.
NOTE: If tractor is equipped with an adjustable flow outlet (SCV), set to full
flow position. For tractors not equipped with a method for finite adjustment
of hydraulic flow, Flow Control Needle Valve Kit G1K426 is available from
Kinze Repair Parts through your Kinze Dealer.
WARNING
Pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate body tissue and result
in death, serious infection, or other injuries. Fluid injected under
skin must be IMMEDIATELY removed by a surgeon familiar with this
type of injury. Make sure connections are tight and hoses and
fittings are not damaged before applying system pressure. Leaks
can be invisible. Keep away from suspected leaks. Relieve pressure
before searching for leaks or performing any system maintenance.
NOTE: A 2-Point Hitch option is available for use with
Category 3N or 3 three-point hitch designs to convert planter
from drawn to semi-mounted. Safety chain is not used with
2-point hitch.
1. Adjust tractor drawbar 13 to 17 inches above ground. Adjust
drawbar so hitch pin hole is directly below center line of PTO
shaft. Make sure drawbar is in a stationary position.
2. Back tractor to planter and connect with a minimum ¾"
diameter hitch pin. Secure with a locking or cotter pin.
