DANGER!

Contacting or coming close to power lines or other high energy
sources will cause death or serious injury. Keep away from power
lines or high energy sources at all times.

PLANTING SPEED

Planters are designed to operate in a speed range of 2 to 8 mph (3.2 - 12.9 kph). Higher ground speeds generally cause
more variation in seed spacing. Speeds above 5.5 mph (8.8 kph) are typically not recommended.

8. Operate hydraulic control to raise planter using

field lift.

hydraulic control to fully retract tongue. Tongue latch
