Setup
This section covers mating the implement to a
compatible air cart, and final setup items on the
implement.
Some of these items are repeated in the cart and
implement Operator’s Manuals. The Operator’s Manuals
may also have additional setup items that may be
appropriate to accomplish prior to delivery (such as
installing the seed monitor in the tractor, if the tractor is
available).
Hitching
When transported by the customer, the implement is part
of a train that includes the tractor and the assembly (the
cart and the implement).
When hitching for pre-delivery setup, hitch the leading
cart to the tractor first.
Once the cart is hitched to the implement, it is usually left
connected, unless parking or storage considerations
require separation.
This manual includes full details only for the implement’s
hitch. Consult the cart manual for cart-to-tractor hitching.
Equipment Damage Risk:
If the tractor has a load-sensing or constant-flow hydraulic
system, the implement must be equipped with an optional
bypass valve to avoid tractor damage. See the CTA4000 or
CTA4000HD Operator’s Manual for ordering and setup
information for the bypass kit.
Crushing Hazard:
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor, cart and implement. Do not stand or place
any part of your body between machines being hitched. Stop
tractor engine and set park brake before installing hitch pins.
Cart Differences
Hitching procedures depend on the cart model. Be sure
to reference the correct section of this manual for the cart
and implement models being hitched.
