Install Secondary Hoses

Secondary seed hose is 1 inch (2.5cm) in diameter and

cut-to-length to connect each distribution tower outlet
(port) to a row unit seed tube.

Port Numbering Convention

Refer to Figure 24 on page 24

Tower ports are numbered:

1-8

on 3N-4010HDA-4810 or

1-11 on 3N-4010HDA-6675

Ports are numbered in ascending order, clockwise
around tower. Port one (1) is the port closest to the cen-
ter of the tower-mounting plate

. This corresponds to:

on wing towers (1, 2, 5, 6): rear-most port
on center towers (3, 4): port closest to drill center.

Note: If blockage detectors are to be installed, it is bene-

ficial to record the opener row number at each tow-
er port opening, using a permanent marker, on the
tower top cap.

Start with Tower 1 (left wing, left tower).

Refer to Figure 27 on page (shown exploded for clarity)
