cated. See “Lubrication” on page 124.

rectly located and legible. Replace if damaged. See

Seed Monitor Console Installation
The planter’s standard seed monitor system includes a
virtual terminal and switch panel that must be mounted in
the tractor cab. As supplied by DICKEY-john
®
, the kit
includes a flat bracket for the modules, and a ball swivel
for mounting the bracket in the tractor.
Transport and Field Safety Risk:
Mount the modules so that they are easy to monitor during
planting, but do not interfere with safe operation of the tractor
in the field or on public roads.
The ball swivel includes four 10-32 screws. You or your
dealer must provide the mounting holes for the screws.
Your dealer may have alternate suction cup or clamping
brackets available if you prefer to avoid drilling holes.
Refer to the included DICKEY-john
®
manual for harness
connections.
