Raising/Lowering Planter
Refer to Figure 15
(which depicts the planter both raised and unfolded)
Planter raising relies on the 3-point hitch in front, and the
Lift Assist cylinders in back. To raise or lower the planter,
move the levers for both the Lift circuit and the 3-point
hitch.
Great Plains recommends this sequence (to prevent lat-
eral dragging of wing components):
• in Raising, operate the planter Lift circuit first, and
• in Lowering, operate the hitch circuit first.
The planter may be raised or lowered in either the folded
or unfolded configuration.
The lift assist circuit may also include the optional down
pressure system. This system engages and disengages
automatically.

Machine Damage Risk:
Do not raise or lower while any planter folding operations are
underway or partially complete.
Always raise planter for reverse/backing operations.
