If any hoses appear to be rubbing on sharp edges or are in
danger of getting pinched use cable ties to secure in a safe
location. Secure hoses to metering box outlet tubes using
2 1/2” air hose band clamps and tighten securely. Be sure
that placement of outer clamps does not interfere with op-
eration of metering box calibration door latch clamps, refer
to Figure 3-3.
Hydraulic Hose Hook-up
!
WARNING!
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before
applying pressure. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, not body parts, and
wear heavy gloves to check for suspected leaks. If injured, seek
medical assistance from a doctor that is familiar with this type
of injury. Foreign fluids in the tissue must be surgically removed
within a few hours or gangrene will result.
Refer to Figure 3-4:
Connect the 2 hoses for the fold circuit to the quick cou-
plers nearest to the outside of the cart.
Connect the 2 hoses for the lift circuit to the quick couplers
nearest to the center of the cart. If the drill is equipped with
an auger the diversion valve should be in the fold circuit.
Connect the lead from the height switch on the implement
to the connector on the electric clutch wiring harness.
If equipped with the blockage monitor option, connect the
4-pin connector on the implement to the connector on the
cart monitor harness.
Connect the light harness lead on the implement to the
lead on the cart.
Filling the Drill
1. Be certain the drill is securely hitched to an adequate
tractor, see Recommended Tractor Size on page 37.
2. Be sure that the bin unloading door (#1) on the bottom
of the meter is securely closed and latched, refer to
Figure 3-5.
3. Prior to filling the drill for the first time, and at least
once per season thereafter, check the drill bin for air
leaks as described in the field operations section.
4. Place the drill on solid, level ground prior to attempting
to fill.
5. Shut off all hydraulic power to the drill.

mately 2600 lbs. on level ground, more when facing
