the link arm ball swivels are within two feet of the lug
holes
in the implement. Set tractor brake.

ment with the implement pivot holes . Insert and

Make Seed Hose Connections
Refer to Figure 6
Connect primary seed hoses (tower feed hoses) from the
implement to their respective outlets on the rear cart
meter box, in left to right order, skipping any capped out-
lets.
Leave enough slack so that implement can be fully
raised, lowered, folded and unfolded.
Secure hoses to meter box using screw clamps provided.
Orient outer clamps so that they do not interfere with the
door latches on the meter.
