Work Location
7. Clean out the main seed boxes. See Operator Man-
ual for instructions.
If treated seed has been used,
open seed cup doors to clean-out position,
wash out the boxes,
thoroughly rinse the boxes, and
allow them to dry.
Do this in a suitable location other than where the
installation work is to be performed.
8. Move the implement to a location with:
• room to unfold it,
• access to tractor or hydraulic power,
• adequate illumination, and;
• clear surface beneath
for recovery of any falling or dropped parts - if the
surface is not clear, have a tarp or drop cloth
available.
Prepare Implement
9. Partially unfold implement. Stop the unfold about
halfway, both to provide access to the front and
ends of all boxes, and to allow removal of the center
drive shaft.
10. Lower the drill.
11. Shut off tractor or hydraulic source. Put tractor in
Park.

CAUTION
Chemical Hazard
This installation requires contact with interior components of
the main seed box. If treated seed has ever been used in the
box, follow chemical supplier instructions for protective equip-
ment and cleaning residue from the seed box.

WARNING
Negative tongue weight hazard
3S-3000 drills can have significant negative tongue weight
when fully unfolded. The tongue can fly up during transport or
opener lift, if using stationary hydraulic power to operate
implement.
