Primary Distribution Hoses
1. Start with the third, or center tower. Route hose as
shown in Figure 2-16 and Figure 2-17. Slide clamp
over end of hose, then slide hose at least two inches
onto tower inlet.
2. Allow enough hose so that implement raising, lower-
ing, folding and unfolding will not pinch or bind hose.
3. Using a hacksaw, cut hose so that it will slide onto
meter outlets up to end of flare.
4. Slide clamp over hose end, then slide hose onto meter
outlet. Install clamp so that it will not interfere with oth-
er hoses, clamps or meter-door latches. Figure 2-14.
5. Repeat this procedure on towers two and four. Cut
these two the same length but longer than the center
hose.
6. Repeat the same procedures for towers one and five.
These two hoses should also be the same length, but
longer than the others.
7. Secure all hoses to the frame using 24-inch cable ties.
Make sure hoses will not be damaged during drill op-
eration.
Secondary Hoses
Secondary seed hose is one inch in diameter and comes
in 100-foot rolls. Cut secondary hoses to connect each
opener to a distribution tower. Refer to the appropriate
hose routing illustration for the correct hose routings.
See Figure 2-15.
1. Start with tower 1 (far left tower). Loosen but do not re-
move bolts holding tower halves together.

IMPORTANT: Do not cut hose until routed over imple-
ment.
2. Insert hose into port. Push hose into port until seated
against the stop.
3. Keeping your implement row spacing in mind, refer to-
Figure 2-16 or Figure 2-17 to find which opener to con-
nect the hose.
!
DANGER!
To avoid serious injury or death from crushing, make sure trans-
port locks are in place, the drill is sufficiently blocked up, and
the tractor is shut off with the key removed before attempting to
route hoses to openers.
4. Route hose over implement frame as shown in Figure
2-16 or Figure 2-17. Route hoses to prevent rubbing
on sharp edges or damage when the implement is
raised, lowered, folded or unfolded. Allow enough
hose slack for implement folding and down-flex.
5. When you are satisfied you have the proper hose
length, cut hose.
