which, for clarity, depicts the air cart without the rear hopper

Use a line (not shown), from the cart walkboard, to
tie the cart links
up so that the ball swivels are
at about the same height as the lug holes .
2. Drive the roll pins out of the lug pins and remove
the lug pins.
3. Have a tractor slowly guide the cart backwards until
the link arm ball swivels
are within two feet (60cm)
of the lug holes , and aligned with them
side-to-side.

restraining the telescoping arms. Do not remove the
stop bolts
.
5. Pin and secure the lug pins .
6. Release the tractor brakes and back up the cart until
the telescoping arm pins
can be re-inserted and
secured.
Make Seed Hose Connections
Refer to Figure 6
Connect primary seed hoses (tower feed hoses) from the
drill to their respective outlets on the rear cart meter box,
in left to right order, skipping any capped outlets. On
Model NTA3010, two center outlets are unused. On
NTA3510, one center outlet is unused.
Leave enough slack so that drill 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.
Make Electrical Connections
Refer to Figure 7
Make sure tractor is shut down with accessory power off
before making connections.
1. Mate the lighting plug to the outlet connector on
the cart.
2. Mate the implement lift switch cable to the socket
on the cart.
3. If present, mate the seed monitor plug to the
outlet connector on the cart.
4. Secure cables so they are clear of moving parts at
the hitch.
After-market markers may require additional electrical
connections not listed here.
