Pre-Assembly Preparation
Prepare Drill
Refer to Figure 2
1.
The work may be performed with the drill raised or
lowered. If lowered, the wrench may not be needed,
as the drive shaft cannot rotate.
Identify the location for mounting the meter.
2. If the drill does not presently have a shaft-mounted
acremeter, look for a drive shaft
with a
1 ⁄
2
-20
tapped hole. This is usually the main drive shaft.
Consult your Parts Manual for the factory location of
the acremeter for your drill model.
3. If more than one
1 ⁄
2
-20 tapped shaft end is available,
choose one on the side of the drill customarily
approached for other tasks during operations.
Note: The meter counts (up) rotations in either direction.
It may be installed on the left or right end of any
suitable drive shaft.
Note: It is not necessary to pick a location visible from
the tractor, as the meter display is blanked when
the drill is planting.
