Hydraulic Lift System
The lift system on your planter is a master/slave system.
All cylinders in the system are two-way cylinders. Rephas-
ing the system is accomplished each time the planter is
lowered to the planting position.
If the planter is not level during lifting, lower the planter to
the ground and hold the remote lever momentarily. This
will allow oil to go from the tractor to the master, bypass to
the master, bypass to the slave, then return to the tractor.
