Liquid Fertilizer Drive Lock-Up
For dry fertilizer ground drive lock-up, see page 43.
For seed meter ground drive lock-up, see page 45.
For planting without applying liquid fertilizer, lock up the
fertilizer ground drive.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not operate the pump when not applying fertilizer.
A dry pump is subject to rapid corrosion.

attempting to lift the drive arm, align the lock-up weldment
and insert the pin could easier loose control of the arm, which
will swing down rapidly, and could inflict serious leg and foot
injuries.
