Install T-Banders

Refer to Figure 24, which depicts two variations of T-bander

The T-Bander (39) is the distribution nozzle for the
Smartbox system. It mounts under the row unit, through
a dedicated pair of holes

at the hinge point between

the opener and the press wheel assembly.

The T-Bander assembly consists of four parts:
(39) 817-655C (T-BANDER)
(12) 116-001D (T-BANDER TUBE)
(22) 800-126C (CLAMP WRM DRV #5 SS (.44-.70))
(34) 805-185C (PIN COTTER .186 WIRE DIA)

If your application requires a longer nozzle on the T-
bander, an extension boot is available as Great Plains
part number 816-511C.

Repeat Step 55 through Step 58 for each row unit
served by a Smartbox meter.

Refer to Figure 24 and Figure 25

Slide either end of tube fully down over neck of T-
Bander.

cotter pin at this time.

56. Place clamp (22) over neck of T-Bander, and posi-

tion above groove

from

beneath row unit. Align it so that the exit port is
side-to-side.
