Unloading
Have the driver spot the truck as marked during
See “Plan The Mainframe Unload” on page 9.
Unload Smaller Items First
Unloading the mainframe is a potentially dangerous
operation.
Reduce risk and complication by first unloading
1. the caster components,
2. the miscellaneous crate and
3. the seed frame
(described below)
Place these components well out of the maneuvering
area needed for unloading the mainframe.
Unload the Seed Frame
Although relatively light compared to the main frame, the
seed frame is tall and an awkward shape for fork-lifting.
It is easiest to approach it from what will later be the
front. If you fork-lift from its back (not recommended),
first swing open and secure the walkboard.
Refer to Figure 20 (which depicts an earlier revision frame)
If the planter was delivered with a hopper, lift via the side
fork lift holes on the diagonal braces.
If the planter did not include a hopper, use chains, and
be sure to check load balance.
4. Remove the seed structure from the trailer.
