Connect Seed Hoses
Connect Hoses at Air Box Manifold
Refer to tables on page 31 or page 32
85. To ease the connection process, mark the free end
of each hose with its rack Tube number and Port or
Row assignment. Check that each hose has a
clamp.
Rack Tubes are numbered from T01 (bottom row,
planter left) to T12 or T16 (top row, planter right).
Air box manifold ports are numbered from P01
(planter left) to P16 (planter right).
Obtain the Tube-to-Port assignment from the tables
on page 31 (12 port) or page 32 (16_port).
86. Remove any slip-on shipping caps on the manifold
ports. On a 12 port planter, ports P07-P10 are
unused, and have caps secured with clamps. Leave
these caps in place.
Refer to Figure 57
The free ends of the flexible seed hoses are guided
under the frame tube but above the steering gear.
It is generally easier to start at the center manifold ports
(P08 and P09), and work outwards.
87. Slide each hose fully onto its assigned manifold
port.
88. Slide the clamp toward the end of the hose and
secure it at
3 ⁄
4
inch (1.9 cm) from the face of the air
box.
89. Repeat step 87 and step 88 for all hoses.
Connect Hoses at Wing Tubes
Refer to Figure 58 (which depicts wings folded for routing
clarity - make these connections prior to first wing fold)
90. Route hoses from lower rack tubes to center section
tubes and rows. In general, the outermost rack tube
is connected to the rear-most section tube. The
center rack tubes connect directly to Y-tube or rows.
Secure with clamps.
91. Route hoses from upper rack tubes to wing tubes.
The outermost rack tube is connected to the rear-most wing tube. Secure with clamps.
