Appendix B - Initial Setup
This Appendix covers setup tasks performed only once,
or at infrequent intervals. Routine setup tasks are
covered in “Initial Setup” on page 35. Some of these
items may already have been done by your Great Plains
dealer:
a. Field lift partial fold adjustment (page 161)
b. Flow controller console installation (Option,
page 163)
c. Parking stand clearance
d. Frame-mounted row options
(see manual supplied with accessory)
e. Row drop line connections.
Component Replacement Dates
(anhydrous models only)
Record replace-by dates on the “Replacement Log”,
pages 114 to 116.
If the implement has Great Plains-installed metering,
several components of that system have limited service
lives, and must be replaced before specific dates.
Where these dates are stamped on metal parts, normal
oxidation, and the corrosive effects of extended field
exposure to low levels of anhydrous ammonia vapor, can
render these dates difficult to read soon after the
implement is placed in service.
