Hitching Tractor to Drill
DANGER
!
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor and drill. Do not stand or place any part of
your body between drill and moving tractor. Stop tractor
engine and set park brake before installing hitch pins.
7. Raise or lower the 3-point links as needed.
8. Install the lower hitch pins.
9. Pin the top link to the drill and adjust so it remains
loose in normal field conditions.
10. Check that all three-point links are securely pinned,
then slowly raise the drill. Watch for cab interference.
Refer to Figure 3
11. Unpin the parking stands as shown. Rotate the
stands up into field position and re-pin.
Hydraulic Connections (Marker Option)
!
WARNING
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before
applying pressure. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can
be almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, not body parts,
and wear heavy gloves to check for suspected leaks. If injured,
seek immediate medical attention from a physician familiar
with this type of injury.
The standard 3PNG12 and 3PNG15 drill does not have
hydraulic circuits. If equipped with marker(s), the drill
requires one remote circuit for each side.
12. Connect each base end hose to an extend port, and
the rod end hose to a retract port.
Electrical Connections (Option)
13. Connect lighting harness.
14. Connect any optional electrical harnesses, such as
shaft monitor.
Gauge-Wheel Adjustment
Gauge-wheel adjustments affect the operating height of
your drill, and drill height directly affects the working
range of the openers.The drill must be adjusted so your
openers can travel up and down and follow the ground
contour.
Refer to Figure 4
15. Before using in the field, with drill level front-to-back,
adjust so the opener mount tube runs 18 1 ⁄
4
inches
above ground. Further adjustments to compensate
for field conditions are likely. See page 24.
