Setup
Leveling the Drill
Center Box Frame Leveling
1.
Park the drill on a clean level surface.
2. Raise the openers and lock them up.
3. Loosen the eight center box mount bolts (1), four bolts
on each side of tongue, see Figure 2-1, and slide cen-
ter box frame sideways until it is centered with main-
frame and transport axle.
4. See Figure 2-2. Measure the height of center box
opener frame pivots (2) from the level surface and
raise low end of box frame up until both opener frame
pivots measure the same distance from the ground.
5. Torque the 7/8 inch box mount bolts (1), Figure 2-1.
Adjust Toolbar Height
The height of the Toolbars are set at the factory for a level
drill and should not require adjustment. Three spacer
washers above and below the toolbars at their vertical piv-
ot pins allow for a small amount of toolbar height adjust-
ment. Measure from the level surface to the inner wing box
opener frame pivots. See Figure 2-3. If the opener frame
pivots vary more than 1/4" raise the lower toolbar up by re-
moving spacer washers from the top side of the toolbar
and placing them on the bottom side of the toolbar as
shown in Figure 2-4.
It is best to lower the openers and apply enough hydraulic
pressure to them to help balance the wing frame when re-
moving the vertical pivot pin to adjust toolbar height.
