Appendix B - Initial Setup
This Appendix covers setup tasks performed only once,

of these items may already have been done by your
Great Plains dealer:
a. Record replacement dates.
b. Field lift partial fold adjustment (below)
c. Flow controller console installation (Option,
page 155)
d. 3-point parking stand clearance (page 37)
e. Frame-mounted row options
(see manual supplied with accessory)
FOLD / FIELD Switch Installation
This applies to 2013+ 5-Section only.
Refer to Figure 97
Chose a cab location for the FOLD / FIELD switch:
• Within easy reach for periodic field activation.
• Easy to observe periodically to verify state.
• Does not obstruct view of road or important tractor
controls or indicators.
The switch bundle includes an optional fuse kit and both
ring terminals and fuse box terminals for connection to
the tractor’s 12Vdc supply.
The switch may be connected directly to battery power,
or to a switched source. If connected direct, it is
important to use the PARK position to save battery power
when the applicator is connected but not in use.
Route the captive harness to the hitch. Secure it with the
provided cable ties to prevent entanglement and
damage.
Component Replacement Dates
Record replace-by dates on the “Replacement Log”,
pages 116 to 118.
If the applicator 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
applicator is placed in service.
