Pre-Assembly Preparation
3. Clean out the Main and Small Seed boxes. These
boxes need to be empty for the installation.
4. Move the drill to a location with:
• room to maneuver large parts around it
• adequate lighting
• clear surface beneath for recovery of any falling or
dropped parts - if the surface is not clear, have a
tarp or drop cloth available
5. Park the drill at the work site. Install the parking jack
if unhitching (and see Warning at right).
6. Lower the openers to eliminate negative tongue
weight hazard.
7. Shut off tractor if left hitched.
CAUTION !
Agricultural Chemical Hazard:
Installation requires hand work inside the Main seed box, and
if installed, the Small Seeds box. If treated seed has ever been
used in the seed box(es), follow seed or material supplier
instructions for safely removing residue from a seed box.
WARNING !
Drill Becomes at Risk of Negative Tongue Weight:
An 800EW drill without the Fertilizer option has positive
tongue weight. After the Fertilizer option is installed, negative
tongue weight is possible when material is loaded in the fertil-
izer box, and possibly during installation when weight is on
the new extended walkboard. Unless tractor remains hitched
during installation, lower drill before unhitching
