from left-hand seed box. Install handles on fertilizer box as
shown.
2. Remove top 5/16-inch hex flange bolts (3) from rear of seed

3. Remove four 3/8-by-1-inch hex flange bolts (4). Save bolts
and nuts for later use in the same holes.
4. Bolt fertilizer box (5) to drill. At right-hand end, use 3 3/8-by-
1-inch hex flange bolts (4) removed in step 3. Add reinforce-
ment strap (6) supplied in fertilizer kit to inside of seed box.
At the other end of box, bolt fertilizer box to seed box using
1/2-by-1-inch hex flange bolts (7) and locking flange nuts (8)
supplied in fertilizer kit.

until lower 5/8-by-2-inch bolt (12) is installed.
9. If you are installing a15-foot box, check alignment of fertilizer
shafts at flex couplers (11) at center of drill. The flex cou-
plers should be loose; neither flex coupler should have the
weight of the opposite box hanging on it. The hex shafts
should be extended toward center of drill far enough to en-
gage the entire bore of the flex couplers. The gap between
shafts at the center should be 7/8 inch (22 mm) on a 15-foot
drill.
