  5. Tube to frame hardware must be loosened for the following step.

    Spread hitch tube ends (C) into alignment with rear bar brackets (previously installed on seeding tool).

  6. Final attachment and tightening of cross-support can be delayed until hitch tubes are attached to rear bar brackets.

    Extend both sides equally, align holes in cross-support brackets, and attach with previously removed hardware (B). Use additional flat washers (D) (provided) to fill gap between upper bracket and connecting strap. Lower bracket rests flat on strap and does not need spacer washers.

    F - Drilled Pin

    Install new arms (A) provided on hitch brackets (B) with drilled pins (C) and quick-lock pins.


  10. Use a signal person to direct tractor and seed cart movement. Seed cart blocks tractor operator's view of seeding tool hitch point. Know hand signals and what each signal means before moving. Move slowly and follow signal person's directions to avoid a crushing accident which could cause severe injury or death to someone. Do not stand between air cart and implement while cart and tractor are in motion.

    Back seeding tool toward cart and align hitch tubes (D) with arms (A).

  11. Hitch tubes attach in top holes on arms.

    When top holes in arms and hitch tubes align, install drilled pin (E) and quick-lock pins.

  12. With both hitch tubes attached to arms, back seeding tool toward cart to raise arms to vertical position.

  13. When middle holes in arms and hitch brackets align, install drilled pin (F) and quick-lock pins.

  14. Safety chains help control drawn equipment in case accidental separation from drawbar occurs during transport. A runaway machine could cause severe injury or death to someone. Provide only enough slack in chain to permit turning.

    Verify proper safety chain rating.
