General
IMPORTANT:
For proper planter operation, it is important that the planter frame be fully lowered into the correct planting position. Achieving this position can be difficult with some attachment combinations, especially when planting in hard to penetrate soil conditions. If this situation is encountered, the following action may be warranted:
Reduce attachment down force levels. Avoid using more attachment down force than is required.
Add frame ballast when conditions warrant. This may be particularly important if the frame mounted coulter is being used.
If using fertilizer, it may be necessary to NOT completely empty the fertilizer hoppers to maintain sufficient frame weight to achieve the proper frame planting height.
DO NOT put SCV lever into FLOAT when raising and lowering the planter. The correct procedure for raising and lowering the planter is to POWER completely UP or DOWN.
