Leveling the Planter

Periodically check the planter to be certain the planting units are running level.

Lower the planter on level ground until the planter frame and hitch (A) are approximately parallel to the ground when in planting position.

Lower planter to planting position with the bottom of main frame tube approximately 510 to 560 mm (20 to 22 in.) above the ground.

When planting, the top of hopper support (A) should be parallel to the ground.

Periodically check the planter to be certain the planting units are running level.

If the center of the planter is too high or low, it may be necessary to rephase the hydraulic wheel lift system.

To rephase your planter wheel system, proceed as follows:

Lower the planter on level ground and loosen clamps and remove collars (A) from front of master cylinder rods.

Fully raise the planter (hold the remote cylinder operating lever rearward approximately 5 seconds). The stops on the front of the master cylinder rods should come in contact with the cylinder end caps. If the stops are in contact with the end caps, lower the planter and replace the collars. If the stops are not in contact with the end caps, bleed sufficient oil from the wheel module cylinders to achieve contact. To bleed the wheel module cylinders, proceed as follows:

With planter in raised position and tractor selector control valve in neutral, install bleeder hose (A) on bleeder valve. Bleed trapped air from each wheel module cylinder (alternating sides of planter), allowing planter to lower and oil to flow until it is free of air foam. Repeat as required.

Fully raise and lower the planter and replace collars.
