Raising and Lowering the Planter

NOTE: Due to the high hydraulic pressure requirements of large planters, the remote cylinder operating lever used to raise and lower the planter will not function in the automatic retract or automatic extend position.

After raising or lowering the planter, hold the remote cylinder operating lever for approximately five seconds to be certain the planter raises and lowers completely.

Be certain the planter is moving forward when raising or lowering the planter in the unfolded position to avoid plugging the seed openers and fertilizer openers.

When raising or lowering the planter in the folded position, push or pull the remote cylinder operating lever and rockshaft control lever simultaneously. This allows the planter to raise or lower evenly, preventing damage to the seed openers and fertilizer openers.
