Attaching Machine to Tractor-Seeding Tool or 1900 Tow-Between Cart

CAUTION: Help prevent personal injury caused by unexpected movement of the machine. Engage parking brake and/or place transmission in "PARK" shut off engine, and remove key before working around hitch.

1. Back tractor into position and attach hitch link to drawbar using pin (A). Be sure hitch pin is secured with spring strap or hex nut.

CAUTION: A safety chain will help control drawn equipment should it accidentally separate from the drawbar while transporting. A runaway machine could cause severe injury or death to a motorist, bystander or the operator. Using the appropriate adapter parts, attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Provide only enough slack in chain to permit turning. See your John Deere dealer for a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed machine.

2. Attach safety chain (B) to tractor drawbar.

IMPORTANT: Fan motor case drain MUST be attached to low-pressure drain connection (LESS THAN over 689 kPa [6.89 bar] [100 psi]) or fan motor will be damaged.

IMPORTANT: Installation of a Low-Pressure Drain Line Kit is required if towing tractor is not so equipped. Refer to LOW-PRESSURE DRAIN CONNECTION in Preparing the Tractor section for appropriate kit.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE other ports at the rear of the tractor (such as power-beyond ports) which may be similar in appearance and size to low-pressure drain port. Due to high back-pressure (over 689 kPa [6.89 bar] [100 psi]), drain connection to these ports WILL RESULT in fan motor damage.

3. Attach fan motor case drain hose (A) to low pressure drain coupler (B).

CAUTION: Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before attaching hydraulic hoses to couplers.

Hydraulic hoses can fail due to physical damage, kinks, age and exposure. Check hoses regularly. Replace damaged hoses.

4. Plug color coded (red and blue) lift hoses (A) into No. 1 hydraulic coupler.

5. Plug color coded (green and yellow) wing-fold hoses into No. 2 hydraulic coupler.

6. Plug fan/auger hoses into No. 3, No. 4, or No. 5 hydraulic coupler.

Connect hoses so fan turns with SCV lever in forward position. Usually the hose with the one-way check valve goes in the left-hand SCV port. One-way check valve prevents fan from turning backward.
