General
IMPORTANT:
For proper machine operation, it is important that the machine frame be fully lowered into 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 required.
Add frame ballast when conditions warrant. This may be particularly important if the frame mounted coulter is being used.
When using single lever control of lift-assist wheels, DO NOT put SCV lever in FLOAT when raising and lowering machine. Correct procedure for raising and lowering machine is to POWER completely UP or DOWN.
To prevent plugging of seed tubes or seed openers, lower the machine when moving forward.
DO NOT back up with machine lowered.
