3. Loosen hardware (A) at cross-support outer brackets.

4. Remove hardware (B) from cross-support center connections.

NOTE: Tube to frame hardware will need to be loosened for the following step.

5. Spread hitch tube ends (C) into alignment with rear bar brackets (previously installed on seeding tool).

NOTE: Final attachment and tightening of cross-support can be delayed until hitch tubes are attached to rear bar brackets.

6. Extending both sides equally, align holes in cross-support brackets and attach with previously removed hardware (B). Use additional flat washers (D) (provided) to fill gap between "over" bracket and connecting strap. "Under" bracket rests flat on strap and does not need spacer washers. Leave hardware loose until instructed to tighten.

7. Slide cross-support assembly as far forward as possible and tighten hardware (A) at cross-support outer brackets.

8. Tighten hardware at cross-support center connections.

NOTE: End bracket-to-tube hardware will need to be tightened after the following steps.

10. Back seeding tool toward cart and align hitch tubes (A) to arms (B).

NOTE: Hitch tubes attach at top holes in arms.

11. When holes align, install pins (C) through top arm holes and hitch tubes. Retain pins with quick-lock pins.

12. With both tubes attached to arms, back seeding tool toward cart to raise arms to vertical positions.

13. When holes align, retain arms in vertical positions using pins (D) and quick-lock pins.

IMPORTANT: Torque on hitch tube hardware should be checked after first 10 hours and again after 50 hours.

14. Tighten hitch tube hardware (E) to specification.

NOTE: Leave clamp hardware loose until instructed to tighten.

22. Route hydraulic hoses (A) and electrical harnesses (B) through longest length guard hose 1003 mm (39.5 in.) (C). Turn guard hose so slit is down. Retain hose guard to cart using clamp and M10 x 40 flange head cap screws with lock nuts (D).

23. Bend hose guard to right-hand side of hitch and retain with clamp, U-bolt (E) and M10 lock nuts. Center hose guard between clamps and tighten hardware.

24. Install the remaining short hose guards 63.5 mm (2.50 in.) (F) along the right-hand side of the hitch frame and telescoping member, using same clamp and hardware as shown in previous step. Evenly space clamps along the hitch, keeping hoses away from sharp edges.
