IMPORTANT:
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.
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.

1.
Use recommended size tractor.
2.
Be sure tractor and machine have been properly prepared. See Preparing Tractor and Preparing Machine sections.
3.
Check seed rates carefully.
4.
Check tire pressure before seeding.
5.
Allow tractor hydraulic oil to warm up thoroughly prior to seeding. Cold oil will cause slower fan speeds.
6.
Run CCS fan at recommended speed; excessive speed will cause increased wear on air system and damage seed.
7.
Whenever machine has been standing for an hour or more during period of high humidity or damp, rainy days, or after sitting overnight, run CCS fan at recommended rpm, with machine stationary for 10 minutes.
8.
Use clean seed for best results.
