Level the Machine (Two-Point Hitch)

Periodically check that hitch tube (A) and planting unit frames (B) are parallel to the ground during operation.

NOTE: Adjustments are more accurate when performed in field conditions.

NOTE: If center frame of machine is higher or lower than wings, rephase hydraulic lift system. Lower machine and hold SCV lever for several seconds to rephase.

1. Set any adjustable down force system to zero pressure.

2. Lower machine on level ground.

3. Adjust rockshaft until hitch tube is parallel to the ground.

4. With machine in planting position and adjustable down force systems set to zero pressure, check clearance from bottom of main frame tube to the ground. If frame is not 510-560 mm (20-22 in.) above ground, see ADJUST FRAME HEIGHT in this section before continuing this procedure.

5. Raise and lower machine.

6. Adjust rockshaft until hitch tube is parallel to the ground.

During operation, planting unit frames (B) are parallel to the ground. Periodically check to be certain planting units are parallel with ground during operation.

If center frame of machine becomes higher or lower than wings during operation, rephase hydraulic lift system.
