Adjust Frame Height and Level Machine (CCS Machines Only)
-
NOTE: During operation, parallel arms must be parallel to the
ground or angled slightly upward toward frame.
NOTE: If machine is equipped with variable rate drive, the gauge
wheel with the motion sensor is designed to float and uses a separate
adjustment procedure.
Drive tractor and machine onto level ground. Lower to planting
position while driving forward.
-
Set frame height to 510—560 mm (20—22 in.) above
ground with hitch depth stop. If using single lever SCV control, fully
lower hitch and adjust tractor lift links to proper length to achieve
20 - 22" frame height.
-
Level planter front to rear by extending lift assist wheel cylinders
and install appropriate cylinder stops.
-
Check to be sure planting units are parallel with ground when
in planting position.
-
Adjust frame gauge wheels to have firm contact with the ground.
-
Recheck frame height.
