2. IMPORTANT: The tractor hitch must NEVER carry any of the machine frame weight when the machine is down in PLANTING position. When the machine is down, essentially the welded hitch mast leans forward against the quick coupler. The tractor lift links must be adjusted long enough to ensure that the hitch never carries any of the machine frame weight, but short enough to ensure that the machine welded mast will not touch the quick coupler when machine is raised and transported over uneven terrain.

   Level frame front-to-rear with tractor center link (A).

3. Check to be sure planting units (B) are parallel with ground. Adjust center link and/or drive-gauge wheels as needed.

4. When planting, parallel arms (C) should be parallel or slightly upward toward planter frame.

   Periodically check machine to be certain planting units are running level.
