Check Hydraulic Control Functions

CAUTION: Verify machine area is clear of bystanders and stationary obstacles before checking control functions.

Bystanders can be struck by moving machine parts and severely injured or killed.

Machine contact with stationary obstacles may cause damage.

Keep all persons away from machine when checking fan operation. Seed or fertilizer blowing out at high speed can strike someone, causing eye, and other personal injuries.

Refer to your tractor and seeding equipment operator's manuals for specific instructions and verify:

  1. Depth-Control Operations—Frame or openers raise and lower in response to “SCV I” control lever.

  2. Wing-Fold Operations—Wings unfold and fold in response to “SCV II” control lever.

  3. IMPORTANT: Do not start fan unless drain line is properly connected to low-pressure drain port. If hose is not properly connected, fan motor damage occurs quickly.

    IMPORTANT: Fan motor must be shut off by moving SCV lever to “Float” position. Moving SCV lever into “Neutral” detent may cause fan motor damage.

    Fan Operations—Fan turns in response to “SCV III” control lever.
