2. Release safety pin (A) from hole (B).

3. Press lever (D) and position safety stop (E) on wheel cylinder (F).

4. Secure safety pin (A) in hole (C).

5. Repeat steps two to four for all available wheel cylinder safety stops on planter.

6. Slowly lower planter retracting cylinders until they are supported on safety stops relieving hydraulic system pressure.

   IMPORTANT: Safety stops must only be used for service work with planter stationary.

   Safety stops MUST NOT be used when transporting planter since hydraulic system requires some wheel float in order to properly distribute chassis weight over all wheel assemblies. This DOES NOT apply to transport on a flatbet carrier truck.

7. To release safety stops, perform procedure in reverse order.
