Transporting
Never transport the seeder with the
clutch switch engaged (ground drive
models).
Avoid transporting the seeder long
distances when loaded. Do not exceed
20km/h when towing the seeder when
loaded. Maximum speed for towing an
empty seeder is 40km/h. Use safety chains
where provided.
For further information and helpful tips
on transporting refer to the Transporting
section of this manual (refer page 29).
Lifting the Air Seeder
The Air Seeder has been supplied
with 2 lifting eyes located on the trailer
frame between the bins.
The 1860-2150 model seeders will
require a third front sling for lifting.
Ensure
you
have
safe
lifting
equipment with the correct capacity before
attempting to hoist the machine.
