Operator's Manual: Seed Titan™ 2XT Seed Tender

3.6 LOADING SEED BOXES

The images in this section identify the correct
method for loading and unloading seed boxes
from the unit. The tenders shown may not be
the exact model described in this manual.
UPENDING HAZARD
Tender must be connected to
tow vehicle at all times during operation
to avoid tipping backwards.
UPENDING HAZARD
Always load the front seed box first to maintain
a positive tongue weight. Negative tongue
weight can cause the hitch to rapidly swing
upward if not securely fastened to the tow
vehicle, which can result in personal injury.
CRUSH HAZARD
Use caution when lifting seed boxes.
A typical seed box weighs 330 lb (150 kg)
when empty. Seed boxes have the capacity
of holding up to 2500 lb (1135 kg) of seed.
Keep bystanders away from loading area
and at least 15 ft (4.5 m) from the seed box.
Use a lifting device with a rated lift capacity
capable of safely moving the seed boxes.
