OPERATION
Tractor Preparation
The 4620-24 Folding Seeder is designed to be pulled by
a Semi-Mounted Two Point Hitch.
Before attaching the Seeder Hitch, prepare the tractor as
follows:
1. The Seeder is designed to be used with Free Link
CAT 2, 3; Quick Hitch Coupler CAT 2, 3N, 3. Be sure
Tractor's Hitch Capacity is not exceeded by the Laden
Mass of the Seeder. Refer to Tractor Operator's
Manual.
2. Be sure Tractor is properly ballasted. A minimum 25%
of Tractor Laden Mass must be on Tractor Front
Wheels in transport position to maintain stability.
Calculate the Loaded Seeder Mass. See "General
Reference and Specifications" on page 6-1.
(Seeder weight plus the seed box capacity with
desired seed.) Refer to Tractor Operator's Manual.
3. Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast
according to the tractor operator's manual.
Folding Seeder Preparation
1. Prior to operating the 4620-24 Folding Seeder, read
and understand the operator's manual and all decals.
2. Inspect the machine thoroughly for good operating
condition.
3. Replace worn or missing parts.
4. When the machine is new, check the bolt tightness
after a few hours of operation. Tighten any loose nuts
or bolts. Check the lift wheel lug bolts daily.
5. Check the lift wheel tire inflation. Inflate all tires
equally to avoid side draft. Follow the tire
manufacturer's recommended pressures listed on the
sidewall of the tires.
6. Lubricate the machine. See "Lubrication
Maintenance" on page 5-3.
7. Check that all safety decals and reflectors are
correctly located and legible. Replace if damaged.

Attaching Folding Seeder to
the Tractor
Do not allow any bystanders to stand between the
tractor and the implement while backing up to the
implement.
1. Carefully back the tractor into position until the hitch is
in line with the tractor arms.
2. Back the tractor into final position, and install the hitch
pins or lock Quick Hitch if equipped.
3. Connect the Hydraulic Hoses.
4. Fully raise the Seeder and install the Transport Locks
over the Hydraulic Lift Cylinders. See Figure 3-8.
5. Remove 3/4 inch pins and lift the Parking Stand all the
way up. Re-insert pins.
6. Connect the 7-Pin Connector to tractor 7-Pin outlet,
routing cable by avoiding pinch points.
•
Make sure the tractor has a good clean
receptacle, free of dirt and corrosion.
•
Make sure the 7-Pin Connector is inserted ALL
the way in. With tighter fitting pins, operator may
think the connector is all the way in, but really
isn't.
•
Make sure the tractor receptacle cover latches
over the keyway on the 7-Pin Connector to hold
the connector in place.
•
If an operator plugs in the 7-Pin Connector, but
the lights do not seem to work right, check the
above items to make sure there is a good
connection with the 7-Pin connector. See "LED
Warning Lamps" on page 5-7.
7. Join the Brillion Elite Mini Monitor to the Folding
Seeder. Connect the 6-Pin connection of Elite Mini
Tractor Harness and the Seeder Main Harness at the
front of the Folding Seeder Hitch. See Figure 2-5.
8. Adjust or lock tractor sway stabilizers if equipped,
centering the Seeder with the Tractor. Refer to the
Tractor Operator's Manual.
