Safety
Transport Safely Use a trailer or an implement
carrier such as the John Deere 201 Implement
Carrier when transporting the planter. Always
lock markers in transport position before
transporting the planter any considerable
distance. Stand clear of disk blade when raising
or securing marker. When transporting the planter
on a smooth surface road, do not exceed maximum
tractor transport speed. Reduce speed
considerably when traveling over rough
ground. When transporting the planter on a road
or highway at night or during the day use
accessory lights and devices for adequate warning
to operators of other vehicles. In this regard,
check local governmental reg- ulations. Various
safety lights and devices are avail- able from
your John Deere dealer.
2-3
Avoid High-Pressure Hydraulic Fluid Escaping
fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate the skin, causing serious iniury.
Before disconnecting lines, be sure to relive
pressure. Before applying pressure, be sure
connections are tight and lines. pipes and hoses
are not damaged. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood, rather than hands, to search for leaks. If
injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once.
Serious infection or reaction can develop if
proper medical treatment is not administered
immediately. Do Not I\flodify Planter Unauthorized
modifications to the machine may impair the
function and/or safety and atfect machine life.

Safety 3
Operate the Planter Safely Permit only one
person, the operator. on the tractor platform
while tractor and planter are in operation. Be
careful when operating on hillsides because the
tractor may tip sideways if it strikes a hole,
ditch or other irregularity. Never ride or permit
others to ride on the drawbar of the tractor or
on the planter. Lubricate the Planter
Safely Never clean, lubricate or adjust the
planter while it is in motion. Mount Tires
Safely Failure to follow proper procedures when
mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an
explosion which may result in serious injury or
death. Do not anempt to mount a tire unless you
have the proper equipment and experience to
perform the job. Have it done by your John Deere
dealer or a qualified tire repair service. When
sealing tire beads on rims, never exceed 35 psi
or maximum inflation pressures specified by tire
man- ufacturers for mounting tires. Inflation
beyond this maximum pressure may break the bead,
or even the rim , with dangerous explosive force.
If both beads are not seated when the maximum
recommended pres- sure is reached, deflate,
reposition tire, relubricate bead and
reinflate. Detailed agricultural tire mounting
instructions, includ- ing necessary safety
precautions, are contained in John Deere
Fundamentals of Service (FOS) Manual 55, Tires
and Tracks, available through your John Deere
dealer. Such information is also available from
the Rubber Manufacturers Association and from
tire manufacturers. Protect Against
Noise Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
impair- ment or loss of hearing. Wear a suitable
hearing protective device such as earmuffs (A) or
earplugs (B) to protect against objec- tionable
or uncomfortable loud noises.

Preparing the Tractor
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
IMPORTANT The operating pressure of your tractor
must be a minimum of t3 790 kPa (t37.9 bar) (2000
psi) for the planter hydraulic system to function
6-10
The maximum operating pressure for the planter
hydraulic system is 15 513 kPa (155.1 bar) (2250
psi). Exceeding this pressure is not
rec- ommended. For complete tractor operating
instructions, reter to your tractor operator's
manual.
ROCKSHAFT SELECTOR LEVER
Set the tractor rockshatt selector lever in the
MIN position. TIRE INFLATION Inflate the
tractor tires as recommended in the
tractor operator's manual.

LIFT LINKS Adjust the lift links for transport
clearance and lateral float. See tractor
operator's manual. REAR WHEEL TREAD Set
tractor tires (center-to-center of tread) at 80
in. (2 030 mm) for solid row planters and 90 in.
(2 285 mm) for tractor tire skip
planters. FRONT WHEEL TREAD On wide front end
tractors, set front wheels to conform to rear
wheel setting.

8 Preparing the Tractor FRONT BALLAST
INFORMATION Install the proper amount of weight
on the front of the tractor as recommended in
your tractor operator's manual. For proper front
end weighting, see the fol- lowing implement code
tables. CAUTION Front-end ballast may not
always maintain the required Gtability if the
tractor is driven too fast over rough ground with
planter in raised position. Be eafe and drive
slowly under these conditions.

Basic machine code includes planter /rame, drive
and gauge wheel assemblies, units yvith seed
hoppers, markers, and parkjnp stands. EXAMPLE Let
s assume you have an integral eight-row planter
equipped with heavy-duty coulters and heavy-duty
closing wheel attachments. Checking the chart
above, you will find an implement code of 255 for
the basic machine. Add to this an implement code
of 25 for heavy-duty coulters and 23 for
heavy-duty closing wheel attachments. This gives
a total implement code of 303. Using this
implement code, check Front Ballast" in your
tractor operator's manual to see how much front-
end weight will be required. NOTE. To obtain
maximum Iront-end weighting for tractor-implement
combinations where imple- ment code information
is not available, pro- ceed as follows. Drive
tractor onto a scale so only the iront wheels are
on the scale and subtract this weight from f/S
the total tractor weight. Add front-end weights
to equal the difference.

Preparing the Tractor 9 CONVERTING TRACTOR
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FOR SINGLE LEVER CONTROL OF
SEMI-INTEGRAL PLANTER

• CAUTION Escaping hydraulic oil under pres- sure
  can heve sufficient forCe to penetrate the skin,
  Gausing serious personal injury. Before
  disconnecting lines, be sure to relieve all
  pressure. Before applying pressure to the system,
  be sure all connections are tight and that lines,
  pipes and hoses are not damaged. Hydraulic oil
  escaping from a very small hole can be almost
  invisible. Use a piece of card- board or wood,
  rather than hands, to search for suspected leaks.
• If injured by escaping hydraulic oil, see a doc-
  tor at once. Serious infection or reaction can
  develop if proper medical treatment is not ad-
  ministered immediately.
• To convert your planter ana tractor hydraulic
  systems to single lever control, you must first
  order BA23911 from your John Deere dealer. Also,
  your tractor's rockshaft piston cover must be
  equipped with two ports (A) shown at right.
• If your tractor rockshaft piston cover is not
  equipped with the two ports illustrated, order
  the appropriate cov- er as indicated below.
• AR74187 cover for 4040, 4240, and 4440 Tractors.
• R64459 cover for 4640 and 4840 Tractors.
• Once you have obtained the required parts, use
  the assembly procedure outlined below and on page
