• 3S-3000HD
General Information
These instructions explain how to install a Main Seed
Box Agitator Kit on a drill having only a main seed box.
The agitator stirs seed in the main box directly above the
meter cups. This helps prevent bridging of light fluffy
seeds and helps separate seeds sticky with innoculant.
These instructions apply to an installation of:

Before You Start
Compatibility
Refer to Figure 2
1. Check the serial number plate against the table on
page 1. Verify from the serial number or date of
manufacture that the drill is compatible with this kit.
2. Check for an installation of Fertilizer (“HDF” model,
or divided main box, and a transmission at front left
of each section). If the drill has Fertilizer, do not
install this kit.
3. Check for an installation of Small Seeds (small seed
box at upper rear of main box). If the drill has Small
Seeds options installed, do not install this kit.
4. Check for an installation of Point Row option (solenoid valve block behind pressure adjustment valves,
mechanical clutch in center section). If the drill has
Point Row installed, do not install this kit.
Note: This kit is compatible with the electric clutch
option.
Inventory
5. Make sure all parts are present.
Comprehension
6. Review these instructions. Make sure the installers
understand where each part or assembly is
installed, and what tools are required for the task.
Note: Some sequences in these instructions have you
update one box at a time. Parts are removed and
re-installed. Parts can vary between boxes, with
some risk of part mix-up if all disassembly is done
at once.
Note: Illustrations in this manual, based on the parts
manuals for this family of drills, may show
exploded views that are fully disassembled. Rely
on the instructions for required disassembly and
reassembly steps.

Pre-Assembly Preparation
Tools Required
• updated drill Parts Manual (see page 1)
• suitable tractor for raising and folding implement
• basic hand tools,
including punch for removing
• two people suggested for shaft installations
Work Location
7. Clean out the main seed boxes. See Operator Man-
ual for instructions.
If treated seed has been used,
open seed cup doors to clean-out position,
wash out the boxes,
thoroughly rinse the boxes, and
allow them to dry.

Installation Instructions 3
!
CAUTION
Chemical Hazard
This installation requires contact with interior components of
the main seed box. If treated seed has ever been used in the
box, follow chemical supplier instructions for protective equipment and cleaning residue from the seed box.
Do this in a suitable location other than where the
installation work is to be performed.
8. Move the implement to a location with:
• room to unfold it,
• access to tractor or hydraulic power,
• adequate illumination, and;
• clear surface beneath
for recovery of any falling or dropped parts - if the
surface is not clear, have a tarp or drop cloth
available.
Prepare Implement
9. Partially unfold implement. Stop the unfold about
halfway, both to provide access to the front and
ends of all boxes, and to allow removal of the center
drive shaft.
10. Lower the drill.
11. Shut off tractor or hydraulic source. Put tractor in
Park.
!
WARNING
Negative tongue weight hazard
3S-3000 drills can have significant negative tongue weight
when fully unfolded. The tongue can fly up during transport or
opener lift, if using stationary hydraulic power to operate
implement.
