Refer to the drill operator’ s manual for detailed information on
safely operating, adjusting, troubleshooting and maintaining the
drill. Refer to the parts manual for part identification.

Before You Start

On page 2 is a detailed listing of parts included in the update kits.
Use this list to inventory parts received.

Refer to Figure 1.

1. Disassemble opener disks (1) by removing 5/8-inch bolts (2)
and shim washers (3).

IMPORTANT: Note how many shim washers are on each
side of disks. You will need to place the same number of
washers on each side of disks after installing flap and tube.

and pulling seed hose (5) off seed tube. Remove scre ws (6)
and pull existing seed tube out of opener body. Insert new
tube and secure with screws. Place seed hose on new tube
and secure with hose clamp.

3. Hook seed flap (7) over welded nuts (8). Work clip until it
snaps securely over nuts.

NOTE: You may need to use a hand grinder to touch up the nut
weld. If necessary , remov e enough of the weld so the clip snaps
below flush with the nut.

Rotate clip on welded nut for proper position.

5. Replace disks. Use new shim washers provided in kit, plac­ing the same number of washers on each side of disks as
