UNIT ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Read and review all assembly instructions
before starting assembly of this unit.
This unit will be packed in a condensed
format, usually on a packaging skid. This
package may be very heavy and will require
theuseofsometypeofforktruck or material
handling device to unload the package and
break down the parts. Because the various
framecomponents are arranged in avertical
manner any handling equipment must be
able to safely lift and position to a height of
12 ft.
Once bundled skids have been properly
delivered and positioned in a hard, flat and
level area the various frame parts can be
removed. NOTE: the components are
banded together in the bundling process
and these bands provide the structure to
maintainthepackage.Cuttingorremoving
these bands can cause the components
to tip or fall- make certain that the parts
are properly supported before removing
any bands.
Once the bundle has been broken down into
the individual components locate the main
frame of the unit. Assembly of this unit will
require some type of stands to support the
componentsduring assembly.These stands
should be at least 36 in. tall and of adequate
strength to support the components.
Number noted (XX) indicate page numbers
to reference while assembling.
Position the main frame on the work
stands in the center of the assembly
area. NOTE: HARDWARE TO SECURE

4010 ATD LT ASSY/OPER/PARTS MANUAL (74303) 12/08
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
The drill portion of this unit requires 3
hydraulic circuits to properly operate.
MAIN LIFT CIRCUIT
The main lift circuit is used to raise and
lower the complete unit. It consists of a set
of 8" stroke sequencing cylinders of varying
diameter which, when properly connected
and adjusted, will move the unit in a level
manner. Unit operating depth is maintained
by using stroke control collars of varying
length on each lift cylinder (see operating
instructions for more information).
Locate the lift cylinders and move to the
lift axle areas. Refer to cylinder location
instructions (35) to assemble the cylinders
to the main frame and wing lift anchors and
the rear packer assemblies. Cylinders are
mounted with the rod ends up, secured
with the pins noted or with the pins that are
supplied in the cylinder boxes. Locking roll
pins or cotter keys can be used to secure the
pins.Locatethe cylinderstop collarpackages
and clip to the storage rods provided at each
cylinder location.
Locate the appropriate hydraulic hoses and
position in the general areas of the unit as
shown in the hose routing instructions (38).
Install noted fittings in all cylinders in the
circuit.Asshownthis systemrequires thatthe
hoses connect the cylinder's in the correct
sequence. Hoses are routed from the tractor
to the base end of the largest cylinders, from
therod end ofthat cylinder tothebase end of
the next smaller diameter cylinder, etc. Most
hoses are run down the center of the unit,
secured with nylon ties to frame members or
the hose brackets mounted down the side of
the rear hitch.
.
Position and attach the left and right rear
lift axles to the lift axle pivots (24) as shown
and secure. Insert hubs & spindles and rims
and tires.
TRANSPORT LIFT CIRCUIT
There is a single set of lift cylinders that are
used to lift and hold the rear of the unit in
the transport position. These cylinders are
connected in a simple circuit as noted (40).
Attach the base end of the 4x16 cylinders
to the rear lift mast and support the cylinder
with a block to allow full extension without
contacting machine elements. Locate the
required hoses for this circuit, connect the
circuit as shown, route and loosely secure
the hose with the nylon tyes provided.
WING FOLD CIRCUIT
The wings are folded for transport by two
large 5" hydraulic cylinders located at the
rear of the unit. Refer to the cylinder location
instructions for proper orientation of the
cylinders (39). Attach the base ends of the
mainwing fold cylinderswith the boltsor pins
noted. Position a wood block spacer under
thecylinder tohold therod endof thecylinder
abovetheouter wingfoldlinkageattachpoint.
Supporttheend ofthecylinderstoallow room
forthe rodstofullerextendwithoutcontacting
any frame parts.
Locate the required hoses for this circuit,
connect the circuit as shown, route and
loosely secure the hose with the plastic tyes
provided.
HOSE ROUTING/CLAMPING
Hose should be generally routed as shown
in the routing instruction. Since there are
many variables to the routing of hoses it is
recommended that hoses be routed along
frame members where possible. Special
attention should be paid to routing hoses
awayfrom potentialpinch pointswhenfolding
wings or when working. Note the need for
more hose at the hinge points, route the
hoses so there is additional length to move
as components move. Loosely secure hoses
withthe plastictyes provided, cinchtight after
final assembly.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CHARGING
Once all hydraulic circuits have been
assembled as noted and the hoses have
been attached it is important to properly
charge the system.
NOTE: THE SYSTEMS ON THIS UNIT
WILL REQUIRE A LARGE AMOUNT OF
HYDRAULIC OIL TO FULLYCHARGEAND
PURGE. MAKE CERTAIN THE SYSTEM
USED TO CHARGE THE CIRCUITS HAS
ADEQUATE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
(2700 PSI MINIMUM) AND CAPACITY. OIL
MAY NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE PUMP
RESERVOIR TO COMPLETE CHARGING.
ALLCIRCUITS MUSTBEFULLYCHARGED
BEFORE LIFTING OR FOLDING THIS
UNIT
CHARGING MAIN LIFT CIRCUIT
Sequencing systemsrequirethatall cylinders
befullychargedwithoil.Thisisaccomplished
byforcing oilintothe mainor master cylinder,
in this case the 5x8 cylinder located on the
front hitch. When the cylinder is charged
with oil and fully extended it will move into a
bypassmode, oil will moveout of therodend
portand to thenextcylinder in thesequence.
That cylinder will extend into bypass and
move oil to the next, etc. This initial process
cantake aconsiderable amountof time.After
all the main lift cylinders have been mounted
with both the base and rod ends properly
secured and the hydraulic hoses in place
apply pressure to the system. Continue to
holdpressure onthe base5x8 cylinderas the
oilwill bypass and extendthe next cylinderin
thecircuit. Continueto applypressureuntilall
cylinders have been fully extended.
Once all cylinders are fully extended, retract
the cylinders. All cylinders should retract
in sequence. Fully extend the cylinders
again and check to ensure all cylinders are
purged and fully extended and are moving
in sequence.
NOTE:It mayrequire thatthemainliftsystem
be re-sequenced periodically during use.
CHARGING WING FOLD CIRCUIT
Connect the wing fold circuit to the oil
supply and apply pressure. The main frame
wing fold cylinders will slowly extend to full
extension.Make certain that thecylinders do
not contact machine parts while extending
and retracting.
NOTE: thewingfold cylindersmaycontain
a restrictor in the circuit for safety. This
restrictor can make the charging of the
system seem slow but is necessary. All
wing fold cylinders must be fully charged
and cycled before connecting the rod
ends to the lift brackets.
Once all cylinders have been charged, fully
retracted and fully extended, attach the rod
ends to the noted anchor points (28).
CHARGING TRANSPORT LIFT CIRCUIT
As with the wing fold circuit, support the
cylinderwhile extending andcharging. Once
the circuit has been charged and cycled,
attach the rod ends of the rear transport lift
cylinders to the appropriate anchor points
and secure (24).
REAR PACKER ASSEMBLY
Referring to page (26) assemble the rear
packers to the rear packer frames. Insert
the packer spring, spring retainer and spring
cap.Secure with thehardware noted.Initially
tighten the spring bolt to lightly compress
the spring. Mount the packer wheels and
securely tighten all mounting bolts. Refer to
the operational information on page (27) for
additional information on packer settings.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
Attachthe front hitchcomponents, insert and
secure the all hub & spindles and mount the
tire assemblies.

OPERATIONAL INFORMATION
INITIAL/PRE-FIELD SETTINGS
Once the unit has been fully assembled and
before the units is folded for transport check
toensure thatall hardwarehas beenproperly
tightened to specifications noted. Check to
ensure that there are no loose parts or tools
anywhere on the unit.
Attach the unit to the tractor that will be used
withthe unitandconnect allhoses. Raise the
unit to full height with the main lift cylinders
andhold the leverto purge thesystem. Move
to a flat area, preferably a level concrete
surfaceand position theunit in anopen area.
Activate the transport lift circuit to raise the
rear transport wheels so that the rear of the
unit is carried by the rear packer wheels.
Make certain that all points or attachments
are mounted on the unit before doing any
pre-field settings. NOTE: Any settings
completed in the yard may need to be
altered once the unit is in field use. Pre-
field settings will make the final field
settings less challenging.
Once the main lift system has been purged
and sequenced lower the unit down so the
shanks are 1" to 2" above the ground as
shown below. Measure the distance to the
ground from a point of a shank on the front
rankofthe unit.Picka shankonthe outsideof
themain frameMeasurefrom thesame point
of a shank on outside rear of the unit.
If the main frame is not level front to rear an
adjustment will need to be made to the rear
packer anchor point. Loosen the two anchor
bolts to allow the anchor to slide. Use the
adjust bolt to raise or lower the rear of the
main frame to level the unit.
Checkthe sideto sidelevel ofthe mainframe
in a similar manner. Adjust the remaining
main frame rear packer anchor to level the
unit side to side.
To relieve the pressure on the adjustment
anchors to make the adjusting easier, lower
the unit to the ground to take the load off the
anchors.Adjust as required, fully extend the
cylinders to properly sequence the system
and lower to the unit so the shanks are 1"
to 2" off the ground. Measure as before and
continue to fine tune the unit level.

After the unit has been charged and levelled
it can be winged up to the transport position.
Make certain that the unit is hitched to a
tractor and setting on a level surface when
foldingthe wings.If possible,move theunit to
an area where the ground is not as hard but
has a loose composition. Move all personnel
away from the path of the wings but pay
attention to the components when folding.
Before folding the wings, raise the unit to full
height with the main lift circuit. Activate the
rear transport lift circuit and fully extend the
lift cylinders. Place the channel locks into
position on these rear transport cylinders.
With the front main lift wheel cylinders fully
extended manually remove the hair pin from
the latch rod (18) and rotate the main lift lock
down and latch to the extended lower pivot
pin.Place the latch rodinto position toretain,
securingthe frontlift wheelsintothetransport
position.
NOTE: Channel locks must be locked
in position on the two rear transport lift
cylinders and the front main lift cylinders
must be secured before attempting to fold
the wings or transporting.
Once channel locks are in position, activate
the wing fold circuit and the wings should
began to fold. When folding for the first time
pay attention to the movement of hydraulic
or feed hoses, it may require that hoses be
moved to prevent kinking or pinching.As the
inner wings began to fold the packer wheels
at the hinge point may skid. This should not
be a problem when folding the unit in loose
ground conditions. Skidding can be reduced
by slowly moving forward with the unit as
the wings are folded. Forward movement is
only required when the wing packer wheels
are skidding.
WING FOLDING/UNFOLDING
Continuetofold theinnerwings, thesewings
should fold to a slight over center position.
Oncethe winghave come torest inthe wing
rest clevis active the main lift circuit and pull
the packer wheels up. This is necessary to
allow clearance in the center of the unit and
reduce the transport width.
The front wing rest has provisions to lock
or pin the wing for transport. Insert the lock
pin into the rest clevis and secure with the
provided spring pins.
NOTE: The wings on this unit must be
locked before transporting or storing.
Insert the locking pin in the clevis on
the front wing lock. Make certain that
the wing is unlocked before attempting
to unfold the wings.Approach the wings
from the front when locking or unlocking
the wings, never go into the wing fold
path to lock or unlock the wings.
To unfold the wings reverse the process.
Fully extend the main fold cylinders after
unpinning the wings. Unfold the wings,
moving slowly forward as the packers on
theinner wing contactthe ground.Themain
frame and wing lift wheels and rear packer
wheels must be on the ground to support
the wings when they touch down.
Remove the transport channels from the
rearliftwheel cylindersandstore.Unlock the
frontmainliftwheels cylindersbyrotatingthe
latch arms up and pinning to hold parallel to
the top link arm..
NOTE: Do not allow personnel to walk
under a wing at any time while it is folding
or unfolding. Front gage wheels on the
wings can abruptly rotate as the wings
are folded.

This unit should never be transported
without the transport or channel locks
installed in the front and rear transport
cylinders. Store the channel locks on the
storage bars located on the front cross bar
and rear lift axles.
When hitched to the tractor and with a
seeder cart attached to the rear hitch the
whole machine is quite long. Care must be
taken when transporting. When turning the
seederunit willrotateaboutthereartransport
wheels requiring a large turning radius.
Never transport the complete unit at high
speeds during field use or on the highway.
(MAXIMUM TRANSPORT SPEED - 25
M.P.H.) Make certain the tractor is properly
weighted to handle the heavy pull load. Use
care when moving across uneven ground or
poorroads.Donot transportatunsafespeeds
onnarrow ,rough roads. Donot carrythe unit
off the side of the road where the right side
carrying wheels are off the main roadbed. If
it is necessary to move off the road to allow
traffic to pass, pull off the road slowly or stop
and allow traffic to pass.
Use caution when backing the unit up when
attached to the seeder supply tank.
STORAGE
Unit should be stored inside and unfolded
if possible Park the unit in a flat, level area.
Unfoldthe wings to remove theload from the
main frame carrying wheels. NOTE: Never
remove the main transport channel locks
and lower the unit to the ground with the
main wing folded.
I
If the unit is parked on a soft surface place
support under the lift wheels to prevent
sinking into the ground. When storing the
unit at any time, if hitched to a tractor or not,
always relieve the pressure to the wing fold
circuit.Thiscanbeaccomplishedby usingthe
float circuit of the tractor. Move the hydraulic
lever to the float position to relieve pressure
in the wing fold circuit before turning off or
unhitching the tractor.
FIELD OPERATIONS
Followingthecompletionof theassembleand

Set the initial depth of operation without
using any stop collars. Stop and check the
depth of operation of the main frame. Install
the required amount of stop collars in the
main frame cylinders to place the unit at the
desired working depth. The cylinders should
be fully retracted and held by stop collars.
Check the front and rear and side to side
depthof operation andadjust the rearpacker
adjustment anchor or front lift axles as noted
in the PRE-FIELD SETTINGS instructions.
Oncemainframeis settodesired depth,raise
the unit to full height and hold for 1 minute.
Place the same combination of stop collars
in all remaining lift cylinders. Lower the unit
into the ground while moving forward and
stop. Check the depth and level of the wings
and readjust as noted in the PRE-FIELD
SETTINGS if required.

4010 ATD LT ASSY/OPER/PARTS MANUAL (74303) 12/08
If main frame or wing depth needs to be
changed to be level, do not add or remove
stop collars from that cylinder. Readjust
the various adjustment anchors.
With a sequencing lift system if one cylinder
is stopped by use of additional stop collars
all cylinders in the circuit will stop and the
depth settings on the remaining cylinders in
the circuit will be impacted. All lift cylinders
should use the same combination or
amount of stop collars.
Move through the field and observe the
general operation of the unit. Check the
movement of the rear packers arms. If there
is excessive vertical movement or bouncing
of the packers wheels it may require that the
packercompression spring betightened. It is
generally best to have limited pivoting of the
packerarmswhen seeding.Armsshould only
rotate when encountering a large soil mound
or rocks. Tighten the lock nut on the packer
spring to increase the holding force.
As with all machinery it will be necessary to
check the tightness of all hardware after 4-6
hoursofuse. Asthevarious componentsseat
there will be parts that need to be adjusted.
Hardware that is retaining parts that do not
rotate or move should be checked after the
first day of use and weekly after that. Parts
such as packer wheel pivots or parts that
need to wear in or seat should be checked
and adjusted more frequently.
Referto theGREASING informationon Page
44 for grease locations and frequency.
TIRE INFLATION
Thefront lift and reartransport tires (31x13.5
12 ply) should be inflated to 60-65 PSI. If
there appears to be sidewall flex in these lift
tires the pressure can be increased to 70-75
PSI.
Therearpacker tires can be set at15-20PSI
dependingonpackingandloadrequirements.
A lower setting will allow the tires to pack a
somewhat wider area and shed mud, but
there must be sufficient tire pressure to limit
sidewall flex and support the rear weight of
the unit. Set initial pressure to 15 PSI and
increase or decrease as conditions dictate.

SAFETY
Safety decals appear at various locations on
your machine. The decals are provided for your
safety and must be kept clean. Replace any
decal that becomes worn, damaged, painted
over or otherwise dicult to read. Replacement
decals are available through your specied
dealer contact.
BEFORE OPERATING
Use extreme care when making adjustments.
When working under or around the machine
always lower shanks to the ground. It is not
recommended to set points with cast inserts
on cement as the impact may break the cast-
ing. We recommend setting blocks under the
shank to keep points from resting on cement.
After servicing, be sure all tools, parts, or service
equipment is removed from the machine.
Make sure there is no one near the machine
before or during operation.
DURING OPERATION
Reduce speed when cornering on eld ends and
when operating on or across dead furrows.
Do not attempt to remove any obstruction
while the machine is in motion.
Use extreme care when operating close to
ditches, fences or on hillsides.
No one other than the operator should ride on
the tractor.
Before and during operation be sure no one is
on or around the implement. Serious injury can
result from improper use.
ON HIGHWAY OPERATION
Comply with your local laws governing highway
safety when moving machinery on a highway.
Reduce road speed on corners.
Drive at a responsible speed to maintain com-
plete control of the machine at all times.
An S.M.V. emblem and safety lights must be
used at all times while traveling on public
roads.
