INTRODUCTION
Read and study manual completely before at-
tempting to operate this implement. Take this
manual to the eld for handy reference when op-
erating, adjusting or servicing the implement.
“Right-Hand” and “Left-Hand” sides of the
machine are determined by standing behind
the implement and facing in the direction of
forward travel.
This symbol identies important safety
messages. When you see it, read the
message that follows and be alert to the pos-
sibility of personal injury.
Remember, safety instructions stated in this
manual are for your protection. Read them
carefully before using this machine.
This manual covers operation, service, parts,
and assembly of your implement.
REMEMBER:
THINK SAFETY
A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE
BEST INSURANCE AGAINST AN
ACCIDENT!
OM-00229-A
No accident-prevention program can be successful without the wholehearted cooperation of
the person who is directly responsible for the operation of the equipment.
Accidents can be prevented only by the operator anticipating the result before the accident
is caused and doing something about it. No power-driven equipment, whether it be transportation
or processing, whether it be on the highway, in the harvest eld, or in the industrial plant, can be
safer than the person who is at the controls. If accidents are to be prevented -- and they can be
prevented -- it will be done by the operators who accept the full measure of their responsibility.
It is true that the designer, the manufacturer, the safety engineer can help; and they will help,
but their combined efforts can be wiped out by a single careless act of the operator.
It is said that, “the best kind of a safety device is a careful operator.” We, at Unverferth Mfg.
Co., Inc. ask that you be that kind of operator.

• Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines or servicing hydraulic system. See the
Maintenance section of this manual for the procedure to relieve pressure.
• Use a piece of cardboard or wood to detect leaks of hydraulic uid under pressure. Correct
hydraulic leaks immediately.
• High-pressure uids can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury or death.
Seek medical treatment immediately if injured by high-pressure uids.
• Never loosen or remove any hydraulic tting without rst verifying that all uid pressure has
been relieved. Failure to do so may result in unintended movement of all or a portion of the
equipment, possibly causing severe injury or death due to crushing or cutting. Injury may also
occur from contact with oil under pressure that may escape during tting removal.
• Hydraulic system must be purged of air before operating to prevent serious injury or death.
• Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines. Do not install bent or damaged tubes or hoses.
• Repair all oil leaks. Leaks can cause res, personal injury, and environmental damage.
• Route hoses and lines carefully to prevent premature failure due to kinking and rubbing against
other parts. Make sure that all clamps, guards and shields are installed correctly.
• Do not relieve hydraulic system pressure by loosening a tting.
• Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Keep hands and body away from hydraulic
leaks which eject uid under high pressure.
• Check hydraulic hoses and tubes carefully. Replace components as necessary if any of the
following conditions are found:
- End fittings damaged, displaced, or leaking.
- Outer covering chafed or cut and wire reinforcing exposed.
- Outer covering ballooning locally.
- Evidence of kinking or crushing of the flexible part of a hose.
- Armoring embedded in the outer cover.
• Use good judgment when transporting equipment on highways. Regulate speed
to road conditions and maintain complete control.
• Maximum speed of implement should never exceed 20 mph. Do not exceed 10
mph during off-highway travel.
• Slow down before making sharp turns to avoid tipping. Drive slowly over rough
ground and side slopes.
• Do not transport unit with rear compartment full and front compartment empty. The
unit may not be properly balanced, offsetting the trail ability of the Seed Runner.

PREPARING IMPLEMENT
SECTION I
OPERATIONS
PREPARING TOWING VEHICLE
Estimated weights of the fully loaded Seed
Runner are:
Model 3750
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is 25,000 lbs.
Loaded tongue weight is 1000 lbs.
Model 2750
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is 19,500 lbs.
Loaded tongue weight is 1000 lbs.
These are estimates. The loaded tongue weight
will vary greatly based on the height of the
hitch, and the variation in terrain that the Seed
Runner is being pulled across.
Towing vehicle hitch – ball or pintle hook, must
be heavy enough to carry the load of the Seed
Runner.

WARNING! DO NOT STAND BETWEEN
IMPLEMENT AND TOWING VEHICLE WHEN
HITCHING.
The Seed Runner Undercarriage is designed to
be connected to a towing vehicle utilizing either
the pintle hitch, or a 2 5/16” ball hitch.
Back the towing vehicle up to the undercar-
riage and align the vehicle’s ball or pintle hook
with the coupler or ring on the undercarriage.
Lower jack to set undercarriage down on ball
or pintle hook. Latch coupler so the connection
is secure. Pivot jack to transport position and
pin in place.
TRANSPORT CHAINS
Connect electrical plug from undercarriage to
towing vehicle. Check routing of the electrical
cord to be certain it is long enough to pivot
when turning, but not too long to touch or rub
the ground during transport.
Connect undercarriage brake breakaway cable
to towing vehicle. Do not connect this directly
to hitch. It needs to be connected in a place
that will still be attached, even if the ball or
pintle coupler fails.
CAUTION! ALWAYS USE TRANSPORT
CHAINS WHEN TRANSPORTING IMPLE-
MENTS. FAILURE TO USE CHAINS COULD
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE IF
IMPLEMENTS BECOME DISENGAGED.
Transport chains should have a minimum rating
equal to the gross weight of implement and all
attachments. Allow no more slack in chains than
necessary to permit turning.
Cross chains when connecting as shown in
photo.
IMPORTANT: Replace transport chains if any link
or end fitting is broken, stretched, or damaged.
DO NOT WELD TRANSPORT CHAINS.
IMPORTANT: Before unit is transported, be sure
the jack stand is in the ‘Transport Position’.

Operation
ADJUSTING HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
RELIEF VALVE:
a. This unit has an adjustable relief valve
which can be adjusted for optimum op-
eration. It is pre-set at the factory to by-
pass the system once the hydraulic fluid
pressure exceeds 1500 psi. This is the
optimum setting for this unit. Adjusting
the relief to higher settings may give un-
satisfactory results.
IMPORTANT: This unit can be adjusted to pro-
vide system pressures from 1,000 PSI up to
2500 PSI. When adjusting the relief to allow
the system to exceed 1500 PSI, the engine
will tend to bog down due to the load and in
high load applications, may cause the engine
to stall.
b. Remove the Pump Cover by loosening
the hex capscrew and lock washer se-
curing it.

1-7
Operation
Position the seed tender next to planter so con-
veyor discharge will be over planter box. Start
engine on hydraulic power unit and increase
throttle speed. Raise conveyor to desired dis-
charge height, and pivot to location over planter.
Place telescoping spout over planter box. Open
door(s) on seed tender box to begin flow of
seed. Turn on conveyor by either sliding manual
control lever or activating electric on/off switch
to on position.
Fill box to desired level, and turn conveyor off.
Repeat process until each box/hopper is filled.
Adjusting engine speed on the hydraulic power
unit can regulate conveyor speed.
IMPORTANT: Do not let telescoping spout rest
in bottom of seed box. Seed will rapidly build
up and plug conveyor, resulting in potential
damage to belt.
It is recommended that the conveyor be emptied
once planter is filled. Do this by closing door(s)
on seed tender box shortly before last planter
box is full, and let conveyor empty out.
Control Rod
NOTE: When using the 8” conveyor to fill indi-
vidual planter boxes, the cover plate must be
installed over grate. This will slow grain flow
to an acceptable level for ease of use. Failure
to do so will result in over-filling conveyor and
potential damage to seed or conveyor.
Leaving seed in the conveyor for short periods
of time will not damage conveyor, nor will it
hinder starting/stopping conveyor when it is full,
but over time seed could begin to settle result-
ing in hard starting of the conveyor.
WARNING! THE REAR HOPPER OF THE
SEED TENDER BOX SHOULD ALWAYS
BE EMPTIED FIRST. THIS WILL MAINTAIN
WEIGHT ON THE HITCH OF THE TOWING VE-
HICLE. EMPTYING THE FRONT HOPPER FIRST
WITH THE REAR HOPPER FULL COULD RE-
SULT IN NEGATIVE TONGUE WEIGHT ON THE
UNDERCARRIAGE AND REDUCED CONTROL
OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE WHEN TOWING.

is located over the seed tender box and the
hopper is on the ground or on the stand away
from the box.

per by sliding lever back, and pull hopper end
of conveyor out from under the seed tender
