Preparation and Setup
This section helps you prepare the dry fertilizer feature of
your YP2425F-2470, YP4025F-1630 and YP4025F-1670
planter for use, and covers tasks that need to be done
seasonally, or when the tractor/planter configuration
changes.
Before using the planter in the field, you must hitch it to a
suitable tractor, inspect systems and level the planter,
per the instructions in the 401-406M (YP2425) or
401-571M (YP4025) Operator manual. Before using the
planter for the first time, and periodically thereafter,
certain adjustments and calibrations are required. See
the Operator manual for these procedures.
Initial Setup
See the Operator manual, Appendix B, for pre-delivery
and first-time setup items for the basic planter.
First-time/infrequent setup tasks for the
YP24/YP40 DF/seeder feature include:
• Verify monitor setup (page 53 in this manual).
Post-Delivery/Seasonal Setup
On initial delivery, use with a new tractor, and seasonally,
check and as necessary, complete these items before
continuing to the routine setup items:
• Inspect fertilizer meter door seals for leaks or wear.
• Inspect fertilizer meter flutes for damage or wear.
Hitching and Leveling
The YP24/YP40 DF/seeder feature causes no changes
to the hitching procedures described in the planter
Operator manual.
