Individual Row Hydraulic
Downforce for DB60
Planters

Introduction IMPORTANT:

• Read through this instruction thoroughly and familiarize yourself with the machine before performing the procedure. Do not skip steps or perform them out of order.
• The acronym FWD stands for: Frame Weight Distribution. The graphics shown in this procedure have parts removed for clarity. Right-hand and left-hand sides are determined by facing in the direction of forward travel.
• This instruction demonstrates the proper procedure for removing the existing pneumatic downforce system and installing the supplied hydraulic downforce system on the following planters.

• DB60: 24R30, 36R20, 47R15, 48R15

General

Face-Seal-Fitting Assembly and Installation—All Pressure Applications
Face-Seal O-Ring to Stud End Installation

1. Inspect the fitting surfaces. They must be free of dirt and/or defects.

2. Inspect the O-ring. It must be free of damage and/or defects.

3. Lubricate O-rings using system oil, and install into groove.

4. Push O-ring into groove so O-ring is not displaced during assembly.

5. Index angle fittings and tighten by hand pressing joint together to insure O-ring remains in place. 6. Tighten fitting or nut to torque value shown on the chart per dash size stamped on the fitting. DO NOT allow hoses to twist when tightening fittings.

Face-Seal Adjustable Stud End O-Ring Installation
1. Back off the lock nut and washer to full exposed turned down section of the fitting.
2. Install a thimble over the fitting threads to protect the O-ring from nicks.
3. Slide the O-ring over the thimble into the turned down section of the fitting.
4. Remove thimble

Face-Seal Straight Stud End O-Ring Installation
1. Install a thimble over the fitting threads to protect the
O-ring from nicks.
2. Slide the O-ring over the thimble into the turned down section of the fitting.
3. Remove thimble.

Fitting Installation
1. Install fitting by hand until snug.
2. Position adjustable fittings by unscrewing the fitting no
more than one turn.
3. Apply assembly torque per table.
Assembly Torque
1. Use one wrench to hold the connector body and one
wrench to tighten nut.
2. For a hydraulic hose, it may be necessary to use three
wrenches to prevent twist; one on the connector body,
one on the nut, and
