7.3 Row Finder
When defoliating, the row finder wands should be adjusted like Figure 7 -
8 such that there is 5 in. (12.7 cm) of contact between the ground and
row finder wands. Adjustment spring (B), shown in Figure 7
- 9, can be ad-
justed to apply more down pressure to ensure constant contact with the
beet row.
Likewise, the row finder wands should be angled down when lifted out
of the ground as shown in Figure 7
- 9. Dimension (A) can be adjusted us-
ing nuts (D).
Adjusting Height (E):
1. To change height (E) of the row finder, loosen bolts (C).
2. Adjust jam nuts (G) to desired height.
3. After adjusting height (E), retighten bolts (C).
NOTE: The wands should be angled down slightly when the machine is out of the ground. This will
create down pressure from spring (B) when the machine is lowered to digging depth.
