Raising And Lowering The Toolbar
Using the “Work Circuit” (hydraulic hoses with the “Blue”
markers) control of the tractor, slowly lower the toolbar
until the center coulters are contacting the ground
(Reverse tractor control to raise the toolbar). The tractor/
implement must be moving when the coulters engage the
ground or damage may occur.
NOTE: During normal operation, the wings will lower
first, the center section will follow.
NOTE: If the coulter assemblies need to be adjusted,
the toolbar will need to be raised.
Setting The Toolbar / Coulter Depth
Check depth while operating in the field.
Adjust toolbar height by adding or removing stroke
control segments to the lift cylinders and adjusting the
height of the gauge wheels. Use equal lengths of
segments on both cylinders.
Figure 31
Stroke control segments (Item 1) [Figure 31] are stored
on both sides of the hitch frame.
Figure 32
Loosen set screws (Item 1) [Figure 32] on a coulter
assembly. Move the assembly up or down to the desired
depth. Tighten the set screws.
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
Before operating the fertilizer applicator, look in all
directions and make sure no bystanders, especially
small children, are in the work area.
Make sure all air is bled from the hydraulic system
before adjusting toolbar height.
Never attempt to fold / unfold the wings unless the
toolbar is in the FULLY RAISED FIELD position.
Failure to comply may result in severe equipment
damage.

It is recommended that the coulters are set so the
injectors or knives place the fertilizer 2” to 3” (50 -
75 mm) below the soil surface. Adjust individual
coulters as needed to obtain the desired depth.
