ADJUSTING HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
Procedure
NOTE: The pressure reducing valve (PR1) controls
the amount of downward pressure applied to
the outer coulters. The adjustment range is
from 800 to 1,500 PSI. The factory setting is
800 to 1,100 PSI, which is adequate for most
conditions.
Move the tractor and fertilizer applicator to a soft level
area.
Engage the parking brake, relieve hydraulic pressure,
turn engine off and leave the operator’s position. (See
“Entering And Leaving The Operator’s Position” on
page 45.)

DOWN PRESSURE ON OUTER COULTERS
• Too much down pressure will put unnecessary
stress on the machine and will put more load on
the gauge wheels.
• Too little pressure may not keep the coulters in
the ground at the proper depth.
Always check with a pressure gauge while the SCV
control lever is left in the detented position. DO NOT
adjust the pressure without a pressure gauge.
DO NOT MAKE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENTS ON HARD / PAVED SURFACE.
