4. The drive wheel should be in the fourth mounting
hole (1) from the top. This is the factory
configuration.
The drive wheel axle height may need to be
adjusted due to ground conditions.
5. Check the level of the frame front-to-rear. If not
level, adjust the rear height with the stroke control
spacers.
Stroke Control Spacers
The height of the drill at the rear, when lowered, is
adjusted with a set of stroke control spacers (1). Five
snap-around spacers are stored on the storage rod
for a combined length of 165 mm.
If planting in rolling terrain, it may be necessary to
adjust the lift assist cylinder manually with the tractor
hydraulics to allow the machine to float backwards.
1.
Remove the desired combination of stroke
control spacers from the storage rod (2) and
install on the cylinder rod (3). There is no factory
recommendation for this, as it depends on the
tractor used.
2. Lower the drill until the cylinders rest on the
stroke control spacers.
3. Pull the drill forward to put coulters and openers
in the ground. Make sure that lift-assist casters
are in trailing position. Set the tractor brakes.
4. When the correct level has been achieved, set a
stop, lock, or reference indicator on the tractor’s
hitch control to prevent lowering below drill level.
5. Check the level of the frame front-to-rear. If not
level, adjust the rear height with the stroke control
spacers. If changed, re-check the front tool bar
height, and re-adjust the tractor 3-point lift arms.
Repeat until level.
