Initial Seeding Depth
1.
Set opener seeding depth by adjusting press-wheel
height
. To adjust, first raise openers slightly, then
lift and slide T-handles
on top of openers Adjust all
press wheels to the same height. T handles adjust at
1
4
in (6.4mm) seeding depth change per minimum
handle step.
• For more shallow seeding, slide T handles
forward
toward implement.
• For deeper seeding, slide T handles backward
away from implement.
2.
While seeding, remember:
• Raise openers before turning. Never back up or
turn sharply with openers in the ground. Doing so
will plug openers and may damage equipment.
• Check periodically for plugged openers and
hoses.
For information on opener adjustments, see “
” on page 53. For information on
troubleshooting opener problems, see

Acremeter Operation
The acremeter
a
counts shaft rotations whenever the
shaft is rotating - normally this is only with the Three
Section 3000 Folding Drill lowered and in motion. The
meter is programmed to display rotations as acres or
hectares, when using all rows, factory-specified tires and
tire inflations.
NOTE:
Unusual conditions and/or non-standard row
spacings can cause the acremeter tally to vary
somewhat from actual acres planted.
Acremeters supplied with model 3S-3000/F/HD/HDF
drills have varied over time. For operational details
(modes, resets, calibration), see the manual supplied
with the acremeter:
