1.
Park tractor and seeder on flat level ground, slow
engine to an idle, and place gear selector in park or
set park brake.
2.
With tractor control lever, raise seeder high enough
to place support blocks (#4) under both ends of the
rear packer roller. See “
Important
” note above.
3.
Shut tractor engine off and remove switch key before
dismounting tractor.
4.
Place a solid support block (#4) under the right-hand
skid shoe as shown and a second support block (#4)
under the far left-hand bearing support (not shown).
5.
Reference MPS2609 and MPS2611 seeders only:
Place a 1 1/2" (4 cm) wide solid support block (#5)
under the middle bearing support.
6.
Restart tractor and lower seeder until the rear roller
assembly is resting on the support blocks.
7.
Shut tractor engine off and remove its switch key.
8.
Check spiked roller clamps (#2) and rear roller
wheels (#3) to ensure they all rotate freely. If they do
not rotate freely, repeat steps 2-8.
9.
Loosen 3/8"-16 hex nuts (#2) on all plain rear roller
clamps (#6) and all spike roller clamps (#1A, #1B,
#1C, & #1D). Note, clamp (#1D) is not included with
MPS2609 shown in Figure 8-5.
IMPORTANT:
Use only support blocks that are
made of solid hard wood or steel. Do not use
concrete blocks. Support blocks must support the
spikes off the ground and must not interfere with rear
roller wheel and spike rotation.
IMPORTANT:
Adjust spiked roller clamp bolts 60
o
clockwise from the previously tightened clamp to
ensure continuous spike engaged with the ground.
10. Adjust rear rollers (#3) as follows. Do not exceed
notched clearances in the rear scraper bars (#7).
MPS2607
a. Slide all rear roller wheels (#3) and spiked roller
clamps (#6) towards the center of the rear packer
roller assembly until all slack is removed.
b. Continue with step 11 below.
MPS2609 & MPS2611
a. On the left-hand rear roller assembly, slide all
roller wheels (#3) and plain roller clamps (#6)
toward the center until all slack is removed.
b. Tighten all nuts (#2) on the plain roller clamps (#6)
to the correct torque.
c. On the right-hand rear roller assembly, slide all
roller wheels (#3) and spiked roller clamps (#1A,
#1B, #1C, & #1D) toward the center until all slack
is removed.
d. Continue with step 11 below.
11. Tighten nuts (#2) on roller clamp (#1A) to the correct
torque for a 3/8"-16 GR5 bolt.
12. Rotate clamp (#1B) 60
o
clockwise from clamp (#1A)
and tighten its nuts (#2) to the correct torque.
13. Rotate clamp (#1C) 60
o
clockwise from clamp (#1B)
and tighten its nuts (#2) to the correct torque.
14. If included, rotate clamp (#1D) 60
o
clockwise from
clamp (#1C) and tighten its nuts (#2) to the correct
torque.
15. Restart tractor and raise seeder up. Pull ahead
several feet and lower seeder to the ground.
16. Shut tractor engine off and remove switch key.
17. Store support blocks for future roller wheel
adjustments.
