MAINTENANCE
Roller Wheels
IMPORTANT
To maximize seed germination, peaks on rear wheels
should line up with valleys on the front wheels. This
will require adjusting both end clamps on the rear
tube drum and moving the wheels until valleys and
peaks line up. 4K913 Turfmaster Sprockets may be
added between the rear wheels to improve the
alignment of the peaks and valleys. Add as many
sprockets between the wheels as required to achieve
proper alignment. Each sprocket is 3/8” wide.
Adjustment Procedure
NOTE
Failure to locate the clamp band bolt over the weld will
cause clamp band to loosen and slide.
Adjust the front roller wheels first. Loosen clamp bands
and slide the wheels snug against each other, centering
the entire assembly under the deflector shields. Locate
the bolt in the clamp band over the weld on the pipe.
Slide the clamp band against the end wheel and tighten
the clamp band bolt.
To adjust the rear roller wheels follow the front wheel
procedure. Start aligning the peaks of the rear wheels
with the valley of the front wheels at the center of the rear
roller. This will provide the best alignment of worn
wheels.
Figure 4-8: Roller Wheel Adjustment
Agitator Box Slide
When properly adjusted, the holes in the slide should line
up with the holes in the box, when the control handle is
set at “6”. To make an adjustment:
1.
Loosen the control handle wing nut and move the
slide until the holes line up.
2.
Move the handle to “0”. Holes in the box should
be
completely covered. If not, continue to step 3.
3.
Loosen the three bolts holding the shift plate casting
and move it slightly so that the “0” mark is farther
from the control handle.
4.
Re-tighten the bolts.
5.
Check that the holes in the bottom of the box are fully
covered at the “0” position.

The battery operated acre counter uses 3 AA batteries.
The acre counter will display “LObat” when the batteries
require replacement. Remove the acre counter from the
implement and then the 4 screws on the back of the case.
Separate the housing from the rear plate. Replace with 3
quality AA batteries.
