White MultiRow OmniRow™ Installation Manual
Disassemble the Planter’s Drive System
Note:
The OmniRow system may require the use of some of the machine’s hex drive shafts.
Modifications to the shafts must be made to divide the planter into specific sections. Refer to the
planter-specific guide included with the OmniRow installation kit to identify the planter sections.
Excluding the hex shafts, the planter’s existing drive system is not required for operation once the
OmniRow system is installed. Although it is not required for the entire existing ground drive or
hydraulic transmission(s) to be removed from the planter, it is recommended to do so to help
prevent any interference between the existing planter drive system and the OmniRow system.

1.
Using the planter-specific installation guide included with the OmniRow installation kit, identify the planter
sections the OmniRow system will operate.
Note:
Identify which sections will use the machine’s existing hex shafts and which sections will use the
hex shafts supplied in the kit.
Note:
Before cutting shafts, review the planter’s shaft layout. Some shafts may be switched around,
eliminating the need to cut some shafts.
2.
For the sections that will be using the existing hex shaft, remove the drive shaft couplers or cut the 3/4” hex
shaft as needed so that the planter is separated into the appropriate sections.
Important:
Leave the existing sprocket on the right side of the row unit. The OmniRow system will utilize it and the
existing drive chain to drive the seed meter.
3.
Determine to which row units the OmniRow motors will be mounted and remove the 3/4” hex drive shaft
from those row units.
4.
For sections that will be using the supplied hex shaft, remove the machine’s existing hex shaft.
