OPERATION
CAUTION:
Where rocks are present the residue manager should be set in the “float”
position, not locked down.
STEP 1.
Adjust the residue manager to move crop residue aside and not move any soil.
Adjustments to the residue manager may have to be made when changing field conditions
and type and amount of residue. Use the handle for leverage when changing depth settings.
“FLOAT SETTINGS”
To raise the wheels, lift the 2967-282 and move the slide toward the rear.
To lower the wheels move the slide toward the front.
“RIGID SETTING”
To raise the wheels, lift the 2967-282 Combo Arm to the desired position and insert the pin.
To lower the wheels, lower the combo arm to the desired position and insert the pin.
ROW CLEANER DO’S AND DON’TS
1. DO NOT move soil; Residue Managers are designed to move crop
residue only.
2. DO NOT operate planter at slow speeds, ground speed affects how
aggressive the spoke wheels are; operate at sufficient speed (4-6 mph)
to maintain good residue flow.
3. DO NOT expect 100% of crop residue to be cleared, it is not necessary
and would necessitate engaging the soil. The width of path cleared
depends on ground conditions, depth setting and ground speed.
4. DO expect to see wheels occasionally quit turning, indicates ideal
(shallow) setting which is not moving soil.
5.
DO adjust toolbar frame height 20”-22” and drawbar correctly. Very
important to ensure planter opener
will follow ground contours
properly.
IMPORTANT: For proper operation, the planter frame must operate level (for, aft and side to side)
and at the correct height, typically 20”-22”.
