MACHINE OPERATION
IMPORTANT: failure to properly set the planter frame height and levelness can
result in less than successful operation of the planter and the Yetter product and
may result in damaged equipment. All operators should read and thoroughly
understand the instructions given prior to using the Yetter product.
NOTE: DO NOT use this product if the planter is not adjusted properly!
Leveling the planter:
With the planter lowered to proper operating height
(Usually 20”-22”). Read the
planter operator’s manual for recommended setting
. Check to be sure the toolbar
and row unit parallel arms are level fore and aft. Re-check when the planter is in the
field and has been fully loaded with seed, fertilizer, granular chemicals, etc. Also, a
field check with a bubble level on the frame should be made of the hitch height to
ensure level operation front to back.
It is important for the planter to operate level laterally. Tire pressure must be
maintained at pressures specified by the manufacturer.
Field and actual planting conditions change and will dictate planter frame heights. You
must ensure that the row unit parallel arms are approximately parallel with the ground.
IMPORTANT: For proper operation of the planter attachments and row units, it is
imperative that the planter toolbars and row unit parallel arms be level side-to-side and
front-to-
rear. The toolbar frame should operate at a 20”-22” height from the
planting
surface
. Check the manufacturer’s operator’s manual for instructions on how to adjust
the frame height and levelness.
