Adjustments
1. Loosen the nut (1).
2. Slide the side gauge wheel scraper (2) toward
the side gauge wheel until the scraper touches
the tire.
3. Slide the scraper away from the wheel leaving a
1/2 inch (3 mm) gap (3).
4. Rotate the scraper left and right around the bolt,
making sure it cannot touch the tire if bumped in
the field. If it can touch the tire, back the scraper
away from the wheel until it cannot.
5. Center the scraper angle on the bolt until the gap
(3) is constant.
6. Tighten the nut (1).
Press Wheel Adjustments
Press wheels are attached to each row unit body. The
press wheels close the seed trench and press soil
over the seed.
To provide consistent seed firming, the press wheels
are free to move downward from the normal
operating position. This system maintains closing/
pressing action even if the row unit arm is lifted when
the disks encounter obstructions.
There are three adjustments on the press wheel
assembly:
Down Pressure
. An adjustable spring in the press
wheel mechanism creates the down pressure needed
to close the seed trench. The amount of force needed
will vary with field conditions.
Wheel Stagger
. The factory setting is staggered to
achieve the best residue flow.
Centering
. Press wheels should be centered over the
seed trench.
Increased press wheel spring force may
require increased row unit down force to
maintain depth.
If the press wheel adjustments do not provide
satisfactory furrow closing, your conditions may
require alternate press wheels. A variety of press
wheel assemblies are available. See your Great
Plains dealer for information.
Press Wheel Down Pressure
To adjust the press wheels, move the adjustment T-
handle (1).
For less down pressure, move the T-handle forward
(2) toward the planter.
For more down pressure, move the T-handle back
away (3) from the planter.
Press Wheel Stagger
To change the stagger:
1. Raise the planter.
2. Remove the bolt (1), lock washer (2), and
spacers (3).
3. Reinstall the spacers, press wheel (4), and
hardware to the other hole location (5).
Press Wheel Centering
If one press wheel is running in the seed trench, or
the press wheels are not centered over the trench,
the angle (1) of the press wheel assembly can be
adjusted as follows:
