1. Determine how far, and in which direction, the
press wheels are not centered over the trench,
the angle (1) of the press wheel assembly can be
adjusted as follows:
2. Raise the planter.
3. Loosen the 1/2 inch bolts (2 and 3).
Do not loosen the two front bolts (5).

Unit Mounted Coulters
Crushing Hazard
Make sure machine is secure before
working on the machine. A falling machine
can cause severe injury or death.
Sharp Objects Hazard
Casting edges and coulter blades are
sharp and may result in injury. Wear hand
protection when working in the area.
The best operating depth for coulters is 1/4 inch (6
mm) above the opener depth. The coulters may have
originally been set to this depth, but coulter and
opener blades wear with time, and may need
adjustments for continued optimal performance.
Adjust the coulter depth by mounting the coulter
blade in one of the six mounting holes on the coulter
bracket.
1. Raise the planter.
2. Dismount the row cleaner, if installed, to reduce
risk of injury.
3. Determine the current opener and coulter depths.
4. Determine which new hole will position the
coulter closer to the 1/4 inch (6 mm) depth by
using the table.
5. Remove the 5/8 x 4 inch bolt, lock washer, and
nut (7).
6. Move the coulter blade to the new position.
7. Install the bolt and washer locker with the nut.
8. Readjust row cleaners, if installed.
If a worn coulter cannot be adjusted to the proper
operation depth, replace the coulter blade.
Coulter Row Adjustment
For unit-mounted coulters, the ideal alignment is for
the blade to open a furrow directly ahead of the
opener disks.
To check alignment, sight along the coulter blade
centerline (1), the gap between the opener blades,
and the centerline between the press wheels. If they
