Press Wheel Stagger
To change the press wheel stagger:
1. Raise the planter and secure with blocks.
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:
1. Determine how far and in which direction the
press wheel assembly needs to move to center
the wheels.
2. Raise the planter and secure with blocks.
3. Loosen the 1/2 inch bolts (2 and 3).
Do not loosen the two front bolts (5).
4. Turn the hex head cam (4) under the bolt (2), and
move the required amount.
5. Tighten both bolts.

Unit Mount Coulters
Sharp Object Hazard
Row cleaner tines, casting edges, and coulter
blades are sharp. To avoid serious injury, wear
gloves when working in this area.
Crushing Hazard
Make sure machine is secure before working
on the machine. A falling machine can cause
severe injury or death.
The best operating depth for coulters is 1/4 in. (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
adjusting.
Adjust the coulter depth by mounting the coulter
blade in one of the three mounting holes on the
coulter bracket.
1. Raise and secure the planter.
Row units may be fully lowered or locked up. Do
not attempt to move the blade when the current
or new position causes it to contact the ground
during adjustment.
2. Determine the current opener and coulter
depths.
3. Determine which new hole will position the
coulter closer to the 1/4 in. (6 mm) depth by the
using the table below.
