PL5800 Planter Table of Contents Index Operation
The Keeton seed firmer is provided with a preset
tension which is recommended for the first year of
planting. The tension screw (1) can be tightened
after the first, according to your needs. The seed
firmers should provide just enough tension to push
seeds to the bottom of the trench.
Measure the distance from the ground to the head of
the tension screw. The distance should be 4 to 4 1/2
inches (10.2 to 11.4 cm).
If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the bolts in the
mounting bracket and select different holes until the
proper measurement is reached.
Seed-Lok Firming Wheels (Option)
The optional Seed-Lok firming wheels provide
additional seed-to-soil contact. The wheels are
spring loaded and do not require adjusting.
In some wet and sticky conditions, the wheels may
accumulate soil.To avoid this problem, you can lock
up the firming wheels.
To lock up the firming wheels:
1. Raise the planter and insert lift assist cylinder
locks.
The illustration shows a row unit with disks,
side depth wheels/arm, and press wheels
removed. This is not necessary to lock or
unlock the firming wheels.
2. Light the handle (1) until the lever stop (2) is free
to rotate.
3. Rotate the lever stop to the side/idle position (3).
4. Release the lockup handle.
5. Push up on the firming wheel (4) until the wheel
arm latches up (5).
To release a locked up firming wheel:
1. Insert a 1/4 inch tool drive tip in the tool hole (6)
of the handle (1). Alternatively, lift up on the
wheel (4).
2. Rotate the handle clockwise, with the handle arm
up, until the firming wheel releases at the latch
point (5) and falls free.
3. While holding the handle up, rotate the raised
portion of the lever stop (2) under both sides of
the handle at the arm end.
4. Remove the drive tool.
Engage the lever stop under the handle when the
Seed-Lok is in use. If left disengaged (3), a furrow
obstruction could cause unintended lockup.
