FURROW V CLOSER MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
A/C 78-79 Air Planters
(Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation)
Before working on your planter or drill
DANGER
:
when storing or working on the planter always install cylinder stops or place the planter on stands to prevent personal injury or damage to the
attachments. Do not allow planter to rest on poly FVC discs as they can warp
Mounting Instructions
Before you begin, verify the “package contents” to ensure all items are included.
Step #1
: Mount the FVC bracket to the planter unit using two 3/8” x 1-1/2” nuts and bolts (fig. (a)).
Step #2
: assemble the disc to shaft with two 3/4” jam nuts so the disc is approxi-
mately 1-3/4” from the shaft. The bearing needs to be toward the outside
(fig. (b)).
Step #3:
position the shaft into the mounting bracket so that there is approximately 1”
pitch out on the front of the disc (fig. (c)). Set the disc (with the planter in the
soil) to a depth of 1/2” (3/4” max.) (fig. (d)). Tighten the set screws making
minor adjustments to the Furrow V Closer while in the field. This will depend
on the planting depth, speed
and conditions. Re-check
and tighten all nuts, bolts,
and set screws.
