Procedure:
1) Remove hub cap by turning clockwise with a pipe wrench or large
adjustable wrench
– these caps have left hand thread to prevent loosening
during field rotation.
2) If plunger is frozen in cap, remove allen head set screw on top of plunger
and apply penetrating oil on both sides of plunger. Let this stand for a few
minutes and try to remove. If it will not back out with allen wrench, lock
vise grips on the inside portion and turn out through inside of hub.
3) Clean all hub cap surfaces, install new o-ring, coat plunger and set screw
with di-electric grease and install as outlined above.
4) Re-install hub cap and tighten firmly. Re-adjust as outlined above
5) All EC models, 2014 and above, have a carbide insert silver soldered on
the spindle to prevent wear from the spring plunger. It should require no
maintenance, unless the silver solder bond breaks and allows the insert to
detach from spindle. Contact Veris Service for repair instructions.
Note:
If you are still unable to obtain favorable resistance readings, check for excessive corrosion
at the coulter blade mounting bolts, or the terminal located near the coulter pivot.
