GENERAL INFORMATION



The 2959 Fertilizer Coulter can be used as a R.H. opener or a L.H. opener, it is recommended that half of
the planter is R.H. assemblies and the other half is L.H. assemblies.

NOTE: The 2959 Fertilizer Coulter is NOT recommended for use in rocky conditions as the coulter arm and
fertilizer tube are susceptible to bending.

For proper operation of the 2959 coulter, a ¼” NPT “Straight Stream” nozzle or a ¼” NPT Female “Nozzle
Body” with orifice plates will be required. Yetter Manufacturing Co. does not supply these parts.

See tip application chart.

BOLT TORQUE


READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST:

1. Improperly tightened bolts will result in damage, breakage, expense, and down time.
2. Always replace bolts with the specified grade and type.
3. Torque properly before first use of the machine and every 2-4 hours of use until you are sure bolts are

staying tight.

4. The chart below is a guide for proper torque. Use it unless a specified torque is called out elsewhere in

the manual.

5. Torque is the force you apply to the wrench handle or the cheater bar, times the length of the handle or

bar.

6. Use a torque wrench whenever possible.
