Yetter 2940 Short Floating Air Adjust Residue Manager - Manual (Page 58)

58
OPERATION
Adjust the residue manager to move crop residue aside and not move any soil. Adjustments to
the residue manager may have to be made when changing field conditions and type and amount
of residue.
ROW CLEANER DO’S AND DON’TS
1. DO NOT move soil; Residue Managers are designed to move crop residue only.
2. DO NOT operate planter at slow speeds, ground speed affects how aggressive the
spoke wheels are; operate at sufficient speed (4-6 mph) to maintain good residue
flow.
3. DO NOT expect 100% of crop residue to be cleared, it is not necessary and would
necessitate engaging the soil. The width of path cleared depends on ground
conditions, depth setting and ground speed.
4. DO expect to see wheels occasionally quit turning, indicates ideal (shallow) setting
which is not moving soil.
5. DO adjust toolbar frame height 20”-22” and drawbar correctly. Very important to
ensure planter opener will follow ground contours properly. See Page 57 for the
planter levelness and height.
IMPORTANT: For proper operation, the planter frame must operate level (fore, aft and side to
side) and at the correct height, typically 20”-22”.
Regularly inspect the residue manager for
loose or worn bolts. Repair and replace as needed.
