NOTE: During assembly be sure to align the grease-fitting hole in all the components to assure
proper lubrication of the bearing. Use a general-purpose grease before use of the Residue
Managers.
STEP 6.
Fasten the R.M. wheel assemblies to the 2967-273 combo arm using 5/8” lock
washers and 5/8” hex nuts. Adjust the bearing shield to top dead center, rotated forward.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Where rocks are present the residue manager should be set in the
“float” position, not locked down.
STEP 1.
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. Use a ½” drive socket wrench for leverage when changing
depth settings. To adjust the R.M. wheels deeper, raise the quick adjust handle and to
adjust the R.M. wheels shallower – lower the quick adjust handle. By removing the lowest
bolt on the 2967-559 slide bar the residue manager wheels can be allowed to “float” and the
quick adjust will act as a down stop. If residue managers are set to “float”, check for
clearance with drive shafts and frames.
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.
