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.
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.
MAINTENANCE
STEP 1. Regularly inspect the residue manager for loose or worn bolts. Repair and replace as
needed.
