OPERATION


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.

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.
