OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

- MACHINE OPERATION
IMPORTANT: failure to properly set the planter frame height
and levelness can result in less than successful operation of the
planter and the Yetter product and may result in damaged
equipment. All operators should read and thoroughly
understand the instructions given prior to using the Yetter
product.
NOTE: DO NOT use this product if the planter is not adjusted
properly!
Leveling the planter:
With the planter lowered to proper operating height (Usually 20”-
22”). Read the planter operator’s manual for recommended
setting. Check to be sure the toolbar and row unit parallel arms are
level fore and aft. Re-check when the planter is in the field and has
been fully loaded with seed, fertilizer, granular chemicals, etc. Also,
a field check with a bubble level on the frame should be made of the
hitch height to ensure level operation front to back.
It is important for the planter to operate level laterally. Tire pressure
must be maintained at pressures specified by the manufacturer.
Field and actual planting conditions change and will dictate planter
frame heights. You must ensure that the row unit parallel arms are
approximately parallel with the ground.
IMPORTANT: For proper operation of the planter attachments and
row units, it is imperative that the planter toolbars and row unit
parallel arms be level side-to-side and front-to-rear. The toolbar
frame should operate at a 20”-22” height from the planting surface.
Check the manufacturer’s operator’s manual for instructions on how
to adjust the frame height and levelness.
