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. By removing the adjustment pin the residue
manager wheel 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.
IMPORTANT: For proper operation, the planter frame must operate level (for, aft and
side to side) and at the correct height, typically 20”-22”.
