Lubrication and Maintenance

Inspect each drag closing attachment and replace any
worn or broken parts before storing planter. Check for
loose hardware and tighten as needed.

Gauge wheels should lightly contact opener blades to prevent accumulation of dirt or trash. Gauge wheels and opener
blades should turn with only slight resistance.

Add or remove machine bushings between shank and gauge wheel arm to adjust clearance between gauge wheels
and opener blades. Store remaining machine bushings between gauge wheel arm and flat washer on outer side of
gauge wheel arm.

NOTE: It may be desirable to space gauge wheel further from blade when operating in sticky soils.
