NOTICE
Never strike knife with heavy object. Damage to knife will occur.
If knife to disc blade clearance is too large, soil or residue can
wedge between knife and blade, and blade will not turn.
1. Adjust knife to disc blade contact. Loosen or tighten ⅜" lock nuts to adjust knife’s entire leading edge against disc
blade. Turn blade and check for slight resistance without freewheeling. Readjust knife to blade’s tight spot as
needed.
NOTICE
Adjust liquid drop tube out of path of soil flow across knife. Drop
tube and tab wear quickly if not correctly adjusted.
2. Adjust scraper and drop tube. Loosen two 5∕16" hex head cap screws. Adjust scraper until just touching disc blade.
Adjust drop tube until it is centered between knife and disc blade. Tighten screws. Turn blade and check for slight
resistance without freewheeling. Repeat as needed. Insert flat bladed pry bar or screwdriver between knife and
drop tube above drop tube tab. Carefully bend tube until .6 to 1 cm from disc blade.
3. Adjust blade depth. Loosen three ½" hex head cap screws and jam nuts in opener mount. Adjust opener assembly
up or down to desired blade depth. Tighten center hex head cap screw and jam nut first to set proper disc blade
angle. Tighten remaining hex head cap screws and jam nuts. Torque hex head cap screws and jam nuts to
57 ft-lb (77.29 N-m). Check fertilizer hose clearance and adjust as necessary.
