Toolbar should operate at 20"-22" height from planting surface. Tire pressures must be maintained at pressures
specified for planter to operate level laterally. Check toolbar and row unit parallel arms are level front to back with
planter lowered to proper operating height.
Five holes in the hitch bracket allow clevis to be raised or lowered. Clevis may be turned over for a finer adjustment
between mounting holes. Torque hardware to 840 ft-lb (1138.8 N-m).
Field and actual planting conditions determine which wheel settings to use to ensure row unit parallel arms are
approximately parallel with planting surface. If planting in extremely soft soil conditions it may be necessary to move
ground drive tires to lower sets of mounting holes. To allow adequate drive force after lowering the ground drive tires,
it may be necessary to lower contact drive arms to lower set of holes in wheel module and relocate down pressure
springs to lower mounting rod on wheel module.
If planter center is higher or lower than wings after rephasing, contact your Kinze Dealer for valve adjustment or
maintenance.
