Adjustment
The Eliminator involves two, interrelated adjustments:
• angle of side gauge wheel, and
• distance between side gauge wheel and opener
disk.
Adjust side-gauge-wheel angle so the wheels contact the
opener disks between 4 and 8 o’clock.
At the same time, keep the side gauge wheels close to the
opener disks so the row unit does not plug with soil or
trash, but far enough out so the disks and wheels turn
freely.

To adjust side gauge wheels:
1. Raise implement slightly to remove weight from side
gauge wheels. Secure all transport locks.
2. Move wheel and arm out on o-ring bushing.
3. Turn hex adjuster so roll pin (1) is at 1 o’clock. Use this
as the starting point for adjustment.
4. Move wheel arm in so side gauge wheel contacts
opener disk. Tighten hex-head bolt to clamp arm
around bushing and shank.
5. Check the wheel-to-disk contact. Lift wheel and arm.
When let go, the wheel should fall freely.
• If wheel does not contact disk from 4 to 8
o’clock, move hex adjuster until wheel is angled for
proper contact with disk.
• If wheel does not fall freely, loosen hex-head bolt
and slide wheel arm out just until wheel and arm
move freely. Retighten hex-head bolt.
6. Keep turning hex adjuster and moving wheel arm until
the wheel is adjusted properly. When satisfied, tighten
flange pivot bolt to 110 foot-pounds.
NOTE: Tightening the pivot bolt on the MaxEmerge Plus
row unit will change the position of the side gauge wheel
slightly. Check side gauge wheel for proper position after
tightening pivot bolt.
