Great Plains Vantage II Fertilizer Coulters - Manual (Page 9)

7 Adjustments
Spring Adjustments
No down pressure spring adjustment is
necessary on this unit. Initial operating force to
move coulter upwards is 428 pounds. The
preload has proved to be more than adequate for
most No-Till conditions. The torsion spring on the
wheel arm requires no adjustment. This spring
applies adequate down pressure to the wheel.
This controls the soil from being pushed away
from the coulter blade, leaving the furrow as
narrow as possible.
!
CAUTION
Any attempt to make coulter force greater than factory
setting, may contribute to premature failure of parts
and warranty shall be null and void.
Fertilizer Tube Adjustment
Adjustments are made by starting with all three
fertilizer tube mounting bolts tightened the same
amount, compressing the rubber slightly.
To move the fertilizer tube assembly toward the
coulter blade you can either loosen the front bolt
or tighten the two rear bolts evenly. To tilt the
bottom of the tube toward the coulter blade, you
can either tighten the bottom rear bolt or loosen
the top rear bolt.
The desired running distance between the coulter
blade and fertilizer tube assembly is from 1/16" to
1/8".
