Row Cleaner Depth
Make adjustments to wheel placement (page 14) before
setting row cleaner depth. Changing placement changes
depth. Make any planned changes to opener disk height
(T-handle) before adjusting row cleaner.
Sharp Object Hazards:
Be careful when working around
row cleaners. Tines and disk
corners are sharp. Coulter blades present are sharp. Use a
jack or block to support the tines while setting the adjuster.
Selecting Depth
Refer to Figure 20 (which depicts a UMC-RC)
Set the depth so that the row cleaner tines are at or
slightly above the soil line.
Monitor your results, and adjust the height as needed to
clear residue but not overly disturb soil (or trench).
Row Cleaner Lock-Up
To prevent a row cleaner from operating at all, set the
height to maximum.
Adjusting UMRC Depth
Equipment Damage Risk:
For planter model YP825AR, on the row unit immediately left
of the center pivot, do use the top two holes of the vertical
tube. If those holes are used, the row cleaner can contact the
center pivot.
Refer to Figure 21
1.
Remove the bent pin from the adjustment tube .
2. Raise the row cleaner arm to slightly higher than
desired operating height and support it at this height.
3. Slide the tube up until the round cross-tube
contacts the arm.
4. Re-insert the bent pin in whichever hole pair aligns.
Secure with cotter pin. The minimum height
increment at the tines is about
3 ⁄
8 inch (19 mm).
5. Relax the cleaner arm on the cross-tube and check
height relative to opener disks.
