Assembly Instructions
Your Vantage I Coulter and Zone Coulter comes
to you completely assembled. Follow the instruc-
tions below for mounting.
Refer to Figure 1
1. Mount coulter blade (1) to hub using bolts (2),
and flange nuts (3). Tighten nuts. Refer to
“Torque Values Chart” above for proper
torque.
2. Lock set screws (4) & (5) in swivel coulter
casting (6) and swivel collar (7) into the drilled
dimples in vertical shaft (8). (Purchased sep-
arately.)
3. Mount clamp brackets (purchased separate-
ly) with coulter vertical shaft to tool bar. Adjust
vertically and align with furrow unit as de-
sired, so coulter assembly is running true with
furrow unit.
4. Back off lower set screw in swivel coulter
casting (6) and lock jam nut (9) on set screw
(5).
5. Bolt the tine extension arm (10) to the coulter
swing arm using hex flange screws (12),
hardened washers (13) & hex flange nut (3).
DO NOT tighten at this time.
6. Bolt the above assembly to (14) using the hex
flanged bolts (12), hardened washers (13),
and flanged nuts (3) to the back extension
arm (14).
7. Bolt the spring tine (15) to the inside of the
back extension arm in the hole for your de-
sired depth using bolt (16), flat washer (17)
and flange nut (3). This vertical adjustment
can be made by remounting the spring tine in
another hole in the back extension arm. Be
conscious of the horizontal movement of the
tine when adjusting the height by sliding up or
down the coulter swing arm. The desired hor-
izontal location of the tine is between 1" and 1
1/2" behind the blade.
8. With the tine set at the desired depth and an-
gle, tighten all hardware.
9. Some planters require extension brackets to
use the Vantage I Fertilizer Coulter. See pag-
es 16-29 for a list of available brackets.
