Operating and Assembly Instructions
Operating and Assembly Instructions
5
Most accidents are the result of negligence and
carelessness, usually caused by failure of the operator to follow simple but necessary safety
precautions. The following safety precautions are
suggested to help prevent such accidents. The
safe operation of any machinery is a big concern
to consumers and manufactures.Your Vantage I
Coulter and Zone Coulter have been designed
with many built-in safety features. However, no
one should operate this product before carefully
reading this Operators Manual.
General Operation & Repair
Never allow the Vantage I Coulter and Zone
Coulter to be operated by anyone who is unfamiliar with the operation of all functions of the unit. All
operators should read and thoroughly understand
the instructions given in this manual prior to moving the unit.
1. Make sure safety rules are understood before
operating machinery or tractor.
2. Never permit any persons other than the op-
erator to ride on the tractor.
3. Never permit any persons to ride on or stand
near the drill while it is in operation.
11. Detach and store implements in an area
where children normally do not play. Stabilize
implements by using suitable supports and
block wheels.
12. If a hydraulic leak develops, correct it immediately. Escaping hydraulic oil can have extremely high pressure. A stream of high
pressure oil may easily penetrate the skin as
with modern needle-less vaccination equipment - but with the exception that hydraulic fluid may cause blood poisoning. It is imperative
that the connections are tight and that all lines
and pipes are in good condition. If an injury is
caused by the escaping hydraulic fluid, see
doctor at once!
13. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to detect
leaks of hydraulic oil under pressure.
14. Be sure to relieve all hydraulic pressure before
disconnecting any lines or pipes between the
implement and the tractor hydraulic system.
Keep all guards and shields in place.
4. Regulate your speed to the field conditions,
maintaining complete control at all times.
5. After repairing or adjusting, make sure all
tools and parts are removed from the implement before attempting to operate it.
6. Do not grease or oil machine while it is in operation.
7. Loose fitting clothing should not be worn as it
may catch in moving parts.
8. Never dismount from a moving tractor.
9. Do not leave the tractor or the implement unattended with the engine running.
10. Do not stand between the tractor and the implement during hitching.

“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 separately.)
3. Mount clamp brackets (purchased separately) with coulter vertical shaft to tool bar. Adjust
vertically and align with furrow unit as desired, 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 desired 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 horizontal location of the tine is between 1" and 1
1/2" behind the blade.
8. With the tine set at the desired depth and angle, tighten all hardware.

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.
Depth Adjustments
Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3
Set the tine applicator to run the bottom of the tine
approximately 1” below the surface of the soil.
{The tine can be set to run deeper but will cause
excessive wear and increase plugging.} Set the
tine approximately 1” behind the coulter blade in a
vertical or slightly back swept position. The main
objective is to position the tine and nozzle in the
pocket or void created by the soil as it is leaving
the back of the coulter blade while running. This
will allow the nozzle to shoot the fertilizer to the
bottom before the soil can fill back in the trench

Side To Side Adjustment
Refer to Figure 4
1. Remove the 1/2" hex flange nut (1), and flat
washer (4) holding the tine (9) to the back arm
(6).
2. Center the tine behind the coulter blade by
adding or removing the 3/16" rectangular
spacer washers (10) which fit between the
back arm (6) and the fertilizer tine clip (8).
Store unused spacer washers on the opposite side of the back arm.
3. If a finer adjustment is necessary to center
the tine behind the coulter blade, place a 1/2"
flat washer (4) between the front arm (7) and
back arm (6) to shim them apart. Store unused washers on the outside of the back arm
under the
1/2" flange nuts. Once the tine is centered behind the coulter blade, make sure it is straight
with the blade and adjust the side to side rotation of the tine

Side To Side Rotation
Refer to Figure 5
1. The fertilizer tine must be straight with the
coulter blade as well as centered behind it. To
alter the side to side rotation of the tine, first
remove the hex flange nuts (1) holding the
back arm (6) to the front arm (7).
2. To rotate the bottom of the tine counterclockwise, place one 1/2" flat washer (4), between
the front arm (7) and back arm (6) on the upper hex flange bolt (2), and retighten the hex
flange nuts. Extra washers are stored behind
the hex flange nuts.

Front To Back Adjustment
Refer to Figure 5
1. Loosen the hex flange nuts (1) holding the
back arm (6) to the front arm (7).
2. Rotate the back arm assembly until the tine
reaches the desired position. It is recommended to run the tine in a vertical or slightly
swept back position.
3. Make sure the tine also has the correct front
to back distance behind the coulter and retighten the hex flange nuts.
Up & Down Adjustment
Refer to Figure 6
The bottom of the fertilizer coil tine nozzle should
be set approximately 1" to 1 1/2" below the surface of the soil when the fertilizer coulter is set for
the desired fertilizer placement depth. This allows
the nozzle to inject the fertilizer to the bottom of
the coulter trench before soil can fill back in. Running the nozzle deeper than 1 1/2" may cause
excessive wear and increase plugging problems.
1. To adjust the tine depth, remove the 1/2" hex
flange nut (1), and flat washer (4) holding the
coil tine (9) to the back arm (6).
Figure 6
Up & Down Adjustment

Size Selection Of Spray Tip Or
Nozzle
Based on the chemical manufacturer’s recommendations on GPA application rates and
nozzle types, a suitable spray tip size is chosen
from the catalog tabulations. Since all the tabulations are based on spraying water, which
weighs 8.34 lbs. per USA gallon, conversion
factors must be used when spraying solutions
which are heavier or lighter than water. To arrive at the rate of solution to be sprayed multiply the conversion factor by the tabulated
GPM and GPA rates shown in this manual.
