INTRODUCTION
The 2960 U.N.T. Unit Mounted Conservation Coulter has been designed as a ‘universal’ fitment for
several makes of planter units.
By using two different mounting plates, the one boxed unit will fit several planters. One of the faceplate
mount brackets will fit the John Deere MaxEmerge 2, Plus and Pro type planters. Another of the faceplate
mount brackets will fit the old style 7000 John Deere units, Kinze, White 6000 and the Yetter planter row
units. Several different styles of blades are available for every tillage practice, every soil type, and every
residue condition, so you can choose the one that’s right for you.

BOLT TORQUE
Mounting bolts and hardware
Before operating the Titan Residue Manager for the first time, check to be sure that all
hardware is tight. Check all hardware again after approximately 50 hours of operation
and at the beginning of each planting season.
All hardware used on the Titan Residue Manager is Grade 5 unless otherwise noted.
Grade 5 cap screws are marked with three radial lines on the head. If hardware must be
replaced, be sure to replace it with hardware of equal size, strength and thread type.
Refer to the torque values chart when tightening hardware.
Important: Over tightening hardware can cause as much damage as when
under tightening. Tightening hardware beyond the recommended range can
reduce its shock load capacity.
The chart below is a guide for proper torque. Use it unless a specified torque is called out
elsewhere in the manual.
Torque is the force you apply to the wrench handle or the cheater bar, times the length of the
handle or bar.
Use a torque wrench whenever possible.
The following table shows torque in ft. lbs. for coarse thread hardware.
Lubricate all bearings and moving parts as assembled and make certain that they work freely.
WARNING: Never work around the toolbar/implement while in a raised position without using
safety lockups.
CAUTION: The Residue manager attachments are very heavy. Pay extra attention to lifting
techniques while handling and or maneuvering the opener during assembly. Failure to do so may
lead to personal injury.

POSITION #
BOLT LOCATION
Adjustment:
Adjust coulter blade depth equal to or above the planter opener blades. Adjust the blade
depth as required for blade wear. Planter blades that are worn to 14 ¼” or smaller in diameter
should be replaced. Example: 14 ¼” blades will have a 3/8” shallower planting depth than 15”
blades at the same gauge wheel adjustment setting.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1. Attach the coulter bracket to the planter unit using (3) ½” x 1-1/2” bolts and lock
nuts. Do no fully tighten hardware, coulter blade alignment to the planter opener will need
to be done later.
STEP 2. Attach the 2960-133 arm assembly to the coulter bracket using the 5/8” x 2”
bolts, 1 5/8” flat washer and lock nuts. When the coulter is set to the desired depth, fully
tighten the 5/8” x 2” bolts.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: For models with residue managers go to STEP 4.
STEP 3. For coulter only models, Attach the blade to the coulter arm assembly using the
4) ½” x 1-1/4” carriage bolts, hex nuts, and lock washers. Fully tighten the carriage bolts.
Torque to 85 ft/lbs.
STEP 4. Align the coulter hub/blade to the planter row unit opener blades. Set the
coulter blades to run perpendicular to the soil. Fully tighten the 3) ½” x 1-1/2” bolts on the
coulter bracket to the planter row unit. Torque to 85 ft./lbs.
