OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
STOP
Read this before using the Yetter product.
- MACHINE OPERATION
IMPORTANT: failure to properly set the planter frame height and
levelness can result in less than successful operation of the planter
and the Yetter product and may result in damaged equipment.
operators should read and thoroughly understand the instructions
given prior to using the Yetter product.
NOTE: DO NOT use this product if the planter is not adjusted properly!
Leveling the planter:
With the planter lowered to proper operating height (Usually 20”-22”).
Read the planter operator’s manual for recommended setting. Check to
be sure the toolbar and row unit parallel arms are level fore and aft. Re-
check when the planter is in the field and has been fully loaded with seed,
fertilizer, granular chemicals, etc. Also, a field check with a bubble level on
the frame should be made of the hitch height to ensure level operation front
to back.
It is important for the planter to operate level laterally. Tire pressure must
be maintained at pressures specified by the manufacturer.
Field and actual planting conditions change and will dictate planter frame
heights. You must ensure that the row unit parallel arms are approximately
parallel with the ground.
IMPORTANT: For proper operation of the planter attachments and row
units, it is imperative that the planter toolbars and row unit parallel arms be
level side-to-side and front-to-rear. The toolbar frame should operate at a
20”-22” height from the planting surface
operator’s manual for instructions on how to adjust the frame height and
levelness.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Where rocks are present the residue manager should be set in the “float” position, not
locked down.
STEP 1. Adjust the residue manager to move crop residue aside and not move any soil.
Adjustments to the residue manager may have to be made when changing field conditions
and type and amount of residue. Use a ½” drive socket wrench for leverage when changing
depth settings.
ROW CLEANER DO’S AND DON’TS
1. DO NOT move soil; Residue Managers are designed to move crop residue only.
2. DO NOT operate planter at slow speeds, ground speed affects how aggressive the
spoke wheels are; operate at sufficient speed (4-6 mph) to maintain good residue
flow.
3. DO NOT expect 100% of crop residue to be cleared, it is not necessary and would
necessitate engaging the soil. The width of path cleared depends on ground
conditions, depth setting and ground speed.
4. DO expect to see wheels occasionally quit turning, indicates ideal (shallow) setting
which is not moving soil.
5. DO adjust toolbar frame height 20”-22” and drawbar correctly. Very important to
ensure planter opener will follow ground contours properly.
MAINTENANCE
STEP 1. Regularly inspect the residue manager for loose or worn bolts. Repair and replace as
needed.

MAINTENANCE
BEARING ASSEMBLY AND LUBRICATION
Practice Safety
Understand and practice safe service procedures before doing work. Follow ALL the
operating, maintenance and safety information in the equipment operator manual. Clear
the area of bystanders, especially small children, when performing any maintenance or
adjustments. Keep work area clean and dry. Use adequate lighting for the job. Use only
tools, jacks and hoists of sufficient capacity for the job.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is moving. Keep hands, feet, and
clothing from power-driven moving and rotating parts. Disengage all power and operate
controls to relieve pressure. Lower equipment to the ground, stop the engine. Remove the
key. Wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging.
Securely support any machine elements with blocks or safety stands that must be raised
for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damaged equipment
immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
Make sure all guards are in place and properly secured when maintenance work is
completed.

Lubrication
CAUTION: To help prevent serious injury or death to you or others caused by
unexpected movement, service machine on a level surface. Lower machine to
ground or sufficiently lock or block raised machine before servicing. If machine
is connected to tractor, engage parking brake and place transmission in
"PARK", shut off engine and remove key. If machine is detached from tractor,
block wheels and use shop stands to prevent movement.
CAUTION: Do not clean, lubricate, or adjust machine while in motion.
Use grease based on NLGI consistency numbers and the expected air temperature range
during the service interval.
Use a multi-purpose lithium, water resistant, moderate speed, and NLGI grade #2
grease.
Other greases may be used if they meet the following NLGI Performance
Classification: GC-LB
IMPORTANT: Some types of grease thickener are not compatible with others.
Consult your grease supplier before mixing different types of grease.

Lubrication Intervals
IMPORTANT: The recommended service intervals are based on normal conditions;
severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.
Perform each lubrication and service procedure at the beginning and end of each season.
Clean grease fittings before using grease gun, to avoid injecting dirt and grit into the
bearing. Replace any lost or broken fittings immediately. If a fitting fails to take grease,
remove and clean thoroughly, replace fitting if necessary. Also check for failure of
adjoining parts.
BEARING REPLACEMENT INSTALLATION
1. If you wish to be able to grease the bearings in the hubs, remove the seal from one
side of the bearings as illustrated before assembly. Otherwise the bearings may
be left “sealed for life”.
2. When assembling the spoke wheels, bearing assembly and hubcap, be sure to
align the grease transfer hole in the spoke wheel with the groove in the hubcap
and hole in the hub to allow grease passage.
3. Install/assemble the wheels, hubs and caps. IMPORTANT: THE 2527-530

Our name
Is getting known
Just a few years ago, Yetter products were sold primarily to the
Midwest only. Then we embarked on a program of expansion and
moved into the East, the South, the West and now north into
Canada. We’re even getting orders from as far away as Australia
and Africa.
So, when you buy Yetter products . . .you’re buying a name that’s
recognized. A name that’s known and respected. A name that’s
become a part of American agriculture and has become
synonymous with quality and satisfaction in the field of conservation
tillage.
Thank you.
