DANGER: Denotes the most serious specific potential hazard.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

You can make your farm a safer place to live and work if you observe the safety precautions given.
Study these precautions carefully and insist that those working with you and for you follow them.

Finally, remember this: an accident is usually caused by someone’s carelessness, neglect or
oversight.

WARNING

Never clean, lubricate or adjust a machine that is in motion. Always lower or block the implement
before performing service.

If the machine must be serviced in the raised position, jack or block it up to prevent it from accidentally
falling and injuring someone.

Do not allow riders on the tractor or implement.

Use speeds and caution dictated by the terrain being traversed. Do not operate on any slope steep
enough to cause tipping or loss of control.

Be sure all personnel are clear of the immediate area before operating.

Read and understand the operator’s manual and require all other persons who will operate the
equipment to do the same.

Be familiar with all tractor and implement controls and be prepared to stop engine and implements
quickly in an emergency.

CAUTION

Consult your implement and tractor operator’s manual for correct and safe operating practices.

Beware of towed implement width and allow safe clearance.

FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Solution to “UP” travel issue. Trim upper corners of face plate bracket.

If there is insufficient clearance between the residue manager wheels and the fertilizer coulter opener,
then a fertilizer extension bar is required to move the fertilizer coulter forward to have sufficient
clearance.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

position, not locked down.

STEP 1.

Adjustments to the residue manager may have to be made when changing field conditions
and type and amount of residue. Use the handle for leverage when changing depth settings.
“FLOAT SETTINGS”
To raise the wheels, lift the 2967-282 and move the slide toward the rear.
To lower the wheels move the slide toward the front.
“RIGID SETTING”
To raise the wheels, lift the 2967-282 Combo Arm to the desired position and insert the pin.
To lower the wheels, lower the combo arm to the desired position and insert the pin.

Adjust the residue manager to move crop residue aside and not move any soil.

Where rocks are present the residue manager should be set in the “float”

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.

IMPORTANT: For proper operation, the planter frame must operate level (for, aft and side to

side) and at the correct height, typically 20”-22”.

MAINTENANCE

STEP 1. Regularly inspect the residue manager for loose or worn bolts. Repair and replace

as needed.

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.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Be certain to align the grease fitting with the slot in the wheel and the

hubcap so that the grease can flow freely.

12

MAINTENANCE

Grease must fill this

Hubcap cavity.

13

MAINTENANCE

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.

Alternative Lubricants

Conditions in certain geographical areas may require special lubricants and
lubrication practices which do not appear in the operator's manual. If there are any
questions, consult Yetter Manufacturing Co. to obtain latest information and
recommendation.

MAINTENANCE

Lubrication Symbols

Lubricate with grease at hourly interval indicated on symbol.

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. 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.

2. Assemble the wheels, hubs and caps

3. Grease the wheel/hub/bearing assembly.

15

MAINTENANCE

Storing the Equipment

Store the machine in an area away from human activity

Store machine in RAISED position.

Install service locks on all wheel cylinders.
At the end of the season, the machine should be thoroughly inspected and prepared
for storage. Repair or replace any worn or damaged components to prevent down
time at the start of the next season. Store machine under cover with all parts in
operating condition.

• Clean machine thoroughly to remove all dirt, debris and crop residue, which
would hold moisture and cause rusting.

• Inspect machine for worn or broken parts. See your Yetter Farm Equipment
dealer during the off-season so that parts or service can be acquired when
machine is not needed in the field.

• Lubricate bearings as outlined in the Lubrication section

• Paint all parts which are chipped or worn and require repainting.

• Store machine in a clean, dry place with the planting unit out of the sun.

• If the machine cannot be stored inside, cover with a waterproof tarpaulin and

tie securely in place.

• Do not allow children to play on or around the machine

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.
