The word NOTE is used to convey information

that is out of context with the manual text. It
contains special information such as
specifications, techniques and reference
information of a supplementary nature.

The word IMPORTANT is used in the text when
immediate damage will occur to the machine
due to improper technique or operation.

Important will apply to the same information as
specified by note only of an immediate and
urgent nature.

It is the responsibility of the user to read the

operator’s manual and comply with the safe and

correct operating procedure and to lubricate and
maintain the product according to the
maintenance schedule in the operator’s manual.

The user is responsible for inspecting his
machine and for having parts repaired or
replaced when continued use of the product
would cause damage or excessive wear to the
other parts.

It is the user’s responsibility to deliver his

YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED

WATCH FOR THIS SYMBOL. IT POINTS OUT IMPORTANT

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. IT MEANS “ATTENTION – BE

ALERT!”

It is your responsibility as an owner, operator, or supervision to know and instruct
everyone using this machine at the time of initial assignment and at least annually
thereafter, of the proper operation, precautions, and work hazards which exist in the
operation of the machine in accordance with OSHA regulations.

Safety Is No Accident

The following safety instructions, combined with common sense, will save your
equipment from needless damage and the operator from unnecessary exposure
to personal hazard. Pay special attention to the caution notes in the text. Review
this manual at least once a year with all operators.

1. Read and understand the operator’s manual before operating this machine.
Failure to do so is considered a misuse of the equipment.

2. Make sure equipment is secure before operating.

3. Always keep children away from equipment when operating.

4. Make sure everyone that is not directly involved with the operation is out of the
work area before beginning operation.

5. Make sure all safety devices, shields, and guards are in place and functional
before beginning operation

6. Shut off all power to adjust, service, or clean.

7. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts. It is a good idea to
remove all jewelry before operating.

8. Inspect the machine periodically during operation for signs of excessive wear,
loose fasteners, and unusual noises.

Lubricate all bearings and moving parts as assembled. Make certain that they work
freely.

Warning: Never work around the toolbar/implement while in a raised position

without using safety lockups.

Caution: The TitanTM Residue Manager and its attachments are very heavy. Pay

extra attention to lifting techniques while handling or maneuvering the system

during assembly. Failure to do so may lead to personal injury.

BOLT TORQUE

Important: Over-tightening hardware can cause just as much

damage as under-tightening. Tightening hardware beyond the

recommended range can reduce its shock load capacity.

All hardware on the TitanTM Residue Manager is Grade 5 or Grade 8,
unless otherwise noted. Grade 5 cap screws are marked with three radial
lines on the head. Grade 8 cap screws are marked with six 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.

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 applied to the end of the handle or cheater bar, times
the length of the handle or bar.

Use a torque wrench wherever possible.

The following table shows torque in ft-lbs for coarse thread hardware.

OPERATION

Where rocks are present, the residue manager should be set to

float. The system can be damaged if a rigid setting is used.

Adjust the residue manager to move crop residue aside and not to move soil.
Adjustments to the residue manager may have to be made with changing field
conditions and the type and/or amount of residue. Use the handle for leverage when
changing depth settings.

Float Settings

Install the adjustment pin below the combo arm.
To raise the wheels, lift the combo arm and move the adjustment pin up.
To lower the wheels, lift the combo arm and move the adjustment pin down.

Rigid Settings

Install the adjustment pin through the combo arm.
To raise wheels, lift the combo arm to the desired position and insert the pin.
To lower wheels, lower the combo arm to the desired position and insert the pin.

Residue Manger 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 the cleared path depends
on ground conditions, depth setting, and ground speed.

4. DO expect to see wheels occasionally quit turning. This indicates ideal

(shallow) setting which is not moving soil.

5. DO adjust toolbar frame height 20”-22” and drawbar to level correctly. This is

very important to ensure planter opener will follow ground contours properly.

6

STOP

Read this before using the Yetter product.

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. All
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. Re­check 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. Check the manufacturer’s
operator’s manual for instructions on how to adjust the frame height and

levelness.
