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

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.
