BOLT TORQUE

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST:

1. Improperly tightened bolts will result in damage, breakage, expense, and down time.

2. Always replace bolts with the specified grade and type.

3. Torque properly before first use of the machine and every 2-4 hours of use until you are sure bolts are
staying tight.

4. The chart below is a guide for proper torque. Use it unless a specified torque is called out elsewhere in
the manual.

5. Torque is the force you apply to the wrench handle or the cheater bar, times the length of the handle or
bar.

6. Use a torque wrench whenever possible.

The following table shows torque in ft. lbs.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove 5/8” X 5” bolt through hub of unit coulter.

2. Using 5/8” X 6” bolt supplied, attach the 2967-226 and 227 adjustment plates to the sides

of the coulter. Torque the castle nut before tightening any other bolts. Torque to 150 in.
lbs., rotate blade/bearings while applying final torque. Move the nut to the next locking
position, install cotter pin.

3. Attach the 2967-389 combo arms to the 5/8” X 2” bolts with the 9/16” bushings, flat

washers and lock nuts supplied. Tighten the 5/8” X 2” bolts and nuts securely.

OPERATION

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.

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.
