QUICK RESPONSE SHOE ASSEMBLY

INSTRUCTIONS ON WHITE 6000/8000

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove gauge wheel arm assemblies from the row unit.

2. Remove the scrapers.

3. Check the seed opener blades for 2” of blade edge contact. Check your planter operator’s manual for
correct adjustment procedure. NOTE: this adjustment is critical for correct installation and adjustment
of the Quick Response Shoe.

4. Remove the R.H. seed opener disk blade.

5. Attach the 6000-253 arm to the planter unit using 5/16” x 2-1/2” and ½” X 2 ½” bolts. NOTE: do not
assemble scrapers at this time because the R.H. seed opener blade has been removed to determine
the number of shims needed to have proper clearance between the seed tube and the 6000-250
fertilizer shoe.

Securely fasten the 6000-250 shoe to the 6000-253 arm using two 3/8” x 1-1/2” bolts, washers and
locknuts.

6. Replace blade, bearing washer, nut and cap. NOTE: the 6000-250 shoe should rub the blade and
blades should turn with some resistance, if the blades have difficulty turning the are most likely worn
too small and should be replaced.

7. Remove the two mounting bolts for the 6000-253 arm to the row unit.

8. Install the scrapers using the two 5/16” x 2-1/2” and ½” x 2 ½” bolts and lock nuts. NOTE: Use shims
as necessary between the scraper and the row unit to apply correct tension on the scrapers. Over
tightening scrapers may prevent opener disks from turning properly and or may cause premature
scraper wear.

9. Install the gauge wheel arm assemblies and adjust to prevent a buildup of dirt or residue between
gauge wheels and blades, be certain wheels are positioned correctly against disk blades. Gauge
wheel tires should just touch the blades, or be no more than 1/16” away from blades at their closest
point.

10. Adjust fertilizer shoe depth by loosening the rear 3/8” x 1-1/2” bolt, raise the shoe for a more shallow
fertilizer placement or lower the shoe for deeper fertilizer placement. IMPORTANT: It is best to
consult the fertilizer supplier for optimum placement when placing starter fertilizer in close proximity to
the seed. NOTE: If there is a buildup of damp soil the planter gauge wheels or opener disks, then
conditions are less than “ideal” and some problems may also be encountered with the Quick
Response Shoe. In some situations it may be advisable to remove the Quick Response Shoe from
the planter unit, if the problem continues.
