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 they be followed by those working with you and for you.

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

DANGER

Inspect and replace worn or frayed hydraulic hose, keep all connections tight. Escaping hydraulic fluid
under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious personal injury. Fluid
escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than the
hands to search for suspected leaks.

CAUTION

Consult your implement and tractor operator’s manual for correct and safe operating practices. Be aware of
towed implement width and allow safe clearance.

CAUTION: SAFETY SIGNS

Safety decals are placed on the implement to alert the operator and others to the risk of personal injury or
unsafe operation during normal operations and servicing.

1. The safety decals must be kept clean and in good condition to ensure that they are legible.

2. Safety decals must be replaced if they are missing or illegible.

3. When components are replaced during repair or servicing, check that the new components include
the necessary safety signs.

4. Replacement safety decals may be obtained from your local Yetter dealer.

WARNING

Never clean, lubricate or adjust a machine that is in motion. Always install the transport lock pins and bracket when
transporting for any length of time or on public roadways.

If required to service unit in raised position, be sure to install all transport lock pins and locking bracket.

Be sure the implement is securely locked in the 3-point quick hitch before operating.

Do not allow children to operate this equipment.

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.

In operating on public roadways, where legal, be certain all lighting is operating properly and observe all traffic laws.
Ensure slow moving vehicle emblem on tractor is visible.

Maximum towing speed is 20 mph when conditions permit.

Beware of increased stopping distances and control effort when operating with implements attached.

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

Do not unhitch cart in the raised position with a grain drill attached. Lower unit before unhitching.

Do not trail cart with small trucks, etc. The hitch weight of the cart is in excess of 1000 lbs.

FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

Examine all equipment carefully for damage or shortages.

Lubricate all bearings and moving parts as assembled.

Reference to front, rear, left and right in this installation instruction are made when setting in the operator’s
seat facing direction of forward travel.

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

WARNING:

safety lockups. Failure to do so may lead to personal injury.

Transport Wheels

STEP 1. The carts are shipped with only the inside wheels assembled. Attach the outside wheel and hub

assemblies 6600-146 by inserting the spindle shaft into the tube welded to the bottom of the lift wheel insert
using 1) ½” x 3” hex bolt and ½” hex lock nut.

Never work under the equipment while in a raised position without using

STEP 2. Check the air pressure in the four tires; the pressure must be EQUAL to each other (36 psi cold).

If the tire air pressures are not equal when operated, the upper and lower rollers will wear and fail to
operate, causing damage to the lift wheel insert.

5

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Hanger Bar

STEP 1. Attach the hanger bar assembly to the 8” x 8” center frame using the 4) 1” x 11” hex bolts and 1”

hex lock nuts. The right rear bolt is also used to attach the toolbar depth indicator 6300-347. Position the
assembly on the center frame with 6300-212 toolbar flange plate w.a. hook over the drawbar flange plate.
Torque the 1” bolts to 670 ft. lbs.

STEP 2. Attach the toolbar depth gauge to the rear of the toolbar using 1) ¾” x 5” x 6-1/2” u-bolt, 6300-348
strap, and ¾” lock nuts. Locate the depth gauge up to the right hand side of the center frame.

6

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Attaching the 5” x 5” coulter toolbar to the hanger bar

STEP 3. A coulter will be mounted on the cart directly in line with each opener on the implement that will be

mounted on the cart. Most implements have an even number of openers with no opener in the center,
measure the length of the 5” x 5” toolbar and mark the centerline.

STEP 4. Align the center of the coulter toolbar with the center of the frame. Attach the 5” x 5” toolbar to the
rear of the hanger bar using the offset brackets, ¾” u-bolts, and ¾” lock nuts. Rigidly fasten one bracket
between the toolbar with the rear u-bolt on the center line (on even number of coulters) of the coulter
toolbar. Assemble the four remaining brackets to the toolbar; refer to the illustration below. The location of
the bracket is determined by the width of the toolbar and the row spacing of the implement.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 5. Attach the 2) 6300-207 cylinder lugs to the coulter toolbar using ¾” u-bolts and ¾” lock nuts.

Locate the inside edge of the cylinder lug 21 ¾” from the centerline of the coulter toolbar.

Clamp Kits: Even number of openers

STEP 6A. Determine the location on the 5” x 5” toolbar. If your implement has an even number of

openers, divide the row width by two and chalk mark that distance for the first coulter on each side of the
centerline. Now mark the rest of the toolbar for the coulter location, measuring from the two center coulters.
See example of even number of openers on 10” spacing.

Clamp Kits: Odd number of openers

STEP 6B. Determine the location on the 5” x 5” toolbar. If your implement has an odd number of openers,

start on the centerline of the toolbar and measure each way the distance of the row spacing and mark the
location of each coulter. See example of odd number of openers on 15” spacing.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 7. Mount a set of clamp plates to the toolbar at each chalk mark using 4) ½” x 8” bolts, 2) shank

clamp castings, and ½” lock nuts.

For crop residue flow through the coulter, it is best to mount the coulters alternating to the front and to the
backside of the toolbar.

NOTE: It is very important; before tightening the bolts, that the clamp plates be square to the
toolbar.

10

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 8. Insert the locking collar into the pivot casting of the coulter assembly. Slide the shorter offset end

of the shank down through the assembly and drive the 3/8” x 2 ½” roll pin through the bottom hole of the
shank for a retainer.

NOTE: For additional clearance for and aft of the coulter blades, assemble half of the coulters with the
lower portion of the offset shank forward (to be mounted on the front of the toolbar) and assemble the
remaining coulters with the offset shank backward (to be mounted on the rear of the toolbar).

STEP 9. Screw the 5/8” x 1” square head set screw into the locking collar; triple tighten (tighten, loosen,
tighten, loosen, tighten) to 100 ft. lbs. max. torque. The locking collar should carry the weight of the coulter
instead of the roll pin.

Note: Do not allow the roll pin to set into the notch of the pivot casting since that will lock the coulter from
swiveling.
