4.11.9 KNIFE LATERAL SEPARATION
Confirm knife lateral separation, “Z” 1.5 in(38 mm), FIGURE 19, especially after replacing
knives, to avoid seed damage when applying high rates of fertilizer.
NOTE: As with any field adjustment procedure, make only
one change to a variable, operate the implement for a short
distance and observe whether the change made any
difference and whether the difference was positive or
negative in outcome.
4.12 SUPPLY AND DROP TUBES
4.12.1 BASIC CONFIGURATION
Product is delivered to the knife through a supply tube. The supply
tube slides into a formed rubber drop tube, #1 FIGURE 20. The
formed rubber drop tube is attached to the knife by sliding tab, #2
FIGURE 20 into the slot on the opener shank.
As the formed rubber drop tube wears, it can be trimmed and
repositioned. All drop tubes should be positioned so the tip of the
drop tube is 0.5 in(13 mm) below the stainless steel clip. Always cut
drop tube on an angle to allow air to flow and escape.
