4.8.7 Knife Lateral Separation
Confirm knife lateral separation,
“Z” 1.5 in (38 mm), FIG. 12,
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.
4.9 SUPPLY AND DROP TUBES
4.9.1 Basic Configuration
Product is delivered to the knife
through a supply tube. The supply
tube slides into a formed rubber
drop tube, #1 FIG. 13. The formed
rubber drop tube is attached to the
knife by sliding tab, #2 FIG. 13 into
the slot on the opener shank.
As the formed rubber drop tube
wears, it can be trimmed and
repositioned. Refer to FIG. 14 as a
guide for repositioning drop tubes.
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.
