4.8.7 Knife Lateral Separation
Confirm knife lateral separation,
“Z” 1.5 in (38 mm), FIG. 15,
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. 16. The
formed rubber drop tube is attached to the
knife by sliding tab, #2 FIG. 16 into the slot
on the opener shank.
As the formed rubber drop tube wears, it can
be trimmed and repositioned. Refer to FIG 17
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.
