-MACHINE OPERATION
IMPORTANT: failure to properly set the planter frame height and levelness can result in
less than successful operation of the planter and the Yetter product and may result in
damaged equipment. All operators should read and thoroughly understand the
instructions given prior to using the Yetter product.
NOTE:
DO NOT use this product if the planter is not adjusted properly!
Leveling the planter:
With the planter lowered to proper operation height
(Usually 20”-22”). Read the planter
operator’s manual for recommended setting. Check to be sure the toolbar and row unit
parallel arms are level fore and aft.
Re-Check when the planter is in the field and has been
fully loaded with seed, fertilizer, granular chemicals, etc. Also, a field check with a bubble
level on the frame should be made of the hitch height to ensure level operation front to back.
It is important for the planter to operate level laterally. Tire pressure must be maintained at
pressures specified by the manufacturer.
Field and actual planting conditions change and will dictate planter frame heights. You must
ensure that the row unit parallel arms are approximately parallel with the ground.
IMPORTANT:
For proper operation of the planter attachments and row units, it is
imperative that the planter toolbars and row unit parallel arms be level side-to-side and
front-to-rear. The toolbar frame should operate at a 20”-22” height from the planting
surface.
Check the manufacturer’s operator’s manual for instructions on how to adjust
the frame height and levelness.
