OPERATION
CAUTION: Where rocks are present the residue manager should be set in the
“float” position, not locked down.
Adjust the residue manager to move crop residue aside and not move any soil. Adjustments to the
residue manager may have to be made when changing field conditions and type and amount of residue.
“FLOAT SETTINGS”
Rotate the pin latch above the residue manager arm.
To raise the wheels, turn the knob clockwise.
To lower the wheels, turn the knob counter-clockwise.
“RIGID SETTING”
Install pin latch through the residue manager arm.
To raise the wheels, turn the knob clockwise.
To lower the wheels, turn the knob counter-clockwise.
ROW CLEANER DO’S AND DON’TS
1. DO NOT move soil; Residue Managers are designed to move crop residue only.
2. DO NOT operate planter at slow speeds, ground speed affects how aggressive the spoke wheels
are; operate at sufficient speed (4-6 mph) to maintain good residue flow.
3. DO NOT expect 100% of crop residue to be cleared, it is not necessary and would necessitate
engaging the soil. The width of path cleared depends on ground conditions, depth setting and
ground speed.
4. DO expect to see wheels occasionally quit turning, indicates ideal (shallow) setting which is not
moving soil.
5. DO adjust toolbar frame height 20”-22” and drawbar to “level” correctly. Very important to ensure
planter opener will follow ground contours properly.
