OPERATION
CAUTION: Where rocks are present the residue manager should be set in the “float” position, not
locked down.
STEP 1.
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.
Use the handle for leverage when changing depth settings.
“FLOAT SETTINGS”
Install the adjustment pin below the combo arm.
“RIGID SETTING”
Install the adjustment pin through the combo arm.
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.
DO adjust toolbar frame height 20”-22” and drawbar to “level” correctly. Very important to
ensure planter opener will follow ground contours properly.
IMPORTANT: For proper operation, the planter frame must operate level (for, aft and side to side) and at the correct
height, typically 20”-22”.
MAINTENANCE
STEP 1. Regularly inspect the residue manager for loose or worn parts. Repair and replace as needed.
