RESIDUE MANAGER WHEEL INSTALLATION
1. If you wish to be able to grease the bearings in the hubs, remove the seal from one side of the bearings as
illustrated before assembly. Otherwise the bearings may be left “sealed for life”.
2. When assembling the spoke wheels, bearing assembly and hubcap, be sure to align the grease transfer hole
in the spoke wheel with the groove in the hubcap and hole in the hub to allow grease passage.
3. Install/assemble the spoke wheels, hubs and caps as shown in illustration opposite. IMPORTANT: THE 2527-
530 WASHER MUST BE INSTALLED OR THE WHEEL AND HUB ASSEMBLY WILL FALL OFF DURING
USE. TORQUE 150 FT.LBS.
4. If you have chosen to grease the hubs, do so now that the assembly is complete. Approximately 30 pumps
from a lever style gun to fill the hub with grease.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT: For proper operation, the planter frame must operate level (for, aft and side
to side) and at the correct height, typically 20”-22”.
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.
