OPERATION
WARNING
Never clean, lubricate or adjust a machine that is in motion. Always lower or block the implement before
performing service.
If machine must be serviced in the raised position, jack or block it up to prevent it from accidentally falling
and injuring someone.
Do not allow riders on the tractor or implement.
Use speeds and caution dictated by the terrain being traversed. Do not operate on any slope steep enough
to cause tipping or loss of control.
Be sure all personnel are clear of the immediate area before operating.
Read and understand the operator’s manual and require all other persons who will operate the equipment
to do the same.
Be familiar with all tractor and implement controls and be prepared to stop engine and implements quickly in
an emergency.
FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
NOTE: Adjustments to the Maverick Opener are best done while in the field where the unit is to be
operated.
STEP 1. Set the toolbar frame height for 22”-24”. 24” from the top of the soil to the bottom of the toolbar
seems to work for the best performance of the Maverick Opener . Adjust the toolbar gauge wheels up or
down to get the 24” from the bottom of the gauge wheel to the bottom of the toolbar. Adjust the spring
tension on the upper parallel arm; forward for lighter setting and rearward for heavier setting (TWO
ADDITIONAL SPRINGS ARE AVAILABLE IF NEEDED). The pin must be installed to hold the spring bar at
the desired setting. Add or remove weight to the toolbar to achieve the proper toolbar frame height.
NOTE: Toolbar frame levelness and height adjustments are very important settings for correct performance
of the coulters.
