Refer to Figure 2
Initially adjust drill so bottom of opener tube runs
26 inches above ground when drill is lowered in the
field.
Refer to Figure 3
To adjust:
1. Make sure the top turnbuckle clevis is in the
lower mount hole.
2. Set turnbuckle length. Turn turnbuckle to
shorten or lengthen as necessary. Initially set
length to 17 1/2 inches between pin centers to
achieve the 26-inch dimension mentioned
above. When adjusting the turnbuckle length,
remember:
• Lengthening turnbuckle raises drill.
• Shortening turnbuckle lowers drill.
3. Level drill with top three-point link.
Refer to Figure 4
NOTE: When drill is level, parallel links will be
running slightly uphill towards the front.
The 1 inch dimension shown is a general dimen-
sion that will vary with planting conditions.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the opener mount is
running higher than the opener body. This will
ensure an ample reserve for opener upfloat in
case the opener strikes a rock or other object.
