Installing Fertilizer Tines
The fertilizer tine kit (GP part no. 204-242K) contains all
parts needed to convert one coulter into a fertilizer injec-
tion coulter.
To assemble one tine:
Refer to Figure 2-6.
1. Assemble front fertilizer arm (1) to coulter swing arm
(2) with two 1/2-by-2-inch flange bolts, flat washers
and flange nuts.
2. Fasten back fertilizer arm (3) to front fertilizer arm with
two 1/2-by-2-inch flange bolts, six flat washers and
two flange nuts. Tighten bolts.
3. Assemble coil tine (4) to back fertilizer arm using 1/2-
by- 4 1/2-inch bolt (5), spacer tube (6) spring clip (7),
two rectangular spacers (8), flat washer and flange
nut (9). Assemble spring clip between hooked end of
tine and first spring coil. Hook end of tine assembles in
one of top four holes of arm, depending on desired
coulter depth.
4. Adjust tine for proper fertilizer placement. Refer to
hitch operator’s manual for tine adjustment instruc-
tions.
5. Once tines are adjusted, assemble nozzle (10) to bot-
tom of tine coupling with extension pipe (11) to top of
tine coupling. Screw 3/8-inch hose-barb fitting (12) to
top of extension pipe. Use pipe sealant provided in kit
on these pipe-thread connections.
Use roll of 3/8-inch hose from manifold kit to connect
each nozzle body to a fertilizer tine. For each nozzle
body, insert hose onto nozzle barb at manifold. Route
hose down to fertilizer tine, pulling hose straight but not
taut. When satisfied with hose length, cut hose. Con-
nect hose (13) to hose-barb fitting (12).
IMPORTANT: Do not cut hoses longer than 3 feet. You
will not have enough hose for all nozzles if hoses are
longer than 3 feet.
