Fertilizer Tube Adjustment
Refer to Figure 29
Deeper dry fertilizer placement may be achieved by
rotating the fertilizer tube
to face forward.
This orientation is suggested only if the seed firmer is a
seed flap
. If a Keeton
®
or Seed-Lok
®
is present,
fertilizer falls on the firmer and may be scattered rather
than placed deeper.
Opener Depth (Press Wheel Height)
Refer to Figure 30
Set opener seeding depth
by adjusting press-wheel
height.
To adjust, first raise openers slightly, then lift and slide
T handles
on top of openers. Adjust all press wheels
to the same height.
• Each increment of the handle adjusts the seeding
depth by approximately
1 ⁄
8
in. (6.3 mm). The range is
approximately 0 to 3
1 ⁄
2
in. (0-89 mm) seeding depth.
• For more shallow seeding, slide T handles forward
toward implement.
• For deeper seeding, slide T handles backward
away from implement.
If moving the T handle backward doesn’t cause the
opener to achieve desired depth, adjust the opener
frame down-force (page 28).
Adjust opener pivot height (page 30) so that opener
frame runs level at desired seeding depth.
