Adjusting Weight Transfer
Before making adjustments, observe the results of plant-
ing at the initial settings suggested in “Weight Transfer”
on page 29.
Refer to Figure 41
The amount of weight transferred to the wings is set by
the “WT TRANS” valve on the implement’s valve block.
To make adjustments:
1. Check that both selector valve handles are set to
FIELD position.
2. Lower openers to ground and leave hydraulics active
and implement circuit engaged as for planting.
3. Release lock ring on WT TRANS control knob.
4. Watch pressure gauge while turning pressure-
control valve knob . When facing the valve, turn
knob clockwise to increase weight on wing sections,
and counterclockwise to decrease weight on wings
sections.
Note: Typical pressures on gauge should be 200 to
600 psi.
5. When satisfied with planting depth, wing level and
gauge reading, raise openers while watching pres-
sure gauge. Gauge reading should drop as the
openers are raised.
6. Secure lock ring on WT TRANS control knob.
