Disk Scraper Adjustments
Disk scrapers are optional. See page 102 ordering infor-
mation and page 22 for installation. To keep opener disks
turning freely, dirt scrapers are mounted between disks
to clean as disks rotate.
Refer to Figure 68
As field conditions vary, scrapers may need to be
adjusted. In damp conditions, lower scrapers. If openers
are not turning freely, raise scrapers. To adjust, loosen
bolt and move scraper as needed.
Sharp Object Hazard:
Row unit disk blades may be sharp. Use caution when making
adjustments in this area.
Seed Firmer Adjustments
00HD Series row units include a seed flap, and accept
one of two optional seed firmers.
The seed flap requires no adjustment, but may need to
be replaced if worn, and may need to be shortened if an
optional seed firmer is added after initial delivery.
Sharp Object Hazard:
Row unit disk blades may be sharp. Use caution when making
adjustments in this area. To adjust the Keeton Seed Firmer,
lower the drill until the disks of the row units are resting on the
ground.
Keeton Seed Firmer Adjustment
The optional Keeton Seed Firmer is an engineered poly-
mer shape that slides down the seed trench. It traps
seeds as they exit the seed tube and firms them into the
bottom of the “V”.
Refer to Figure 69
The Firmer is provided with a preset tension which is rec-
ommended for using the first year. The tension screw
can be tightened in subsequent years according to your
needs. Firmers should provide just enough tension to
push seeds to the bottom of the trench.
