Adjustments
To get full performance from your
YP3010HDP/3020P/3025, you need an understanding of
all component operations, and many provide adjust-
ments for optimal field results. Some of these have been
covered earlier in this manual.
Even if your planting conditions rarely change, some of
these items need periodic adjustment due to normal
wear.
