Unit-Mount Cleaner Adjustments
Refer to Figure 48
Optional rigid row cleaners are unit-mounted.
There are two adjustments:
1. Wheel placement (upper or lower mounting hole ,
for more or less aggressive cleaning), and
2. Wheel height, adjusted by a cross-tube . Cleaner
arms float. The stop only sets the lowest position.
The row cleaner needs to be adjusted for your
conditions, crop changes, and as openers wear. Ideally,
cleaners contact only the trash, and do not disturb the
soil. If allowed to “dig”, row cleaners can reduce seed
coverage.
Suggested initial depth is tine tips at ground level.
Make the adjustment with the planter raised. Install
lift-assist cylinder locks.
To adjust the row cleaner:
1. Determine the height adjustment required. Measure
from the lowest tine to the ground. Determine the
desired new measurement.
2. Support most or all of the weight of the arm to
prevent injury and ease the adjustment.Remove
cotter pin
and bent pin .
3. Support arm at desired height.
4. Slide adjustment tube until cross-tube contacts
arm at target height. Insert bent pin in whichever
hole pair is most in alignment. Secure bent pin with
cotter pin.
5. Check the new height measurement.
Refer to Row Cleaner manual 204-085M-A for further
information on use, adjustment and maintenance of row
cleaners.
Sharp Object Hazard:
Wear hand protection when working in this area. Row cleaner
tines, casting edges and coulter blades are sharp.
