Initial Seeding Depth
Refer to Figure 14
If the drill has been used for planting, leave the row unit
T-handles at their present settings.
If the drill has not been used before, initially set all T-han-
dles to the middle holes in their range.
The T-handle on the row unit is the primary adjustment
for seeding depth when:
• the coulters prepare the ground ahead of the furrow,
• the down-pressure is appropriate for conditions, and
• the row unit is running level,
The T-handle controls the relationship between opener
blade and press wheel height. See page 93 for adjust-
ments.
Initial Lift Cylinder Spacers
Refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16
Raise the drill. If spacers (cylinder stop bushings) are
already present on the lift cylinder rods, they were placed
there during a previous leveling, and may be left as is.
If there are no spacers on the rods, make sure both sets
of five sizes are available on the rod loops on top of the
hitch wing rear tubes.
Raise the drill and install the 5.1cm (2in) spacers. These
are spring-loaded half rings, and snap around the rod.
