29 Adjustments
1 x 12 Closing Wheel Option
The closing wheels can be adjusted for down
pressure, alignment and offset.
Down Pressure. Adjust closing wheel so it has
enough down force to close the seed trench with-
out unnecessary compaction.
Refer to Figure 25
Start with T-handle in first notch. If seed trench
does not close, move handle to next notch and try
again. Keep moving handle back until seed trench
closes.
Alignment. If one closing wheel is running in the
seed trench or closing wheels are not centered
over the seed trench, adjust closing wheels as
follows.
Refer to Figure 26
1. Raise bean machine slightly to remove weight
from closing wheels.
2. Loosen two 1/2-inch mounting bolts (1).
3. Turn adjuster cam (2) left or right to center
wheels over the seed trench.
4. Torque 1/2-inch mounting bolts as recom-
mended, see “Appendix,” page 80.
Offset. The closing wheels can be offset to help
prevent trash from plugging the closing wheels.
To offset the closing wheels:
Refer to Figure 27
1. Raise bean machine slightly to remove weight
from closing wheels.
2. Remove 5/8-inch bolt (1), spacers (2), pivot
tube (3) and hex flange nut (4) attaching
wheel (5) to press-wheel arm.
3. Move closing wheel (5) to other mounting hole
and reattach with hardware. Torque bolt as rec-
ommended, see “Appendix,” page 80.
