Front To Back Adjustment
Refer to Figure 5
1. Loosen the hex flange nuts (1) holding the
back arm (6) to the front arm (7).
2. Rotate the back arm assembly until the tine
reaches the desired position. It is recom-
mended to run the tine in a vertical or slightly
swept back position.
3. Make sure the tine also has the correct front
to back distance behind the coulter and re-
tighten the hex flange nuts.
Up & Down Adjustment
Refer to Figure 6
The bottom of the fertilizer coil tine nozzle should
be set approximately 1" to 1 1/2" below the sur-
face of the soil when the fertilizer coulter is set for
the desired fertilizer placement depth. This allows
the nozzle to inject the fertilizer to the bottom of
the coulter trench before soil can fill back in. Run-
ning the nozzle deeper than 1 1/2" may cause
excessive wear and increase plugging problems.
1. To adjust the tine depth, remove the 1/2" hex
flange nut (1), and flat washer (4) holding the
coil tine (9) to the back arm (6).
2. Position the tine (9) to the desired height by
placing the hooked end of the coil tine in one
of the top five holes on the back plate (6).
3. Insert the 1/2" x 4 1/2" long bolt (3) through
the round spacer tube (5), the clip channel (8)
on the coil tine, the rectangular spacers (10)
and the back arm (6). Secure it with a flat
washer (4), and hex flange nut (1).
