OPERATING THE PLANTER LEVELING Drive tractor and planter on level ground. Adjust planter frame to 16 inches (405 mm) above ground. CHANGING PLANTING DEPTH The press wheel gauges the planting depth. The adjustment is from surface plating to 3-1/2 in. (90 mm) deep. To adjust depth, pull out adjustment stop (A) and turn depth control cam (B) to position desired.
Page 20
OPERATING THE PLANTER Two holes (B) and (C) in the main chain housing (A) permit finer adjustment. increase the planting depth slightly with the adjustment stop pin in hole (B) proceed as follows: Insert the adjustment stop pin into hole (D) and turn to the left until it locks the depth control cam in position in hole (C) in the chain housing.

PREDELIVERY LUBRICATION PREDELIVERY LUBRICATION Note that lubrication intervals are identical to those appearing in the operator’s manual. Regardless of recommended intervals, lubricate the planter before delivery at every point shown in the charts with multi-purpose lubricant or an equivalent SAE multi-purpose type grease.
Page 24
LUBRICATION ROLLER CHAIN LUBRICATION The most effective roller chain lubrication routine varies, depending on the environmental conditions and/or conditions of the chain. The obvious goal is to maintain complete freedom at every chain link joint. For best results, DO NOT lubricate roller chains if operating in dusty conditions. Lubrication will only tend to pull additional grit into the critical pivot areas, restring free chain movement.
STORAGE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON SERVICE Before using the planter after it has been stored, inspect the seed hoppers for cleanliness to be certain the seed will flow from hoppers freely. Thoroughly inspect the planter unit for loose parts and adjust as necessary. Clean any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on moving parts, gears and chains before operating the planter.
