Setting Optical Row Unit Down Pressure; Setting Row Cleaner Depth - Veris U3 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting Optical Row Unit Down pressure

The spring down pressure settings on the optical row unit are determined by the firmness of the soil being
mapped.
For soft soils, low to medium spring pressure should be adequate.
In firm soil conditions, down pressure may need to be added.
Adjust by rocking adjuster rearward with a 1 1/8" wrench and clicking into higher lower position. Fully
rearward is maximum down pressure and fully forward is minimum.

Setting Row Cleaner Depth

The row cleaner mounted on the coulter operating ahead of the OM/pH runner is critical in removing crop
residue from the runner path. It is fitted with an adjustment screw to limit the down float of the row cleaner
fingers. Once you have set the operational depth of the implement, adjust the adjustment screw until the
fingers are lightly contacting the soil. (figure 6)
If the fingers are moving too much soil, adjust the screw downward to raise them up.
If the fingers are not clearing enough residue, screw upward.
Firmly lock jam nut to hold in place.
