Before working on your planter or drill
DANGER: when storing or working on the planter always install cylinder stops or place the planter on stands to prevent personal injury or damage to the
Rebounder. WARNING: do not roll back or back up the planter in or on the ground as this can result in damage to the Rebounder.
Mounting Instructions
Before you begin locate the "package contents" list to verify all items are included.
Step #1: See HELPFUL HINTS FOR MOUNTING REBOUNDERS TO DRILLS.
Remove one disc from each drill unit so the Rebounder and bracket can be installed
properly.
Step #2: remove the angel wing disc scrapers and hardware from each unit (fig. (a)). The
scrapers will not be used as the Rebounder and bracket take the place of the scrapers
(the Rebounder bracket also acts as a scraper).
Step #3: use one of the 1/4" x 1" bolts and lock nut provided to mount the Rebounder bracket
into the place where the scraper had been (fig. (b)).
Step #4: see JD Drill Bracket template sheet to match your drill.
Step #5: you are now ready to bolt the Rebounder to the bracket on the drill. For Example: with
new discs on the drill and the press wheel adjusting handle in the 3rd and 4th notches
down from the top, a good starting point would be putting the 1/4" bolts in the 1st and 3rd holes from the top of the bracket. Place the
Rebounder on the bottom side of the bracket in the 1st and 2nd holes closest to the spoon. Mount the Rebounder (fig. (c)) to the bracket
(fig. (d)) along with the L-bracket, using two 1/4" x 1" bolts.
Step #6: Position the Rebounder so that the tail end will be from 3/8" or 3/8" to 1/2" off the ground or floor. Re-install the discs.

Important Points to Remember:

- If the fertilizer holder is used, the flange nut will be used on that bolt and other 1/4" plain nut on the second bolt. Replace
the disc when finished. The molded in tab is for in-furrow applications.
- Optional Straight Shot Fittings are also available upon request for a small charge. The Straight Shot fitting (see fig. (e)) is
used for keeping fertilizer from building up on the press wheel. This puts fertilizer directly on the seed and should be used
when you notice excessive soil and fertilizer build up on the press wheel tire.
