The center section of coulters should be set first. The Toolbar Cylinders have spacers included. Add or remove
spacers until the center section is positioned at the appropriate depth. Lower the unit until the lift cylinders bottom
out on the stroke control spacers. Add or remove stroke control spacers until the center toolbar section reaches desired
application depth. It is a good idea to be moving forward when lowering the toolbar. When the center section of
the toolbar is set to proper depth.
After the toolbar is set with the cylinder spacers, adjust the wing gauge wheel setting until the wings are level
with the base section and the entire toolbar is flat and even. Once the toolbar is set and leveled, further adjust-
ment is typically not necessary.
Set the down pressure just high enough to keep the gauge wheels in contact with the ground. Excessive pressure
can cause premature wear on wing pivots and gauge wheels.
DO NOT EXCEED 1,350 PSI.
To set up the Applicator for 20" or 30" rows use the inside hole. This will set the wheel spacing at 120".
To set up the Applicator for 22" rows use the outside hole. This will set the wheel spacing at 132".
When shipped the light bar will be attached using holes A and B. The light bracket needs to be positioned so that the
Amber light is out past the wheel.
NOTE - When changing the wheel spacing it may be necessary to move the Light Brackets so the Amber
Light is out past the wheel.
For 20" and 30" row spacing use holes B and C.
For 22" rows use holes C and D.
