1 – 8, the 4000-260 RH MOUNT will be used on rows 9 – 16, & the shim will be used on rows 6 – 11.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CNH 1250/1255 PLANTERS 12 & 16 ROW CONT'D
STEP 5: Install the LH CNH mount on row 2 & the RH CNH mount on row 11 (12 row planter) or row 15 (16 row planter).
Install the LH coulter to the LH mount & the RH coulter to the RH mount. Fold the planter to check for clearance.
Make adjustments if necessary. Repeat this process as you continue installation down the LH wing & up the RH wing.
Keep folding the planter to check for clearance. Some obstacles, like vacuum hose weldments, may not allow the
position the mounting bracket to be where desired. Some items, such as an air tank reservoir, will have to be relocated.
STEP 6: A shim will need added between the planter toolbar & CNH mount. 12 row planters, a shim is required on row 4.
On 16 row planters, a shim is required on row 6 and 11. (see the Shim Installation picture on previous page)
STEP 7: After fertilizer coulter installation is complete, go back through the toolbar to make sure the planter hydraulic
hoses, pneumatic tubing, electrical cables, & vacuum hoses are back in original position, zip tie as needed.
STEP 8: Lower the lift wheels to the lowest setting available which raises the toolbar height while planting to 21 – 22". This raises
the pivot point of the coulter allowing more coulter travel without sacrificing the performance of the planter. Certain lift
wheels may be equipped with speed sensors that may need adjusted when changing the position of each lift wheel.
STEP 9: Attach the fertilizer hose to the tube on the fertilizer knife. When routing the hose use your best judgement to prevent
excessive wear, pinching, or pulling. Fertilizer tubes should be routed in front of the toolbar that the seed units are mounted to.
After fertilizer hose installation, lower the toolbar & manually lift the fertilizer coulter to full upward travel to inspect clearance. On
liquid application, if necessary, cut down the fertilizer tube as close to the top of the knife as possible.
