Adjustments

There are three adjustments available on the press
wheel assembly:
1. Down pressure (shown at maximum)
2. Wheel stagger (shown staggered)
3. Centering (see Figure 107 on page 85)
Press Wheel Down Pressure
Handle sets down pressure, which may need
adjustment for different soil types and field conditions.
•
Relax the handle forward (in the direction of travel)
for decreased down pressure.
•
Pull the handle back for increased down pressure.
Higher press wheel down pressures reduce the down
force on the main row unit shank components, such
as the openers. High press wheel settings may
require an increase in overall row unit down force.
See page 68.
Press Wheel Stagger
The factory stagger setting has been found optimal for
residue flow. If your conditions appear to require even
press wheels, you might try one row before
re-configuring the entire planter. To change the stagger:
1. Raise the planter and install the lift assist cylinder
locks. See “
2. Remove the bolt , nut and lock-washer for the
left press wheel .
3. Move the spacer and wheel to the forward of
the two mounting holes at .
4. Re-install the bolt, lock washer and nut. Tighten.
