Transport
Wheel
Adjustments
for
Leveling
and
Depth
When leveling
your
drill, opener spring rods near the center
of
the drill that extend higher above their spring rod
castings than desired can
be
adjusted by raising the
transport
frame. This is done
by
raising the drill with the hydraulic
lift
cylinders. Spring rods near the center that don't extend high enough are adjusted by lowering
the
transport frsme
(raising the transport wheels
by
retracting the cylinders).
ONCE
THE SPRING RODS
AREATTHE
DESIRED SETIlNG,
screw
the
threaded studs on top
of
the vertical tubes (see fig.
11)
down as far as possible and secure them with the jam
nut.
This
adjustment will stop the lift cylinder travel
at
the
same
point each time the boxes are lowered for drilling and
assures accurate seed depth control.

Gauge
Wheel
Adjustment
for
Leveling
and
Depth
The openers near the outside
of
the drill are adjusted
by
raising or lowering
the gauge wheels.
Raise the drill
out
of
the ground and loosen the
jam
nut
located near the
bottom
clevis
of
the
gauge wheel adjustment
arm
(see fig.
14).
This arm is
( threaded to allow easy opener seed depth adjustment.
By
lengthening the
\
arm
the
gauge wheel
is
lowered, causing less penetration
of
the
openers and
less spring rod extension
for
leveling. By shortening the
arm
the gauge wheel
is raised, causing deeper penetration
of
the openers
and
the spring rods will
extend higher. After adjusting, be sure the arms on both gauge wheels have
the
same
length
of
threads showing.
