NOTE: Cap mounting nuts MUST be loosened before adjusting wear pads.
5. Tighten pad adjusting bolts, back off, and then torque wear pads to 14 Nm. Hold adjusting bolt from turning and
torque hex jam nuts to 271 Nm.
6. Operate to full height on post and recheck for zero clearance.
Planter center section is constructed around a steel tubular frame with four wear pad assemblies riding against a
stainless steel clad center post. Two wear pads and retaining clips are held by a pad holder and locked in place by ¾"
adjusting bolts and hex jam nuts. Inspect pads for wear and adjustment annually to ensure center section is stabilized
and planter tracks properly. Pads should make full light contact with center post when properly adjusted. Too much
preload on pads will cause hydraulic lift pressure to be higher than necessary or will not allow planter to raise when
loaded.
1. Position planter on a level surface and place in raised field position.
NOTE: Replace wear pad when worn to less than ⅛".
2. Visually check four upper wear pads. Each wear pad should lightly contact stainless steel clad center post.
3. Place planter in raised transport position, install all safety lockups and visually check four lower wear pads for light
contact.
4. Remove lockup and lower planter to field operation position. Loosen cap mounting nuts to allow wear pad
adjustment. Loosen hex jam nuts as needed.
