Model 3605M0312-01
07/20 3-5
Row Unit Operation
Springs must be installed with open side
of spring hooks toward seed hoppers
to prevent binding on spring mount
adjustment pins.
NOTICE
1. Raise planter and remove spring mount pin at top of spring.
2. Slide mount to desired position and install pin.
NOTE: Adjust springs for field conditions. Too much
down pressure in hard field conditions can cause
row units to lift planter and keep drive wheels from
making contact. Too much down pressure in soft field
conditions can cause row unit to run too deep.
There are four positions to set down pressure spring tension.
