Bolt and Nut Grade Information
1. Fasteners should be replaced with the same or higher grade. If higher grade fasteners are used, these should only be
tightened to the strength of the original.
2. Make sure the fastener threads are clean and that thread engagement is started. This will prevent them from failing when
being tightened.
3. Tighten plastic insert or crimped steel-type lock nuts to approximately 50 percent of the dry torque; applied to the nut,
not to the bolt head. Tighten toothed or serrated-type lock nuts to the full torque value.
4. The L9 (Alloy) fasteners torque values are for a bolt, nut, and two washers.
NOTE: When using L9 (Alloy) fasteners, do not use the values in this table for tapped holes.

PAINT TOUCH-UP PROCEDURE
1. Sand the area to be painted, using 220 grit sandpaper

(or finer).
NOTE: Try to avoid going down to bare metal any

more than necessary.
2. Feather back any areas that were scuffed to ‘blend in’

area as much as possible.
3. Blow off sanding dust with compressed air; if no

compressed air is available, wipe off dust completely
with a tack cloth or other soft cloth. Avoid use of
water if bare metal is exposed.
4. Mask off area that is to be painted with masking tape.

Place cardboard, plastic sheeting, or another barrier in
such a way as to catch overspray.
5. Shake paint can well, or prepare paint according to

package directions if it is a kit. Follow MSDS sheet
instructions for required personal protective
equipment.
6. Paint area using light coats, allowing to dry to ‘tack

dry’ between each coat. Two or three coats should be
sufficient. Allow to dry.

AIR DRILL LEVELING
CAUTION! Disengage power and shut down tractor, be

certain all moving parts have stopped before
servicing, adjusting, cleaning or unclogging the
equipment.
Always be sure air drill is hooked to a stable
device before activating hydraulics.
Never operate wing lift system when anyone is
within radius of the wings.
Always follow correct operating procedure when
folding and unfolding wings.
NOTE: The air drill can be set to obtain 1.12 m (44") of clearance under the frame. However, this setting will not be
satisfactory for all applications. It is recommended that the machine be set at 1 m (40") under the frame when
fully raised. This will provide 18 cm (7") of clearance under the knives and will also allow the machine to cut
10 cm (4") deep with sweeps, without re-leveling the machine. Refer to the following chart for the suggested
starting points.

To begin leveling, start with the center section. Refer to Center Section Initial Leveling. Leveling should be done from
side to side and then from front to back. When the center section has been leveled, level the main wings. Go on to Wing
Leveling to level the main wings. If the machine is equipped with outer wings, level them after the main wings have been
leveled.
NOTE: Final leveling should be done in the field with the air drill at the actual working depth. Refer to the section on

10. Due to different wheel loadings, final depth leveling

should be done in the field.
page 2-7
FINAL LEVELING
NOTE: Due to different wheel loadings, final depth leveling should be done in the field at the actual working depth to
accurately adapt to different depths of tire depression.
1. Choose an area that is level and even.
NOTE: If soil is frozen, penetration depth will be affected.
2. While moving forward, lower the machine into the ground to the approximate working depth and seed for a short
distance.
3. Measure the penetration depth by putting a straight edge (in front of the press wheels for easier identification of the
hardpan) across the top of the tilled soil and dig down to the seed level.
4. Carefully dig down to the bottom of the furrow to find the seed and measure the seed depth for both end rear openers
on the outermost tips of the center section (positions ‘C’ and ‘D’).
5. Start with the center section. Check and adjust the right-to-left leveling (positions ‘C’ and ‘D’). When properly leveled,
the depth of cut for the two openers at ‘C’ and ‘D’ will be equal.
6. While still on the center section, check and adjust the front-to-back leveling (positions ‘A’ and ‘B’).
7. Lower the machine into the ground to the approximate working depth and seed a short distance. Dig down to the bottom
of the furrow to find the seed and measure the seed depth for both front and rear openers. If the center section is level,
go on to the next step.
NOTE: For an in-field check: pick a pair of openers, one on the front bar then one on the rear bar, that will create a seed
row directly beside each other.
8. Check and adjust right-to-left leveling on the main wing (position ‘F’).
9. Check and adjust the front-to-back leveling (position ‘E’).
10. While moving forward, lower the machine into the ground to working depth and seed a short distance. If the main wings
are level, and the machine has outer wings, go on to level the outer wings (starting at the center and working outwards).
11. Check and adjust right-to-left leveling on the main wing (positions ‘H’).
12. Check and adjust the front-to-back leveling (position ‘G’).
13. Check and adjust the depth of the trip assembly and shank mounted to the stub on the hitch (I). (Applies to certain
configurations only.) First, lower the implement to working depth, then set the stub to the same height as the frame bars.
14. Before using the air drill, make sure that the lock bolts on all the caster wheels are secure and that the nuts on all the
bolster adjustment bolts have been tightened.

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Before setting the air drill depth:
Ensure machine has been leveled from front to back and side to side.
Ensure tires have correct operating pressure.
1. Set the operating depth of the air drill using the depth
adjustor screw (1) located on the center section rock
shaft.
2. Two depth stop valves (2) are fastened to the center

section fourth bar (4). As the machine is lowered, the
depth stop arm attached to the center section rock shaft
moves toward the bottom depth stop valve. When the
shut-off needle on the depth stop arm contacts the
depth stop valve, the depth stop valve closes, stopping
the air drill frame at the set operating height. By
extending or contracting the depth adjustor screw, the
operating height can be changed as required. With the
depth adjustor preset, the air drill can operate at the
preset operating height.
3. The top valve shut-off point is set by the 1/2" x 51/2"

all thread bolt (7) on the lower leg of the depth stop
arm. This must be set so that cylinders will extend a
maximum of 59 cm (23 1/4") before valve shuts off oil
flow. The remaining 20 mm (3/4") of stroke must be
left so that the cylinders can exchange oil and move
slightly as frame follows undulating ground in
transport. The frame must remain flexible in
298132M1
transport. Depth Adjustor Crank Location
4. To adjust the screw, first loosen the depth arm jam (6).
5. Turning the screw clockwise extends the screw rod (5),

which raises the air drill operating position. Turning
the screw counterclockwise contracts the adjustor rod,
which lowers the operating position.
6. After adjusting the screw, tighten the depth arm jam.
NOTE: Be sure the air drill is in the raised position

before turning the depth adjustor screw.
page 2-10
SETTING THE DEPTH GAUGE
The depth gauge provided with the air drill is mounted to

the front caster and is intended as a reference only.
Actual working depth of the air drill should be set with the
depth stop valve during field operation and checked

SWEEP PITCH ADJUSTMENTS
On 550 pound release trips, there are adjustments for

setting the sweep pitch if required. Complete initial
leveling. Measure the sweep pitch. referring to the figure.
All sweeps on a given row should be equal. Adjust trips
as required. A positive sweep pitch occurs when the
sweep tip is lower than its heel. The sweep pitch of a
cultivator under load should not be more than +7/ or less
than +2/.
CAUTION! To avoid personal injury or death, use utmost

caution when adjusting the trip assembly since the
trip release spring is in compression. Do not turn
the jamnut off further than flush with the end of the
bolt.
NOTE: Spring is still under extreme load when nuts are fully retracted. The unit was assembled with a hydraulic
clamping fixture and should in no circumstance be field disassembled.

SERVICING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION! Disengage power and shut down the tractor. Be

certain all moving parts have stopped before
servicing, adjusting, cleaning, or unclogging the
equipment.
Always be sure air drill is hooked to a stable

device before activating hydraulics.
Never operate wing lift system when anyone is

within radius of the wings.
Always follow correct operating procedure when

folding and unfolding wings.
CAUTION! Tractor engine should be stopped and wheels

blocked to prevent any movement during servic-
ing.
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can

penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Check/tighten all connections before applying
pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to
search for leaks; never use your hand.
If any fluid is injected into the skin, seek immedi-

ate medical attention; if not treated within a few
hours, gangrene may result.
If servicing the air drill trips or the floating

hoe/shank assemblies, raise the depth control
system to its limit. As a safety measure, always
be sure the long transport safety strut locks are in
place to prevent uncontrolled dropping of the
depth control system in case of hydraulic failure.
Always be sure wings are lowered to field position

before servicing the air drill.

The air drill frame design and shank layout provide excellent clearance when working in heavy trash. The floating
hoe/shank assemblies may be used for 12", 9", or 7.2" spacing.
The results obtained from the air drill are directly related to air drill depth uniformity. Poor leveling, dull shovels, uneven
tire pressures, and bent shanks must be avoided to obtain optimum field results.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WHEELS
Reassemble the wheel on the caster fork.
1. When mounting the wheel, ensure it is free to rotate.
2. While rotating the wheel, tighten the adjusting nut

until positive contact between rollers and raceways
occurs. Positive contact is felt when the wheel is
slightly binding as it is being rotated.
3. Back off the nut 1/4 of a turn to allow the wheel to

freely rotate again. End play should be targeted in
the .0254 and .127 mm (0.001" to 0.0005") range and
can be measured with a dial indicator if available.
202017M1
Assembled Wheel with Hub
NOTE: If the bearing still binds after backing off the
adjusting nut, completely loosen the adjusting
nut and start the procedure over again from
Step 1.
Failure to back off the adjusting nut or pre-

loading the bearings by over-tightening the
adjusting nut may cause the bearings to run hot
and lead to premature bearing failure.
4. Lock the assembly in place via lock nut or cotter pin.
NOTE: When using a locknut, the nut may change the

adjustment due to the gap between the threads.
Allowance for this change in adjustment should
be made in Step 3 to ensure that the final
endplay is in the correct range.
When using a cotter pin, the adjusting nut has
to be adjusted in Step 3 to line up with the shaft
pin hole.
5. Check to make sure the bearing rotates freely in the

locked position. If it does not, disassemble and start
the procedure over again.
NOTE: Refer to the following Caster Hub and Spindle

Assembly Parts page for assembly details.
NOTE: When re-packing the walking beams bearings,

refer to the Wheel Standards, Walking Beams,
Hubs, and Spindles Assembly parts pages for
assembly details.

CASTER TRANSPORT LOCK INSTALLATION
The following procedure describes how to install caster transport locks on the air drill.
IMPORTANT: Caster locks are to prevent shimmy and caster damage at transport speeds. Caster locks are
to be used for high speed transport only; they are not required for tractor towing. When casters
are locked, DO NOT corner short enough to contact pins or damage can result. DO NOT back
up with caster locks engaged.
SINGLE CASTER
Pull the machine ahead approximately 5 meters (20 feet)

to ensure the casters are facing directly forward.
Install one 5/8" x 2 1/2" coarse thread bolt (1) with a

lockwasher and nut into the back of each caster as shown.
Tighten the transport lock bolt (1) until the lockwasher is
compressed. Do not over-tighten.
201108M1
Single Caster Transport Lock
DUAL CASTER
Pull the machine ahead approximately 5 meters (20 feet)

to ensure the casters are facing straight forward.
Install the two caster locking plates (1 and 2) against the

caster mounting tab (3). Use one 3/4" x 4" coarse thread
bolt (1) with a lockwasher and nut. Tighten the transport
lock bolt (4) until the lockwasher is compressed. Do not
over-tighten.
NOTE: The mounting holes in the caster locking plates

(1 and 2) are off-center. The caster lock
mounting location is also off-center. Match the
offset of the two lock plates (1 and 2) with
offset of the caster mounting location.

HYDRAULICS
DANGER! After hydraulic repair or maintenance, bleed the
air from the hydraulic system. Air in the system
could cause a loss in pressure. This loss in
pressure could cause the wings to fall
unexpectedly, causing death or serious injury.
Stand clear of the machine when the hydraulic
cylinders are being extended and retracted.
CAUTION! ESCAPING HYDRAULIC FLUID IS A SERIOUS
HAZARD. Escaping hydraulic fluid that is under
pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Relieve pressure before disconnecting the
hydraulic lines. Do not over-tighten swivel
connections. Check/tighten all connections
BEFORE activating hydraulics.
IMPORTANT: Use a thread sealant on male to female pipe thread connections only. Do not use a thread
sealant on O.R.B. or swivel connections.

CAUTION! Lower the machine and block the wheels before

beginning work on the cylinders. Ensure the
pressure in the cylinder has been relieved, by fully
retracting the sub-bar cylinders and holding the
hydraulic control lever for three to five minutes to
remove air from the system.
NOTE: Refer to the Hydraulic Cylinder Parts Pages

When installing the seals ensure that the grooves and

the seals are clean and have sufficient lubrication.
When inserting the end caps into the tube, ensure that
the tube chamfers or radiuses have sufficient
lubrication all around the tube surface.

Any small scratches should be removed before the cylinder
is reassembled. If there are deep grooves in the piston,
there most likely will be deep grooves worn in the barrel
and the barrel should be replaced. If a barrel shown rust in
any area where the o-ring must travel it should be
replaced.
REASSEMBLY OF CYLINDER
Reassemble the end cap onto the shaft:
11. The wiper seal on the rod cap makes it difficult to

slide the rod cap back onto the shaft the way it was
removed. To reassemble the rod cap, first remove the
nut from the piston shaft.
Thread a locknut (1) and a jam nut (2) on the threaded 202046M1
clevis end of the piston shaft. Shaft in Vise
Place the nut (1) into the vise and use an air tool and
socket (3) to loosen the nut on the piston end of the
shaft.
12. Replace the cap (2) onto the shaft. Move the shaft so
the opposite locking nut (1) is in the vise. Apply
Loctite to the piston nut and tighten using an air tool
and socket (3).

18. Install rod clevis, visually inspect to see if the rod

clevis is square and aligned to the center line of the
cylinder. The set screw should be in the center of the
casting. Rod clevis must thread freely, do not force
rod clevis to thread to position.
Install nylon thread lock and set screw. Torque set

screw to 30 +/- 5 N-m (22 +/- 4 foot-pounds). This is
a critical parameter ensure the rod clevis will not work
itself loose while in operation.

REPLACING THE CYLINDER ON THE MACHINE AND BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
19. Prop the cylinder body up with a block of wood or

other suitable material. Attach the cylinders at the
base end on the frame, leaving the rod end detached.
20. Connect the hoses to the cylinder and to the tractor.

Extend and retract the cylinders a couple of times.
Maintain the hydraulic pressure for a minimum of 30
seconds.
21. Extend the cylinders one more time, while

maintaining the pressure at full extension for one
minute to allow all of the air to escape from the
cylinders.
22. Reattach the rod ends to the frame and fold and
unfold the wings. Check for correct operation.
DANGER! Stand clear of the machine when folding and

unfolding the wings. Mechanical or hydraulic
failure could cause the wings to free fall, causing
death or injury.

AMP CRIMPING PROCEDURE
Strip wire to 6 mm (.24 inches), taking care not to nick or

cut wire strands. Select the required contact and identify
the appropriate crimp section of the tool according to the
wire size markings. Refer to the figure and proceed as
follows.
1. Hold the tool so that the back (wire side) is facing you.
Squeeze tool handles together and allow them to open
fully.
2. Holding the contact by the mating end, insert the

contact - insulation barrel first - through the front of
the tool and into the appropriate crimp section.
3. Position the contact so that the matching end of the

contact is on the locator side of the tool, and so that the
open ‘u’ of the wire and insulation barrels face the top
of the tool. Place the contact up into the nest so that
902022S
the movable locator drops into the slot in the contact. Crimping Tool
(Refer to the figure.) Butt the front end of the wire
barrel against the movable locator.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that both sides of the

insulation barrel are started evenly
into the crimping section. DO NOT
attempt to crimp an improperly
positioned contact.
4. Hold the contact in position and squeeze the tool

handles together until ratchet engages sufficiently to
hold the contact in position. Do not deform the
insulation barrel or wire barrel.
5. Insert the stripped wire into the contact insulation and

wire barrels until it is butted against the wire stop, as
shown in the figure to the right.
6. Holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles

together until the ratchet releases. Allow tool handles
to open and remove crimped contact.
NOTE: The crimped contact may stick in the crimping

area, but the contact can be easily removed by
pushing downward on top of the locator. 902023S

SERVICE GUIDE FOR OFFSET SHANK LOCATIONS
This service guide is for informational purposes only. It is a tool to be used when determining whether offset shanks should
be used in certain locations on the air drill. This document identifies those locations on the air drill where the shank
dimension (indicated on the assembly drawing for shank layouts), cannot be achieved using straight shanks.
Each page of this guide displays a drawing and a chart. The drawings show the location of shanks on the air drill when
viewed from above. Potential problem locations are identified with capital letters (eg: ‘A’) all others are left blank. The
charts contain pertinent information to be used when deciding whether an offset shank is necessary or not.
Offset shanks are not supplied for all potentially ‘tight’ locations. It is the responsibility of the end user and the dealer to
determine (using this information) how much misalignment is deemed acceptable and at what point straight shanks should
be substituted with offset shanks.

Shank Letter
The letters in this row of the table correspond to the letters identifying potential problem shanks on the drawing displayed
on the page. Shanks are identified in ascending order from left to right.
Datum Location
Each shank in the chart is given an alpha-numeric designation. This designation is the datum location of that particular
shank found on the assembly drawing for that configuration. The letter indicates the datum surface measured from and the
number is the distance from the datum surface to the center of the ground tool.
Misalignment
This number refers to the theoretical amount of misalignment that can be expected when attempting to assemble a straight
shank with a 250 kg (550 lb.) trip housing to the air drill in the location indicated on the assembly drawing. For example,
in the chart above, shank ‘B’ is on a 8.2 M - 18.3 cm (27' - 7.2") spaced machine. It is located 31.8 inches from datum ‘A’
(derived from the assembly drawing for 8.2 M (27') air drills, DR-128V4). When attempting to place shank ‘B’ in this
location, you cannot get closer than 0.5 inches to the dimension given, before interference is encountered. Misalignment
= .5"
IMPORTANT: The value given for misalignment is theoretical, actual values may vary.
The values given apply to 250 kg (550 lb) trips only. The 159 kg (350 lb) trips have narrower
housings therefore the misalignment will be less.
N/A values indicate that an offset shank is already supplied for that location.
Offset Needed
The values in this row indicate whether a left or a right offset shank is needed in the particular location.

TRIP COMPRESSOR TOOL KIT
CAUTION! Do not attempt to remove the tension link nuts

until the compressor is securely in place and
rigidly restraining the trip spring. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in injury.
The trip compressor tool kit includes the main compressor frame assembly, three trip mounting feet, a jack pivot clip and
pin, a hydraulic jack, and the necessary hardware to install and use the tool. The tool is used to safely release all spring
energy from the trip mechanism prior to disassembly. Each mount foot is designed to work with a single trip series (350
pounds and 550 pounds). The mount foot stamped with the numeral ‘1' is used on the 350 lb trip and the ‘2' foot is for the
550 lb trip.

SWEEP PITCH ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: Before making the sweep pitch adjustment,
check the V-bolt and U-bolt torque values on
the trip. Refer to table ‘Trip Torque
Specifications’.
1. The openers need to be adjusted to avoid premature

wear. The trip should be adjusted so there is a positive
sweep pitch.
NOTE: A positive sweep pitch occurs when the
301011M1
sweep tip is lower than its heel. Sweep Pitch Adjustment Procedure
2. Complete the initial leveling of your machine.
- If you are using a non-adjustable bubble

level, adjust the position of the hitch
tongue/front caster tires to set the machine
frame level in the raised position.
- If you are using an adjustable level, zero the

level to the frame, and then proceed with
adjusting trip angles.
3. Clamp a piece of flat material (1) under the bottom of

the sweep (2).
4. Set a level (3) parallel to the frame under the flat

material (1) and measure the distance from the level to
the flat material near the heel of the sweep (4). The
measurements for the proper sweep angle should
resemble the values shown (figure at right). If the
openers need to be adjusted go to step five to change
the sweep angle.
NOTE: Knife openers do not have a flat surface to

clamp onto. Therefore, use a precision
protractor or angle finder to directly measure
the angle to the surface. Refer to the knife
opener in the figure at right. Sweep Pitch Adjustment Measurements
CAUTION! To avoid personal injury or death, use caution

when adjusting the trip assembly since the trip
release spring is in compression. Do not turn the
jamnut off further than flush with the end of the
bolt.
The spring is still under extreme load when the
nuts are fully retracted. The unit was assembled
with a hydraulic clamping fixture and should in no
circumstance be disassembled without the proper
compression tool. (Compression tool is available,
order TP-950K.)
page 6-37
5. To change the sweep angle:
- Loosen the jamnut (1) but do not remove it.
- Turn the adjustment nut (2) to change the

sweep angle.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the leveling procedure to

complete the initial leveling of your
machine.
If you are using a non-adjustable

bubble level, adjust the position of
the hitch tongue/front caster tires to
set the machine frame level in the
raised position.
If you are using an adjustable level,

zero the level to the frame, and
then proceed with adjusting trip
angles.

HOSES
When installing hoses, first measure them. Leave some

slack for folding and hose equalization and then cut and
install. Refer to the air package assembly manuals for
more detailed information on hose layout and assembly.
Primary Hoses - the 2 1/2" hoses (1) that run from the air
cart manifold to the headers on the implement.
When assembling an air pack, the longest hoses should run

from the inner section of the manifold (on the air cart) to
the outside secondary manifold on the implement. The
length of the hoses should be roughly equal, so there is
even product delivery. Primary hoses should be left slack
and loosely coiled to have even lengths. Hoses should be Primary Hoses from Center Manifold to 202070M1
crossed at the hitch connection so the hoses are not Implement
overlapping on the implement.
Secondary Hoses - are the 1" hoses (1) that run from the
header (2) to the openers.
When assembled, the hoses should be similar in length.

The longest hoses lead to the opener farthest away. Hoses
should be spiraled and gently sloped to the opener; avoid
having sharp bends in the hoses.
Attaching Secondary Hoses to Secondary Manifolds -

Secondary hoses can be removed by twisting the clamp,
pushing one side towards the center of the manifold, and
pulling the other tab back. This will release the clamps
that hold the secondary hoses in the manifold ports. Header and Secondary Hoses 202069M1
Reattach hoses to the secondary manifold by squeezing the
ends of the clamp together.
Headers - Headers need to be inspected for blockage.

Remove tops (1) for inspection. Check for wear and
replace if necessary.

page 7-7
THEORY OF OPERATION - AIR SYSTEM

NOTE: Refer to your Air Cart Service Manual for more information on the air system delivery system from the air cart
to the tillage equipment.
Maintaining similar lengths of hose on all 2 1/2" primary lines is extremely important. The pressure across all the primary
lines at the meter box must be as close as possible to reduce the chance of both cross migration of product between the
primary lines, and the suction of extra product past the meter roller.
Since the pressure at the meter box is the sum of all the pressure drops through the primary lines and the pressure drop is
directly dependent on length of the hoses, the hoses must be kept as close to each other in length as possible. An acceptable
length difference would be about four feet. The hoses with more bends can also cause pressure drops and therefore should
be shorter. The shorter hoses can be crossed over at the manifold and hitch area to allow for the extra equalizing of length.
It is important that no hose ever be looped, causing the product to do a 360 degree change in direction. The air flow through
the product delivery tubes into the manifolds is not uniform. The inner tubes have higher air velocity than the outer tubes.
At low fan speeds this may not be apparent; it is more noticeable at high fan speeds.
BALANCING THE AIR FLOW

Balance the air system by either increasing the length of primary hoses or gently looping them. Length of the hoses should
be similar, with the longer hoses going to the outside headers. When installing an air package on a seeding tool it is critical
to make the left side hose layout a mirror image of the right side. Avoid sharp bends, corners, and kinks when routing hoses
as hose life can be reduced and product flow will be affected. To ensure a balanced air flow, you can test product delivery.
Refer to ‘Methods of Determining Adequate Carrying Velocities’.
Air Flow to the Implement
page 7-8
DETERMINING ADEQUATE CARRYING VELOCITIES
OPEN HOSE METHOD
NOTES: The Velocity Chart Method is another way of determining velocity, if the air cart is equipped with velocity
sensors. Refer to the air cart service manual for more information.
The appropriate method to be used depends on the configuration of the air cart.
Using excessive velocity will damage seed, increase wear on the system, blast seed out of the seed bed and
require increased fan speed. Inadequate air velocity will result in plugged lines. To check if the fan speed and
air damper settings are suitable for seeding, check product placement behind several openers and observe the
seed planting depth.
CAUTION! To avoid injury, stay well clear of air hose outlet

when performing this procedure. Seed or fertilizer
blowing out at a high speed can cause blindness
or other personal injuries. Wear personal
protection equipment, including eye protection, to
prevent injury caused by flying products.

SAFETY DURING OPERATION
DANGER! Stand clear of implement when endmarker is

being folded or unfolded. Disc blade on end of
boom swings out fast and covers a large area.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in
serious injury or death.
ALWAYS be certain that no one is behind or around implement while operating hydraulics.
DO NOT RIDE on implement during operation.
BE SURE reflector decals are clearly visible from all sides of implement and the Slow Moving Vehicle sign is at the rear
of implement in clear view of overtaking traffic. Five-section implements with tow between seeders require SMV sign on
the end of marker boom near disc.
BE AWARE of overhead electrical lines. Proceed cautiously under overhead electrical lines and around utility poles.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact with overhead electrical lines.
ALWAYS fold endmarkers in before putting implement into transport.
ALWAYS have implement in field position before folding out endmarker.
AVOID hitting obstacles with endmarker.
SAFETY DECALS
KEEP SAFETY DECALS CLEAN. Wipe clean when necessary.
REPLACE missing, or unreadable decals. New decals are available from your dealer. Decals can be replaced as follows.
1. Remove old decal and clean area where new decal will be affixed.
2. Remove new decal backing and carefully affix decal to implement.
3. Using a clean piece of paper or the decal backing itself, work air bubbles out from under the decal.
DECAL LOCATIONS
1. This decal is located on the top and bottom side of the disc end of the outer boom.

ENDMARKER MAINTENANCE
DISC HUB ASSEMBLY
Inspect hub for excessive play or looseness. Inspect disc

for wear and/or cracks. Replace if necessary.
Disc Hub Assembly
RELEASE ARM PIVOT ASSEMBLY
Grease the release arm pivot assembly weekly. There are three grease zerks (1) on the release arm pivot assembly.
Release Arm Pivot Assembly
page 8-18
WIDTH ADJUSTMENT
The marker boom length can be easily set to adapt to different implement and tractor widths. It can be set to mark to the
center of the implement or to other positions such as the front tractor tire. To adjust, loosen the 3/4" all thread bolts on the
boom clamps, slide the marker boom in or out to the desired width and re-tighten clamp bolts. After the marker width is
set, mark the location of the arm for future adjustment.
COUNTERBALANCE SPRING ADJUSTMENT
DANGER! Stand clear of implement when endmarkers are

being folded or unfolded. Disc unit on end of
The counterbalance spring should be set tight enough so that when the boom is folded back it will rotate the endmarker
assembly up until the counter balance stopper bolt (2) rests against the male mount bracket (3). The spring should also be
set loose enough that there is adequate weight on the disc to make a well defined mark in the ground. Try to keep as little
weight as possible on the disc.
To adjust the counterbalance spring:
1. Swing out boom and remove 5/8" x 2 1/2" stopper bolt

(2) from female counterbalance bracket (4).
2. Swing boom back into transport position and rotate

fully upwards. Blocks may be required to hold marker
up high enough to readjust spring tension.
3. Reposition shackle (5) on adjustment chain (6) or

reposition anchor (7) on implement frame. Remove
blocks.
4. Swing out boom and reinstall 5/8" x 2 1/2" stopper bolt

(2) and locknut.
Counterbalance Spring Adjustment
5. Re-check counterbalance spring tension with the boom
folded in and folded out.
page 8-19
RELEASE ARM ADJUSTMENT
The release arm mechanism allows the boom to be kicked back by an obstacle in the field and return to operating position
on its own. The kick back force and return strength can both be adjusted to suit the operating conditions. See figure below
for the adjustment procedure.
WARNING! Use care when adjusting release arm assem-

bly. Stand clear of boom and keep hands
away from hinge points. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious injury.
Initial settings:
1. Adjust the locknut (1)on the release arm spring eyebolt (2) so the spring (3) is extended about 2.5 cm (1").
2. Adjust the release arm adjustor bolt (5) so that the center of the pivot bolt (6) is about 1.8 cm (1/2") off the cylinder
centerline as shown.
Release Arm Adjustment

To check release arm adjustment:
1. The spring on the release arm should be set so the boom returns on its own after it has been kicked back.
- Tightening the locknut will make the boom return faster and increase the initial force needed to kick back the
marker boom.
- Loosening the locknut will make the boom return slower and decrease the initial force needed to kick back
the marker boom.
2. The release arm adjustor bolt should be set so that a person can manually fold the boom back.
- Increasing the distance between the adjustor bolt center and the cylinder centerline decreases the force
required to kick back the boom.
- Decreasing the distance between the adjustor bolt center and the cylinder centerline increases the force
required to kick back the boom.
3. Test the kick back force and return force in the field and reset the adjustor bolt and spring tension if necessary.
page 8-20
BOOM HINGE ADJUSTMENT
The boom hinge adjustment allows the stationary boom (1) and swinger boom (2) to be adjusted parallel and at the same
height. The hinge is initially set at the factory but can be readjusted if required.
1. Loosen the 5/8" x 3 1/2" bolts and locknuts (5).
2. Turn the offset hinge pin (4) with a 1 1/2" wrench or other suitable tool. Turning the pin raises and lowers the outer end
of the swinger boom.
3. Adjust so the roller (5) (located at the end of the stationary boom) is centered in the boom alignment guide (6) on the
swinger boom.
4. Re-tighten the 5/8" bolts and locknuts (3).
