Avoid injury from unexpected component movement. Relieve pneumatic system pressure before service or manual adjustments.

Safely support machine before service.

Use the pin fastener (D) to lock up the row cleaners for service or storage. Remove pin before operation.

The function of the row cleaner is to sweep aside residue without moving soil.

Ground conditions, depth adjustment, and ground speed affect the width of path cleared.

Do not expect 100% removal of crop residue. Complete residue removal is not necessary. Complete removal requires engagement of soil, which is not recommended.

Expect row cleaners to stop turning occasionally when they are properly adjusted above soil surface.

Adjust planter frame height and level the planter for proper row cleaner operation (See Preparing Machine section).

IMPORTANT: Operation with maximum down force or when mounted in the lowest position can affect seed depth.

NOTE: Avoid operation in excessively rocky conditions. Contact with obstacles can raise entire row unit and alter seed depth.

If the residue clearing action is too aggressive, standard tine tooth wheels are available from your dealer.

Adjust down force according to residue conditions and to maintain the target seed depth. (See SeedStar™ 3 Operator’s Manual for operation and adjustment through display.)

To adjust the initial height of row cleaners, do the following:

1. Adjust the pressure on row cleaners to support them at a mid-level position.
2. Establish the target planting depth.
3. Lower frame while moving forward.
4. Remove and retain cap screws and nuts (A) from height adjustment holes (B).
5. Position row cleaner blades above soil surface then install and tighten cap screws and nuts (A).
6. Adjust down force according to residue conditions and to maintain the target seed depth. (See SeedStar™ 3 Operator’s Manual for operation and adjustment through display.)
7. Verify correct operation of all row cleaners.
