Adjust Frame Height and Level Machine (CCS Machines Only)

  1. NOTE: During operation, parallel arms must be parallel to the ground or angled slightly upward toward frame.

    NOTE: If machine is equipped with variable rate drive, the gauge wheel with the motion sensor is designed to float and uses a separate adjustment procedure.

    Drive tractor and machine onto level ground. Lower to planting position while driving forward.

  2. Set frame height to 510—560 mm (20—22 in.) above ground with hitch depth stop. If using single lever SCV control, fully lower hitch and adjust tractor lift links to proper length to achieve 20 - 22" frame height.

  3. Level planter front to rear by extending lift assist wheel cylinders and install appropriate cylinder stops.

  4. Check to be sure planting units are parallel with ground when in planting position.

  5. Adjust frame gauge wheels to have firm contact with the ground.

  6. Recheck frame height.

Floating Drive-Gauge Wheels

A - Dimension

B - Cap Screw

C - Jam Nut

D - Nut

E - Jam Nut

IF EQUIPPED WITH VARIABLE RATE DRIVE: Adjust floating drive-gauge wheel (wheel with motion sensor installed) as follows:

  1. NOTE: Dimension (A) is measured between bottom of cap screw (B) head and top of washer.

    Loosen jam nut (C).

  2. NOTE: In uneven terrain conditions, set dimension (A) to 70 mm (2-3/4 in.).

    Adjust nut (D) until dimension (A) is 51 mm (2 in.) for normal terrain conditions.

  3. Tighten jam nut (C).
