Prior Going To The FieldDetracker Placement

Refer to Figure 5Adjust detracker frames to approximate location asshown in Figure 5 to clear other parts on machine. Adjustcoulter assemblies to cover tire tracks.

Detracker Adjustments

Refer to Figure 6Spring Adjustment12. Coulters springs are preset at 10”, giving the

coulters an initial operating force of 400 pounds.This setting is adequate for many no-till conditions.For lighter no-till conditions where rocks or otherobstructions are a problem, you can lengthen thesprings to protect the coulters from impact.

Note: Setting the coulter spring length shorter than 9.75”may contribute to premature failure of parts andvoids the warranty.

Detracter Height Adjustment13. The initial height of the detracker coulter assemblies

is 1 1/2” - 2” deeper than the machine gangs. Toadjust the height, loosen the set screws on theclamp shanks and slide the shank up or down tothe desired height, then re-tighten set screws.

Note: May need to adjust coulter height for different fieldconditions.

14. Be sure all bolts are tightened to specs, See“Torque Value Chart” on page 6.

15. This completes the setup.
