Front Roller Angle Adjustment

Refer to Figure 3-1:

NOTE: Gang slide (#1) is shown in its furthest back position. In this position, both bent pins (#6) are in front of the gang slide as shown. In all other positions, one bent pin is in back of the gang slide and the other is in front of the gang slide.

1.Lower seeder frame onto blocks supporting the front rollers just above ground level to allow the front rollers to move freely.

2.Shut tractor engine off and engage parking brake.

3.Remove bent pins (#6) and operate roller angling lever (#3) to reposition front rollers (#2) to the desired angle.

4.Replace bent pins (#6) with one on each side of gang slide (#1). Secure bent pins with hair pin cotters (#5).

5.Remove support blocks and lower seeder to ground level.

IMPORTANT: If 1" hex flange lock nuts (#4) have been loosened, they should be retightened until they make contact with gang slide (#1) and then backed off 1/3 revolution (2 hex flats). Some additional backing off of the nuts may be necessary to allow the gang slide to move easily when adjusting roller angle with lever (#3).
