Set Up Service manual MODEL 80XX Planter Shaker Position The position of the shaker is the most effective adjustment when trying to change the shake for different seed and different conditions There is a coarse adjustment knob 4 and a fine adjustment knob 5 A good starting point is to loosen the coarse adjustment and with the shaker on let it move to a stabilized point Tighten the course adjustment and with the shaker on let it move to a stabilized point Tighten the course adjustment and them move the shaker in more shake or out less shake depending on seed cut and the planting speed Turning the fin adjustment knob 5 clockwise will add more shake Seed Depth The seed depth is controlled by controlling the depth of the front of the planter On a planter with front depth wheels this is done by adjusting the turnbuckles 6 on the depth wheels On a drawbar style planter with no depth wheels the depth is controlled with the drawbar cylinder 7 on the drawbar 8 and Cylinder Stops 3 4 to 2 in 4 increments placed around the shaft 9 to achieve proper depth There is also a small gage wheel attachment available that controls two rows independent of the others This is a mechanical linkage adjustment m ay Service manual MODEL soxx ene SPUDNIK Configuration and Functions of the Planter Row Unit Set Up Covering Disks The down pressure on the discs is controlled by tightening the sprin
