BOLT TORQUE Mounting bolts and hardware Before operating the Residue Manager for the first time, check to be sure that all hardware is tight. Check all hardware again after approximately 50 hours of operation and at the beginning of each planting season. All hardware used on the Residue Manager is Grade 5 unless otherwise noted. Grade 5 cap screws are marked with three radial lines on the head. If hardware must be replaced, be sure to replace it with hardware of equal size, strength and thread type.
OPERATION ROW CLEANER DO’S AND DON’TS 1. DO NOT move soil; Residue Managers are designed to move crop residue only. 2. DO NOT operate planter at slow speeds, ground speed affects how aggressive the spoke wheels are; operate at sufficient speed (4-6 mph) to maintain good residue flow. 3. DO NOT expect 100% of crop residue to be cleared, it is not necessary and would necessitate engaging the soil. The width of path cleared depends on ground conditions, depth setting and ground speed. 4.

Our name Is getting known Just a few years ago, Yetter products were sold primarily to the Midwest only. Then we embarked on a program of expansion and moved into the East, the South, the West and now north into Canada. We’re even getting orders from as far away as Australia and Africa. So, when you buy Yetter products . . .you’re buying a name that’s recognized. A name that’s known and respected.
