BE ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED.
WATCH FOR THIS SYMBOL. IT POINTS OUT IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
IT MEANS “ATTENTION---BECOME ALERT!”
It is your responsibility as an owner, operator, or supervisor to know and instruct everyone using
this machine at the time of initial assignment and at least annually thereafter, of the proper
operation, precautions, and work hazards which exist in the operation of the machine in accordance
with OSHA regulations.
Safety Is No Accident
The following safety instructions, combined with common sense, will save your
equipment from needless damage and the operator from unnecessary exposure to
personal hazard. Pay special attention to the caution notes in the text. Review this
manual at least once each year with new and/or experienced operators.
1. Read and understand the operator’s manual before operating this machine. Failure
to do so is considered a misuse of the equipment.
2. Make sure equipment is secure before operating.
3. Always keep children away from equipment when operating.
4. Make sure everyone that is not directly involved with the operation is out of the
work area before beginning the operation.
5. Make sure all safety devices, shields, and guards are in place and are functional
before beginning the operation.
6. Shut off power to adjust, service, or clean.
7. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts. It is a good idea to remove
all jewelry before starting the operation.
8. Visually inspect the machine periodically during operation for signs of excessive
vibration, loose fasteners, and unusual noises.
WARNING: Never work around the toolbar/implement while in a raised position without
using safety lockups.
CAUTION: The 10000 Series Magnum
TM
coulters are very heavy. Pay extra
attention to lifting techniques when handling or maneuvering the coulter
during assembly. Failure to do so may lead to personal injury.

BOLT TORQUE
Before operating the 10000 Series Magnum
™
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 10000 Series Magnum
™
is Grade 5 unless otherwise
specified. 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. Refer to the torque table below when tightening hardware.
Important: Over tightening hardware can cause as much damage as when
under tightening. Tightening hardware beyond the recommended range can
reduce its shock load capacity.
The chart below is a guide for proper torque. Use it unless a specified torque is called out
elsewhere in the manual.
Torque is the force you apply to the wrench handle or the cheater bar, times the length of the
handle or bar.
Use a torque wrench whenever possible.
The following table shows torque in ft. lbs. for coarse thread hardware.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Never work under the toolbar while in a raised position without
using safety lockups.
WARNING: Use extreme caution, the blade is sharp and may cause bodily
injury. The coulter can be mounted to the toolbar using different techniques.
One way is to mount the main arm assembly to the toolbar and then attach
the components one at a time. Another way is to completely assemble the coulter
before attaching to the toolbar frame.
CAUTION: 10000 Magnum
TM
Fertilizer Coulter and its components are very
heavy. Extra attention to lifting techniques while handling and or maneuvering
the coulter during assembly is very important. Failure to do so may lead to
personal injury or death.
STEP 1: Mark the toolbar frame as to the location that each coulter is to be mounted.
IMPORTANT: Install an equal quantity of right hand and left hand coulters to each
section of the toolbar. Example: A 30’ – 3 section toolbar with 12 coulters (6R & 6L)
will need to install 2R and 2L coulters on each section of the toolbar. If any questions
concerning assembly of coulters, then please contact Yetter Farm Equipment for
recommendations at 800-447-5777.
Note: The coulter blade is in line with the center of the mount bracket. Measure from left
edge to left edge or from right edge to right edge to ensure the coulters are mounted at
the desired spacing.

MAINTENANCE
Practice Safety
Understand and practice safe service procedures before doing work. Follow ALL the
operating, maintenance, and safety information in the equipment operator’s manual.
Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children, when performing any
maintenance or adjustments. Keep work area clean and dry. Use adequate lighting for
the job. Use only tools, jacks, and hoists of sufficient capacity for the job.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust a machine while it is moving. Keep hands, feet, and
clothing free from power-driven moving parts. Disengage all power and operate controls
to relieve pressure. Lower equipment to the ground and stop the engine. Remove the
key. Wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing, or
unplugging.
Securely support any machine elements with blocks or safety stands that must be
raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damaged equipment
immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or
debris from the equipment.
Make sure all guards and in place and properly secured when maintenance work is
completed.

15
MAINTENANCE
Lubrication Intervals
Lubricate with grease at hourly interval indicated on symbol.
IMPORTANT: The recommended service intervals are based on normal oberating
conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may requre more frequent lubrication.
Perform each lubrication and service procedure at the beginning and each of
each season. Clean grease fittings before using grease gun to avoid injecting dirt
and grit into the bearing. Replace and lost or broken fittings immediately. If a
fitting fails to take grease, remove and clean thoroughly, replace if necessary.
Also check for failure of adjoining parts.
Bearing Replacement Installation
1. When assembling the spoke wheels, bearing assembly, and hubcap, be sure to
align the grease transfer hole in the spoke wheel with the grove in the hubcap
and hole in the hub to allow grease passage.
2. Assembly the wheels, hubs, and caps.
3. Grease the wheel/hub/bearing assembly.

16
MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
CAUTION: To help prevent serious injury or death to you or others, service
machinery on a level surface. Lower machine to ground or sufficiently
lock or block raised machine before servicing. If machine is connected
to tractor, engage parking brake and place transmission in “PARK”,
shut off engine and remove key. If machine is detached from tractor, block
wheels and use jack stands to prevent movement.
CAUTION: Do not clean, lubricate, or adjust machine while in motion.
Use grease based on NLGI consistency number and the expected air temperature
range during operation.
Use a multi-purpose polyurea, water resistant, moderate speed, and NLGI grade
#2 grease. Other greases may be used if they meet the NLGI performance standard.
IMPORTANT: Some types of grease thickener are not compatible with others. Consult
your grease supplier before mixing different types of grease.
Alternative Lubricants
Conditions in certain geographical areas may require special lubricants and lubrication
practices which do not appear in the operator’s manual. If there are any questions,
consult Yetter Manufacturing Co. to obtain the latest information and reccomendations.

Store them in an area protected from dust, moisture, and other contaminants.

17
MAINTENANCE
Storing the Equipment
Store the machine in an area away from human activity.
Store the machine in a RAISED position.
Install service locks on all wheel cylinders.
At the end of the season the machine should be thoroughly inspected and prepared for
storage. Repair or replace any worn or damaged components to prevent down time at
the beginning of the following season. Store machine under cover with all parts in
operating condition.
•Clean machine thoroughly to remove all dirt, debris, and crop residue.
•Inspect machine for worn or broken parts. See your Yetter Farm Equipment
dealer during the off-season so parts and service can be acquired when the
machine is not needed in the field.
•Lubricate bearings as outlined in the lubrication section.
•Paint all parts which are chipped or worn to prevent rust.
•Store machine in a clean, dry location with the unit out of the sun.
•If the machine cannot be stored inside, cover with a waterproof tarpaulin and tie
securely in place
•Do not allow children to play on or around the machine

18
MAINTENANCE
BEARING ADJUSTMENT:
1. Raise the toolbar until the blade is clear of the ground. Place a safety stand
under the toolbar. Remove the blade. Remove the hub cap, cotter pin, slotted
nut, washer and spacer from the spindle shaft assembly.
2. Pull the coulter spindle shaft assembly from the hub. Remove bearing cones and
seal.
3. Wash the old grease from the hub, bearing cups, coulter spindle shaft, seal and
bearing cones. Inspect the condition of bearing cups, cones and seal. Replace if
necessary.
4. Apply #2 multi-purpose polyurea grease on each bearing. Make sure the space
around each roller is filled. Lubricate the bearing cups.
5. Position the bearing in the cup and install the seal. Lubricate the seal lips and
proceed with re-assembly of the removed parts including the blade. Blade bolt
torque is 90 to 96 ft/lbs.
6. Tighten the slotted nut to 10 to 15 ft/lbs. or until a definite drag is felt when the
blade is turned by hand. Back off the nut one slot position to line up the cotter
pin hole with a slot. Secure the nut with a new cotter pin.
KNIFE WEAR:
The lower portion of the scraper and tube are subject to wear during operation. The
rate of wear will depend on a variety of factors and in abrasive hard soil conditions the
wear will be more rapid.
NOTE: In certain areas, replacement knives should be kept in stock, replacing worn
knives as needed.
ADJUST KNIFE TO BLADE CONTACT on each opener so the blade will turn by
hand with slight resistance, but will not coast or freewheel. In loose soil the knife
adjustment is critical. If adjustment is not maintained, soil or residue may wedge
between knife and blade, resulting in the blade not turning. Because of blade run
out, rotate the blade one full revolution after adjustment. Re-adjust knife as
needed. Never strike the knife with a heavy object or damage may occur.
To adjust, use shims or adjust knife mounting out.
