The word NOTE is used to convey information
that is out of context with the manual text. It
contains special information such as
specifications, techniques and reference
information of a supplementary nature.
The word IMPORTANT is used in the text when
immediate damage will occur to the machine due
to improper technique or operation. Important will
apply to the same information as specified by
note only of an immediate and urgent nature.

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. Refer to the
torque values chart 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.
Lubricate all bearings and moving parts as assembled and make certain that they work freely.
WARNING: Never work around the toolbar/implement while in a raised position without using safety
lockups.
CAUTION: The Residue Manager attachments are very heavy. Pay extra attention to lifting techniques
while handling and or maneuvering the opener during assembly. Failure to do so may lead to personal
injury.

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. DO expect to see wheels occasionally quit turning, indicates ideal (shallow) setting which is
not moving soil.
5. DO adjust toolbar frame height 20”-22” and drawbar to “level” correctly. Very important to
ensure planter opener will follow ground contours properly.

OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
STOP
Read this before using the Yetter product.
-MACHINE OPERATION
IMPORTANT: failure to properly set the planter frame height and
levelness can result in less than successful operation of the planter and
the Yetter product and may result in damaged equipment. All operators
should read and thoroughly understand the instructions given prior to
using the Yetter product.
NOTE: DO NOT use this product if the planter is not adjusted properly!
Leveling the planter:
With the planter lowered to proper operating height (Usually 20”-22”). Read
the planter operator’s manual for recommended setting. Check to be sure
the toolbar and row unit parallel arms are level fore and aft. Re-check when
the planter is in the field and has been fully loaded with seed, fertilizer,
granular chemicals, etc. Also, a field check with a bubble level on the frame
should be made of the hitch height to ensure level operation front to back.
It is important for the planter to operate level laterally. Tire pressure must be
maintained at pressures specified by the manufacturer.
Field and actual planting conditions change and will dictate planter frame
heights. You must ensure that the row unit parallel arms are approximately
parallel with the ground.
IMPORTANT: For proper operation of the planter attachments and row units,
it is imperative that the planter toolbars and row unit parallel arms be level
side-to-side and front-to-rear. The toolbar frame should operate at a 20”-22”
height from the planting surface. Check the manufacturer’s operator’s
manual for instructions on how to adjust the frame height and levelness.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1. Attach the Residue Manager to the planter unit using 4) ½” bolts, nuts, and lock
washers.

9
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 2. Attach the R.M. wheel/hub assembly to the arm using 5/8” lock washer and hex nut.
Adjust the bearing shield to top dead center, rotated slightly forward. Torque to 150 ft. lbs.

10
MAINTENANCE
Regularly inspect the residue manager for loose or worn parts. Repair and replace as
needed.
Lubrication
CAUTION: To help prevent serious injury or death to you or others caused by
unexpected movement, service machine 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 shop stands to prevent movement.
CAUTION: Do not clean, lubricate, or adjust machine while in motion.
Use grease based on NLGI consistency numbers and the expected air temperature range
during the service interval.
Use a multi-purpose polyurea, water resistant, moderate speed, and NLGI grade #2
grease.
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 latest information and recommendation.
Storing Lubricants
Your machine can operate at top efficiency only if clean lubricants are used.
Use clean containers to handle all lubricants.
Store them in an area protected from dust, moisture and other contaminants.

11
MAINTENANCE
Lubrication Symbols
Lubricate with grease at hourly interval indicated on symbol.
Lubrication Intervals
IMPORTANT: The recommended service intervals are based on normal conditions; severe
or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.
Perform each lubrication and service procedure at the beginning and end of each
season.
Clean grease fittings before using grease gun, to avoid injecting dirt and grit into the
bearing. Replace any lost or broken fittings immediately. If a fitting fails to take grease,
remove and clean thoroughly, replace fitting if necessary. Also check for failure of
adjoining parts.
Storing the Equipment
Store the machine in an area away from human activity
Store machine in 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
start of the next season. Store machine under cover with all parts in operating condition.
Clean machine thoroughly to remove all dirt, debris and crop residue, which would
hold moisture and cause rusting.
Inspect machine for worn or broken parts. See your Yetter Farm Equipment dealer
during the off-season so that parts or service can be acquired when machine is not
needed in the field.
Lubricate bearings as outlined in the Lubrication section
Paint all parts which are chipped or worn and require repainting.
Store machine in a clean, dry place with the planting 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

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. A name that’s become
a part of American agriculture and has become synonymous with quality
and satisfaction in the field of conservation tillage.
Thank you.
