SAFETY
A brief description of signal words that may be used in this
manual:
CAUTION: Used as a general reminder of good safety practices or to direct attention to unsafe practices.
WARNING: Denotes a specific potential hazard.
DANGER: Denotes the most serious specific potential hazard.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
You can make your farm a safer place to live and work if you observe the safety precautions given. Study these precautions carefully
and insist that those working with you and for you follow them.
Finally, remember this: an accident is usually caused by someone’s carelessness, neglect or oversight.
WARNING
Never clean, lubricate or adjust a machine that is in motion. Always lower or block the implement before performing service.
If the machine must be serviced in the raised position, jack or block it up to prevent it from accidentally falling and injuring someone.
Do not allow riders on the tractor or implement.
Use speeds and caution dictated by the terrain being traversed. Do not
operate on any slope steep enough to cause tipping or loss of control.
Be sure all personnel are clear of the immediate area before operating.
Read and understand the operator’s manual and require all other persons who will operate the equipment to do the same.
Be familiar with all tractor and implement controls and be prepared to stop engine and implements quickly in an emergency.
CAUTION
Consult your implement and tractor operator’s manual for correct and safe operating practices.
Beware of towed implement width and allow safe clearance.
FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

BOLT TORQUE
Mounting bolts and hardware
Before operating the Titan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 Titan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 GUIDE/TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORTANT: Please check the amount of travel that the planter row unit has
before going to the field to plant.
NOTE: The recommended height of a level planter toolbar frame is 20”-22”. Always
visually check seed spacing and depth-calibrate your equipment if necessary.
Figure A. – The planter hitch and frame are both 20” off the ground. To ensure this, visually check to see
that the planter boxes are level and that the planter unit parallel arms are also parallel with the ground.
When using planter attachments located in front of the planter unit, this setting is very important.
Figure B. – The planter hitch is set too low while the planter frame remains at 20” off the ground! Notice
from the illustration that the unit mounted coulter is running deeper in the ground than the planter unit. This
condition can result in the formation of an air pocket below the seedbed, which will in turn dramatically
decrease seed growth.
NOTE: Both illustrations are strictly for reference only. They are intended to show that
proper adjustment of the hitch height is critical. Consult your planter operator’s manual for the
proper height adjustment of the hitch.

OPERATION GUIDE/TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORTANT: Please check the amount of travel that the planter row unit has
before going to the field to plant.
IMPORTANT: Check the drive shaft clearance with the residue manager wheels.
If the residue manager wheels can make contact with the drive shaft, the drive
shaft could be damaged.

STEP 2. Attach the 2966-252 combo arm to the 2966-253 mount bracket using the 5/8” bolts,
flat washers, bushings, 2967-623 adjustment plate and 5/8” lock nuts. Also, install the ½” x 2”
bolt, 2967-622 spacer, ½” lock nut, 2984-326 pin and 2570-446 bowtie cotter on the 2967-623
adjustment plate.
STEP 3 . Use general-purpose grease to “pack” the hub/bearings before installing the Residue
Manager wheel Assemblies .

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 4. Choose the mounting hole in which to attach the R.M. wheels. Attach the R.M. wheel/hub
assemblies to the 2966-252 Combo Arm using 5/8” lock washers and hex nuts. Adjust the bearing shield to
top dead center, rotate slightly forward. Torque to 150 ft./lbs.

OPERATION
CAUTION: Where rocks are present the residue manager should be set in the “float”
position, not locked down.
Adjust the residue manager to move crop residue aside and not move any soil. Adjustments to the residue
manager may have to be made when changing field conditions and type and amount of residue. Use the
handle for leverage when changing depth settings.
“FLOAT SETTINGS”
Install the adjustment pin below the combo arm.
To raise the wheels, lift the 2966-252 and move the adjustment
pin up.
To lower the wheels, move the adjustment pin down.
“RIGID SETTING”
Install the adjustment pin through the combo arm.
To raise the wheels, lift the 2966-252-combo arm to the desired position
and insert the pin. To lower the wheels, lower the combo arm to the
desired position and insert the pin.
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.

11
MAINTENANCE
Regularly inspect the residue manager for loose or worn parts. Repair and replace as
needed.
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
