Easy Adjust Row Cleaner Setup Guide for SeedStar 4HP Planters

This guide walks you through the setup and operation of the Easy Adjust Row Cleaners on your John Deere SeedStar 4HP planter. You'll learn how to quickly adjust wing and center sections, manage down/up pressure settings, and utilize presets for efficient residue management in varying field conditions.

What Are Easy Adjust Row Cleaners?

Easy Adjust Row Cleaners are a precision residue management solution for SeedStar 4HP planters. They use airbags to control both up and down pressure, allowing for quick, on-the-go adjustments to keep rows clean and optimize seeding conditions.

Step-by-Step Operation and Setup

1. Accessing Row Cleaner Controls

• Open your SeedStar 4HP planter overview run page.

• Locate and select the Row Cleaner icon.

2. Understanding the Display

• The system shows current settings for wing and center sections as well as their target pressures.

• Recognize if wing sections differ from the center by the display layout.

• Raised or lowered positions are indicated clearly with icons.

3. Adjusting Row Cleaner Positions

• To lower the row cleaners, select the lower icon and confirm the request.

• Both wing and center sections use down pressure airbags, and there is an up pressure airbag on each row for additional control.

4. Setting Up and Using Presets

• Set up multiple pressure presets to match your field conditions.

  • Preset examples:

    • Low down pressure & high up pressure: Row cleaners ride higher, for light residue.

    • High down pressure & low up pressure: Row cleaners are more aggressive, for heavy residue.

• Easily switch between presets while operating in the field.

5. Customizing Section Pressures

• Adjust down or up pressure for each section using the onscreen sliders.

• Confirm any row cleaner movement after making adjustments.

6. Syncing Wing and Center Sections

• Use the sync feature to merge wing and center sections for unified adjustment.

• Toggle sync on or off depending on field needs and residue differences.

7. Advanced Row Cleaner Settings

• Access the Advanced Settings button at the top of the control page.

• Options available:

  • Master On/Off: Fully disable row cleaners if needed.

  • Reset Presets: Revert to default settings in a single step.

  • Step Size: Change the adjustment increment (default is 3psi; adjustable).

  • Disable Up Pressure: Turn off up pressure controls for simplified operation.

• After configuring, return to the main settings to save and continue planting.

Common Questions

Q: Can I switch row cleaner presets in the field?
A: Yes. Use the on-screen controls to quickly select different presets on-the-go.

Q: What do up and down pressure airbags do?
A: Down pressure airbags push row cleaners down for aggressive residue clearing. Up pressure airbags raise the cleaners for lighter contact and avoid disturbing the soil.

Q: How does syncing sections help?
A: Syncing allows you to set uniform pressures across wings and center—ideal for consistent residue conditions across your planter.

Q: Are there defaults if I make a mistake?
A: Yes. Advanced Settings include options to reset all rows and presets to factory defaults.
