OPERATION
Initial Main Frame and Wing Frame Leveling
Main frame turnbuckle adjustments should be made
simultaneously so that the main frame is level across
the width of the machine. Then level the wings to the
main frame.
Remove the wrench provided from the storage
position (B). Loosen the locking nut on the lower end
of the turnbuckle (A). Close the turnbuckle to raise
the frame and open the turnbuckle to lower the
frame. Adjust all turnbuckles as necessary.
To prevent the wrench from slipping make sure the
wrench opening is on the opposite side of the
turnbuckle than where the pressure is being applied
to turn it. Use the locking nut to secure the
turnbuckle after adjusting the wing raising shafts.
Return wrench to its storage position (B).
Depth of Tillage
• Disc depth should not exceed 3" - 4".
• Shank depth should not exceed 5" - 6".
• Rolling reel depth should not exceed 3" - 4". Do
not operate deeper than the shanks.
Adjustments
Important: The wheel cylinders should be
completely closed when the machine is at the
desired operating depth.
Check depth of tillage and frame level by pulling the
unit in the ground a few feet and then stop. Leave
the unit in the ground. Take measurements. Adjust
as necessary.
Main Frame and Wing Frame Depth
Main frame operating depth is controlled by
shortening or lengthening the turnbuckles (A).
Shorten the turnbuckles to decrease operating
depth. Lengthen the turnbuckles to increase
operating depth. Main frame turnbuckle adjustments
should be made simultaneously to maintain a
uniform operating depth across the width of the
machine. 1" of turnbuckle adjustment (5 revolutions)
is equal to 2" of tillage depth adjustment.
After setting the depth of the main frame, follow the
same procedure to adjust the wing turnbuckles so
the wings are level with the main frame and/or a
uniform depth is achieved.
