2. Place the skid (see #3, fig. 10) in the desired position.
3. Re-tighten the nut (#1) on the adjustment arm (#2) .
4. Repeat this operation on the other skid, ensuring both skids are level.

also ensures better pulverization of the soil and helps level it out.

11) to the chain hitch (see #3, fig. 11) .
