ADJUSTMENTS
1.
LATERAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE FRONT AND REAR GANGS
a) FRONT GANGS - See Fig. 8. Loosen bearing hanger U-bolts
and adjust front gangs so that leading edge of inside blades
are, arrow 1, approximately 2-1/2" (63.5 mm) past centre of
disc. The centre of disc is shown in Fig. 8. If the above
adjustment is made correctly, the front gang will not leave
any unbroken ground at centre of disc.
b) REAR GANGS - See Fig. 9. To adjust rear gangs, loosen
bearing hanger U-bolts.
The opening between the rear gang dimensions "D" must be
set at a distance that will allow furrow left by the front gangs
to be filled evenly. The distance the rear gangs are set apart
is determined by the discing speed, discing depth, gang angle
and soil conditions. If the rear gangs are set too close
together, the rear gangs will leave a ridge at centre. If rear
gangs are set too far apart, the furrow at centre left by the
front gangs will not be filled. Take note of the amount of soil
the rear inside blades are packing up. It may be necessary to
increase distance between rear gangs in order to collect
enough soil to fill furrow. To start with this, distance should
be set at 2" (50.8 mm) less than diameter of blade to a
maximum of 24" (610mm). For example, if your disc is
equipped with 26" (660 mm) blades then the opening
(Dimension “D”) should be 24"(610 mm). If your disc is
equipped with 28" (711mm) diameter blades dimension “D”
would be set at a maximum of 24" (610mm).
An increase in discing speed may required rear gangs to be
set further apart. A decrease in discing speed may require
rear gangs to be set closer together.
NOTE: Be sure the blade to blade distance between individual gangs are adjusted to match your disc’s blade spacing.
c) When gang adjustments are complete, tighten all bearing hanger U-Bolts. Before tightening bearing hanger U-Bolts, check each bearing
hanger to make sure hanger is sitting square under gang beam. Tighten U-Bolt to 430 ft. lbs (583.0 N.m).

IMPORTANT:
When raising wings for transport for first time after adjusting gangs, raise wings slowly making sure wing gangs clear centre
frame gangs.
3.
LEVELLING DISC - FRONT to REAR - See Fig. 10. When discing, the front
and rear gangs should be cutting at same depth. The levelling crank,
arrow 1, is used to level disc.
TO LOWER FRONT GANGS: Turn crank, arrow 1, “IN” (clockwise)
TO RAISE FRONT GANGS: Turn crank, arrow 1, “OUT” (counter
clockwise)
VERY IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS KEEP DISC LEVEL FROM FRONT TO REAR. DISCING WITH FRONT GANGS LOWER THAN REAR GANGS
WILL CAUSE RIDGING AT OUTSIDE AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO DISC COMPONENTS.
4.
SETTING DISCING DEPTH - See Fig. 10. To set discing depth, lower disc into the ground while moving forward until disc reaches desired discing
depth. Install the necessary depth control stops on centre frame cylinder to maintain the desired cutting depth.
