Swing the hitch to the desired position and reattach the side arm through the appropriate bolt holes in
the plates on the side of the hitch. Tighten the 1-1/4” bolts to 1500 ft/lbs and the 2” fabricated bolt to
2000 ft/lbs and recheck after the next 10 hrs of use.
CHANGE THE GANG ANGLES
Changing the angle of the front and rear gangs will affect the penetration of the gangs and mixing of
the soil. By changing the gang angle, the operator can adjust for different soil conditions and
change draft of the disk. Too little total angle between the gangs (minimum angles – MN) may leave
uncut areas and poor penetration. Too much total gang angle (maximum angle – MX) may cause
the disk to side draft in hard or soft ground conditions. The maximum front gang angle may cause
the gang to bulldoze so the soil will not flow through the disk blades. The ideal situation is for the
front and rear gangs to have equal amounts of angle so they both plow to the same depth.
