Your Gearmore Disc has 3 angle settings. If you are
using your Disc in loose soil and it is digging too deep,
reduce the gang angle cut. If your disc is not digging
deep enough, increase the gang angle cut.
To adjust the gang angle cut, raise the Disc a few
inches off the ground and block it up. Loosen the hex
head bolts in each disc gang mounting bar, where it
mounts to the main frame. Remove the bolts from
the bar and move the gang to the front or back. Re-
install the bolts and tighten.
For
better
ground
fi
nish, angle the rear gangs at a
lesser angle than the front gangs.

IMPORTANT:
Always turn tractor key off and remove key before
performing any maintenance or adjustments on
Disc.
NOTE:
The more angle you have the more aggressive the
cut will be and the more horsepower will be required
to pull your unit.
NOTE:
The rear discs should be centered between the front
discs for optimum performance.
3.9 MAINTENANCE
Proper service and adjustment is the key to long life
for any implement. With careful systematic inspec-
tions, you can avoid many costly repairs and down-
time.
