First Time Field Adjustments
Center and Wing Leveling
7.
Pre-leveling of machine can be done on a concrete
slab or level surface. Lower machine so sweeps on
the center frame are 1-2” off the ground.
Wing Leveling (3 or 5 Section Wings)
8.
Set the 3-section and the 5-section inner and outer
wings to match the depth of the center. This is done
by adjusting the rear wing turnbuckle
on each
wing. Start by loosening the jam nut
, then adjust
the turnbuckle
. Lengthen the turnbuckle tube to
run deeper and shorten the turnbuckle to run
shallower.
9.
Tighten the jam nut
, back against the turnbuckle
tube to hold the adjustments in place.
Note: In some conditions the wings will need to be set
slightly lower than the center, as the center may
tend to run deeper behind the tractor tires.
Center and Wing Gauge Wheel

10. Loosen the jam nut

gauge wheels to level it from front to back. (Shorten
to bring front down, extend to bring front up). Level
machine with the front row shanks just slightly
deeper or lower than the back.
11. Retighten the jam nut
.
Repeat same procedure for the other side of the center
frame.
