Gauge Wheel Adjustment
Refer to Figure 9
1. The jacks should only be used to help raise and
lower the gauge wheels. The cross pin still needs to
be used in order to avoid overloading the jack.
2. Adjust the gauge wheel as shown on the decal on
the front of the frame.
Coulter Adjustment
Refer to Figure 10
Coulter Height
1. Determine the desired depth of the shank and set
the gauge wheel in the appropriate hole.
2. Subtract 8” from the shank depth. Take this distance
and measure from the top of the frame to the top of
the coulter shank. This will allow the coulter to run
approximately hub deep. If trying to deep rip less
than 8”, position the top of the coulter shank flush
with the top of the tube.
Coulter Alignment
Refer to Figure 10
3. Loosen the bottom set screw (1), jam nut (2) and
swivel limiter set screw (3). Lower the ripper in the
ground and drive forward a few feet.
4. Leave the ripper in the ground and tighten the bot-
tom set screw (1) and jam nut (2). Position the swivel
limiter in the center of the slot and tighten the set
screw (3).
5. Check alignment of the coulter and shank. Move
either the coulter or shank so the shank is in the cen-
ter of the grove made by the coulter.
 Note: If you want the coulter to swivel, loosen the
bottom set screw (1) and jam nut (2). Retighten jam
nut to prevent from loosing set screw.
