Blade Depth
The skid plate height determines the cutting
depth of the blades.
• Tighten or loosen the nuts on the skid
plate height adjustment to raise or
lower the blades.
• Make sure both skid plates are adjust-
ed equally and parallel to the ground
to get an even cut and ensure the unit
glides smoothly.
Level Hook Up
Level hook up between the Verti-Cutter and
the tractor will prevent the skid plates from
digging into the ground.
• The hitch bar is adjusted up or down
depending on which holes it is bolted
into.
• The hitch can be mounted in the top
two holes to raise the hitch position or
the bottom two holes to lower the hitch
position.
• The position of the hitch depends upon
the height of the tractor hitch.
Chain Tension
Check the condition of drive chain before
each use or after every 25 hours of operation.
• Adjust chain by moving tensioner
adjustment nut to achieve proper ten-
sion.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten chain.
Excessive tension can cause premature
bearing and chain failure.
NOTE: Use a straightedge to check
alignment across the faces of sprockets
after adjusting chain tension to ensure
that the chain will run true.
