Depth Setting – Manual Depth Control
The depth of the machine is set by the packer and drawbar.
The positions of the cylinders are controlled by the manual depth control linkage on the machine.
Setting:
1.
Raise outside Gauge Wheels of the machine off the ground to their highest set points. (Gauge
wheels need to be lifted so they do not interfere with correctly setting the depth control.) For
further information see Gauge Wheels in the next section
2. For shallower working depth of the machine, turn the handle clockwise.
3. For deeper working depth of the machine, turn the handle counterclockwise.
NOTE: The machine will also need to be leveled for proper operation. The machine can be leveled by
either adding, or removing stops to the front hydraulic cylinder.
Leveling:
1. For shallower working depth of the machine, add stops.
2. For deeper working depth of the machine, remove stops.
NOTE: ALWAYS ADD/REMOVE SHIMS FROM THE REARWARD SIDE OF THE STACK ON THE FRONT
HITCH CYLINDER. DO NOT REMOVE SHIMS FROM THE FRONT SIDE OR FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE
STACK TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER! ALWAYS SECURE SHIMS OF THE FRONT HITCH
CYLINDER WITH THE PIN PROVIDED OR DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER AND SHIMS MAY OCCUR!
