ADJUST DIGGING DEPTH
There are mounting pin holes on the shank. Use either of them according to the digging depth. Use the lower
hole for the ordinary digging, and use the upper one for deep digging.
Change the digging depth according to the following procedure.
1.
Put a pointed rod to pin (1) and drive it out to the opposite
side by hitting with a hammer.
2.
Pull out pin (2) and change the position of the shank hole.
3.
Insert pin (1) half way by hand, then drive it with a ham-
mer.
• Since the pin is made of one piece, insert the pin half
way by hand first, then drive and fit it with a hammer.
• When installing the giant ripper, see “PIN PULLER
OPERATION SWITCH (3-96)”.
METHOD FOR REPLACING POINT AND PROTECTOR

WARNING
• For safety, do not drive out the point directly with a hammer.
• Just after ripping work is finished, the point and protector are very hot. To avoid burn injury, wait
until the point and protector are cooled, and then start the work.
For protection of the shank, replace the point and protector installed to the end when they are worn.
Put a pin puller to the pin indicated by the arrow, and hit it with
a hammer to drive out the pin.
The pin goes out of the opposite side to the side you hit.
