DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Make adjustments to the implement after it has been properly
attached to a tractor and secured with solid non-concrete
supports in the up position. Never work around or under
equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop
equipment instantly if controls are actuated or if hydraulic
lines burst even when power to hydraulics is shut off.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always keep your body extremities out from under the
shanks while adjusting them. It is possible for the shanks to
fall causing injury to your feet and/or legs.
•
Keep clear of the shank slots while adjusting shank height.
Shanks can pinch body parts in the slots during adjustments.
Refer to Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2 & Figure 3-2:
Shank settings are based on the vertical distance
measured from bottom edge of side plates to bottom of
shank tips. Adjust each shank height as follows:
1.
Press top of shank spring retainer (#2) together with
a pair of pliers and pull retainer out of the shank tube
slot. Be sure to keep shank notch caught in the top
slot to keep it from falling out while removing the
spring retainer.
2. Manually raise or lower shank to the desired height
that will allow the shank notch to be caught in the top
slot. Catch shank notch in the top slot at this height.
