Shank Height Adjustment
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
To prevent injury, make adjustments to the shank height
after the implement has been properly hooked to a tractor.
•
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 2-2:
Shank settings are based on the vertical distance
measured from bottom edge of skid shoes to bottom
edge of shank tips.
