Bed Forming Board (optional)
The bed forming board (item 1, fig 17) operates between two ridger bodies. The
board creates a flat top on the finished bed. The board extensions (item 2, fig 17) are
adjusted in conjunction with the ridger bodies. The position of the ridgers is important
to ensure a nicely formed bed. Leaving too much gap between the ridgers and the
board extensions will cause a ridge to be formed on top of the finished bed.
The weight (item 3, figure 17) flattens the bed. By adding extra weights the bed can
be flattened further. The chains (item 4, fig 17) should be set to allow the board to
float when in work and also to support the board when the planter is raised. To
adjust, reposition the shackle (item 5, fig 17).
Multi-Adjustable Moulding Board (optional)
The multi-adjustable moulding board can be set up for planting rows or beds. The
position of the wings (item 1, fig 18) is important to ensure a nicely formed bed.
The outer wings are adjustable for width by loosening the mounting bolts x3 (item 2,
fig 18). To adjust the angle of the wing, loosen the retaining screw (item 3, fig 18)
and pull the wing out. Adjust both sides equally. The angle of the centre wings (if
fitted) are adjustable in the same way.
The top link (item 4, fig 18) sets the angle of the moulding board. Initially, the board
should be pitched up at approximately 5° at the front. Lengthening the top link will
increase the angle allowing more soil under the board whilst simultaneously holding
the soil and compressing it.
The centre plough (item 1, fig 19) controls the amount of soil pushed sideways under
the moulding board giving, if required, more soil to the edge of the bed. The height of
the plough is set by the top link (item 2, fig 19). The deeper the plough is set, the
more soil it will push sideways. Care should be taken as going too deep may move
the seed in the bed. The pitch angle of the plough is set by the top link (item 3, fig
19). To adjust the angle of the wings (item 4, fig 19), loosen the retaining bolt (item 5,
fig 19) and pull the wings out. Adjust both sides equally.
