This will set the working depth for any related elements. The machine should then
be levelled/limited
through the use of the cylinder shim holder, see Shim holders’
section. For trailed machines, the retractable wheel axle can now be retracted.
5.2.2
Leg Depth
It is advised that the soil is assessed prior to working to determine the level of
compaction within the soil profile and the depth this compaction is at. The legs
should then be adjusted to work just below this level in the soil by removing the
handled pin holding the leg in place in the cast socket and moving the leg up or
down as required.
The leg should always be moved up and down by
holding onto the bottom of the leg where the point is as
opposed to the top or through the holes that may be
exposed through the top of the cast socket as this can
lead to fingers getting trapped or seriously injured.
Note; some leg profiles are quite heavy due to the
nature of their use, so ensure good posture before
trying to handle alone.
