CLUTCH CABLE
The belt should be fully de-clutched from the engine
pulley when bail is released. If cable needs to be tight-
ened, remove nut on bail and raise connecting bolt to
the 2nd or 3rd hole as seen in Figure 2
CHAIN
The roller chain should have 1/8” - 1/4” deflection at
the center point between the rear tine shaft sprocket
and the front wheel shaft sprocket. To adjust, tighten or
loosen the 3/8” bolt under the pulley guard as seen in
Figure 3.
TINE DEPTH CONTROL
The depth control that the tine can penetrate the ground
can be controlled using the depth control bolts on both
sides of the unit as shown in Figure 4. Set both bolts to
the desired depth by turning nylock nut to proper loca-
tion and locking in with the other nut. Depth can be set
from 1-1/4” to 3”.
