Adjust Gauge Wheels
A.
Pin
Each main wing is equipped with a gauge
wheel that helps to maintain the application
depth. Lower the gauge wheels if soil
conditions are soft and raise if they are hard
to obtain the same application depth.
1.
Remove pin (A) and adjust gauge
wheel height as desired.
2.
Install pin and lock pin.
3.
Repeat for the other side.
ADJUST GROUND SPEED
It will be necessary to establish a travel
speed and then set the flow to give the
desired application rate. Always run at the
established travel speed.
However, the best results are obtained when
the ground speed is 8 - 13 kph (5 - 8 mph).
Ground speed variations in the field will
automatically be compensated.
Always operate at a comfortable speed. Do
not operate so quickly that the toolbar
bounces while going through the field.
Effective results require that liquid be applied
at a consistent depth in a consistent manner.
Machine bouncing will prevent this required
consistency.
