Reel Settings
5.
If a reel is added, adjust the amount of down pres-
sure by either shortening the spring for less pressure
or lengthening for more pressure.
6.
Adjust nut
to where spring
is just making con-
tact with front plate
.
7.
Turn nut
another 1” further on spring rod
to set
pre-load on spring
.
8.
The bars on the reels are angled forward
and
should be installed as such on the machine. In some
conditions in which a firming of the soil is more desir-
able than breaking up clods then these reels can be
mounted in reverse
. This does however increase
the chance of causing damage to the bars in rocky
soil.
Be sure reels are installed with twisted bars oriented forward
as shown. Mounting in reverse
can damage reel in rocky
soil.
