Operating Instructions
Setting the Depth
•
The center coulter (a) should run about 2”-3” into the soil. It is important to note that the center coulter has only two settings
and the higher setting is used for raised beds (Figure 7).
•
Adjust the gauge wheels (c) to achieve the desired depth of the center coulter (a) and adjust the shovel shanks (d) and the
side coulters (b) to proper depth (Figure 7).
•
The wings on the shovel shanks should be set 1” below the plastic with the shank about 2” off of the outside edge of the
plastic.
•
The depth of the soil covering the plastic will vary with different plastic layers.
•
Adjust the side coulters so that they run at approximately the same depth as the shovel on the shovel shank, and they are
centered with the shovel shank as shown (Figure 6, Page 5).
The shovel shanks, gauge wheels, and side coulters will need to be adjusted to the correct depth. The depth adjustment will vary
with the type of plastic rows (raised bed, flat bed) and with the amount of soil your plastic layer uses for coverage.
Raised Bed
Figure 7: Setting the depth
•
Set the center coulter (a) to the lowest setting. The center coulter should run about 2”-3” into the soil (Figure 7).
•
Adjust the gauge wheels (c) to achieve the desired depth for the center coulter (a), then adjust the shovel shanks (d) and the
side coulters (b) to the proper depth (Figure 7).
•
The wings of the shovel shanks should be set 1” below the plastic with the shank 1”-2” off of the outside edge of the plastic.
•
The depth of the soil covering the plastic will vary with different plastic layers.
•
Adjust the side coulters so that they run at approximately the same depth as the shovel shank, and that they are centered with
the shovel shank as shown (Figure 6, Page 5).
