DEPTH REGULATOR LEVER
Tilling depth is controlled by the height of the depth regulator lever.
To adjust tilling depth.
1. Remove detent pin.
2. Raise the depth regulator lever to position tines at chosen tilling
depth.
3. Align hole in depth regulator lever with hole in depth regulator
bracket and replace detent pin.
Depth Regulator Lever Down = Shallower tilling. Place the
detent pin in the top hole of the depth regulator lever for shallowest
tilling.
Depth Regulator Lever Up = Deeper tilling. Place the detent
pin in the bottom hole of the depth regulator lever for deepest
tilling.
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Proper belt tension is critical to good performance. After 1/2 hour of
operation, all cables may have to be adjusted due to initial stretch.
Thereafter, check tension after every 2 hours of operation.
To increase belt tension:
1. Loosen upper jam nut. Turn nut up cable in 1/8” increments.
2. Tighten lower jam nut.
3. Check adjustment.
This procedure can be repeated until conduit adjustment bolts are
fully adjusted. If no more adjustment can be made, belt may have to
be replaced.
