5. Set the machine.
- Level the frame: Use the screw jack on the right lift arm to level the frame from side to side.
- Depth: Use the Depth Gauge Shoes on each side to set the operating depth. Position the
Depth Gauge Shoes in the top hole for shallow tilling and in the bottom hole for deep
tilling.
ALERT
In soft soil conditions, the skid plates become less effective and
sink into the ground. Use the turnbuckle on the top link to set the
frame angle so the bottom of the Depth Gauge Shoes are level
when operating.
- Offset: The Category Pin Brackets can be moved 3" to 4" along the Deck Assembly to either
side of center if required. Center the machine for normal operation. Offset if the tire tracks
are wider than the machine or when tilling around trees, bushes or other areas.
- Drag Shield: Adjust the chain in the Adjustment Bracket to set the height of the Drag Shield.
Set the Drag Shield to just contact the tilled soil when operating.
