Rear Deflector
& Down Pressure Kit
The rear deflector can be adjusted closer to the ground to
produce a fine soil texture or can be raised to produce a
coarse soil texture by adjusting the spring rods. Adjust
rear deflector to the desired height and install cotter pins
in one of the top six holes on the spring rods above the
cushion springs Figure 3-3.

Figure 3-3
The rear deflector can be raised and secured for
replacement of spring tines by removing the cotter pins
and raising the deflector enough to reinstall the cotter
pins in hole no. 7 on the spring rods below the cushion
springs.
An optional spring kit, part no. 311-162A, is offered to
allow you to apply pressure down on the rear deflector for
leveling. Adjust locking collars up to compress springs to
desired pressure.
