Gauge Wheel Adjustment
Refer to Figure 12
Note: The jacks should only be used to help raise and lower
the guage wheels . The cross pin still needs to be
used in order to avoid overloading the jack.
35. Adjust the gauge wheel as shown on the shank depth
decal on the front of the frame.
Coulter Adjustment
Refer to Figure 13
Coulter Height
36. Determine the desired depth of the shank and set the
gauge wheel in the appropriate hole.
37. Subtract 8” from the shank depth. Take this distance
and measure from the top of the frame to the top of
the coulter shank . This will allow the coulter to run
approximately hub deep. If trying to deep rip less than
8”, position the top of the coulter shank flush with the
top of the tube.
Coulter Alignment
Refer to Figure 13
38. Loosen the top and bottom set screws
, jam nuts
and swivel limiter set screw . Lower the ripper in the
ground and drive forward a few feet.
39. Leave the ripper in the ground and tighten the top and
bottom set screws and jam nuts . Position the
swivel limiter in the center of the slot and tighten the
set screw
.
40. Check alignment of the coulter and shank. Move either
the coulter or shank so the shank is in the center of the
grove made by the coulter.
Note: Note: If you want the coulter to swivel, loosen the top
and bottom set screws and jam nuts . Retighten
jam nut to prevent from loosing set screw.
