28. If possible have someone observe the machine during
first time operation for levelness, front to rear and wings
to center frame. Adjust each as needed. If ground is soft,
and the blades are running too deep, raise the gangs to
desired depth. you may need to readjust front to back. If
ground is hard this may raise the front and again the
front to back may need to be changed. To change front
to rear, either extend or shorten the length of the turn-
buckle on the hitch. On 5-section machines with the
hydraulic gauge wheels, set the wheels in field position
to be 1” to 2” off the ground.
29. Adjust the drag to leave the desired results while main-
taining the trash flow through the drag.

Refer to Figure 12
30. For final adjustment on the hydraulic down pressure,
note the action of the gang bolts as machine operates
through the field by watching the nuts at the top of the
bolts (as shown by arrows).
31. If the center gang bolts are more active than the wings,
the pressure to the wings may need to be increased. If
the wing gang bolts are cycling extensively but the cen-
ter is not, the pressure to the wings need to be
decreased.
32. On a 5-section machine, you need to set the outside
wings with one valve and the inside wings with the other
(the valves are marked as to which is which).
33. Once all the spring bolts across the machine are working
evenly, lock the valves in place. You may re-adjust these
valves as field conditions change, (i.e. ground becomes
harder as it dries out or wetter after a rain).
