DEPTH REGULATOR LEVER
Tilling depth is controlled by the height of the depth regulator lever.
To adjust tilling depth. SEE FIGURE 8
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 insert 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.
Proper tension is achieved when the spring compresses 1/4”
when drive lever is engaged.
To increase belt tension:
1. Loosen upper jam nut. SEE FIGURE 9
2. Tighten the lower jam nut in 1/8” increments, making sure not
to over adjust the tension.
3. Check adjustment by measuring spring compression when
drive lever is engaged. (Proper spring compression 1/4”)
4. When proper adjustment is achieved, tighten upper jam nut.
This procedure can be repeated until conduit adjustment bolts
are fully adjusted. If no more adjustment can be made, belt may
need to be replaced.
