Rear Attachment Settings
Spike Drag Settings
Refer to Figure 9
24. On the spike drag, start with 5 links hanging from the
chain in drag arm bottom slot. (This is the starting point
for worst conditions). The cleaner the ground, the
shorter the pull chain may be pulled up. On the spike
drag, one of the links in the first row of angles is turned
over. This allows the trash to start flowing through the
drag easier by changing the angle of the first row of
teeth. Always make sure that the drag is never pulling off
of the hang chains. If so, shorten pull chains.
Coil Tine Settings
Refer to Figure 10
25. On coil tine drags start with the top eyebolt (1) centered.
Then level drag mainframe (2) by changing position of
leveling bolts (3). There are two holes in the arm and
four in the mainframe. One of these will get you where
you need to be to be level. To lay teeth back, remove the
clip pin (4) on each end and move strap adjustment by
pushing the handle (5) forward. The strap has 5 holes
arm will let you lay the teeth back several degrees. If it is
desired to set one row, usually the first, different than
the rest as far as the angle is concerned, it can be
adjusted individually by loosening the u-bolt and set-
screw on each end of the drag bar. Down pressure on
the drag is achieved by lengthening the eyebolt (1) on
the top bracket. Depending on the amount of down
pressure, you may need to re-level the mainframe.
