SECTION 3 – OPERATION (32’-40’)
7. Setting gauge wheels. After depth has been established and coulter-chisel has been leveled, opera-
tor must set gauge wheels. Stop tractor with coulter-chisel in the ground. Adjust crank assembly
until wheel rests on top of the ground. Set bolts are installed on each gauge wheel assembly.
Adjust set bolts so gauge wheel depth can still be changed but rotation of assembly is limited. If
running at a consistent depth, set bolts can be securely tightened to lock gauge wheels.
A depth decal is attached to the axle holder to help operator in setting gauge wheels.
IMPORTANT!
Gauge wheels are only intended to stabilize the wings. They should not be used to support
entire weight of wings. Tough soil conditions may create “suction” on the front. As long as
the machine is not operated beyond trip assembly limit (see page 3-7), gauge wheels are
being used properly. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in machine damage.
