DEPTH REGULATOR LEVER
Tilling depth is controlled by the height of the depth
regualtor lever.
To adjust tilling depth.
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 replace detent pin.
Always set the depth regulator lever in the
transport position before starting engine, that is,
place the detent pin in the highest hole of the
depth regulator lever.

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.
To increase belt tension:
1. Loosen upper jam nut. Turn nut up cable in 1/8"
increments.
2. Tighten lower jam nut.
3. Check adjustment.
This procedure can be repeated until conduit
adjustment bolts have no more adjustment left. If no
more adjustment can be made, belt may have to be
replaced.
