SECTION 3 – CHISEL PLOW OPERATION
7. Setting gauge wheels. After depth has been established and chisel plow has been leveled, operator
must set gauge wheels. Stop tractor with chisel plow 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 the operator in setting the gauge wheels.
IMPORTANT!
Gauge wheels are only intended to stabilize the machine. They should not be used to sup-
port entire weight of the wings. Tough soil conditions may create “suction” on the front of
the chisel plow. As long as the machine is not operated beyond the trip assembly limit (see
page 3-7), the gauge wheels are being used properly. Failure to follow these guidelines
may result in machine damage.
