SECTION 3 – CHISEL PLOW OPERATION
7. Setting gauge wheels (32’ Standard-44’). 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 operator in setting gauge wheels.
IMPORTANT!
Gauge wheels are only intended to stabilize the wings. They should not be used to sup-
port entire weight of wings. Tough soil conditions may create “suction” on the front of the
chisel plow. 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.
