Aligning Boxes
For proper alignment, the outside ends of the drill boxes
must be 1 to 1 1/2 inches ahead of the inside ends. Follow
these steps to check box alignment and adjust as
necessary.
1. With the drill unfolded and lowered, pull forward a few
feet with the openers in the ground.
2. Extend a string line to the outer ends of the wing boxes
as shown in Figure 1-5. Measure from the string line to
each box as shown. For each box, measurement A
should be 1 to 1 1/2 inches greater than measurement
B.
3. If adjustment is needed, write down how many inches
the box should be moved to be within the 1- to 1 1/2-
inch tolerance mentioned above. Also note the direc-
tion you need to move the outside end of the box–for-
ward or back.

justment trunnion screw. Turn the screw in or out to
move the box end forward or backward as required.
Retighten the jam nuts.
5. Pull ahead slightly and check the box alignment. Re-
adjust the pull cables if necessary.
