Crushing Hazard:
Make all down-stop adjustments with circuit in neutral and
drill raised (actuator plunger not in contact with down-stop).
Loosening the down-stop with circuit active and drill lowered
results in rapid lowering of the frame.
Height Mis-setting Risk:
Make sure the drill is level and the lift system bled and
re-phased before adjusting the tool bar height. If the center
section does not consistently stop at the set height, or the
wings do not run at the same height as the center, the lift sys-
tem may have air or be out of phase (above), or the wings may
not be level. See “Frame Alignment and Level” on page 101.
Refer to Figure 91
Note: The change in coulter height is greater than the
change in down-stop adjustment. Make adjust-
ments in small amounts.
The lift system includes an adjustable stop valve
to fix
the height of the opener frame when the drill is lowered.
To adjust the stop height
(assuming a desired 1
1
⁄
4
in / 3.2cm coulter depth):
1.
Move to smooth level ground with soil as similar as
possible to field conditions.
2.
Lower the drill until the coulter blades just touch the
ground. Hold that height by setting the lift circuit to
neutral.
3.
Loosen the knob
on the stop
.
4.
Adjust the stop
position on the tube
until it just
touches the actuator
.
5.
Raise and then fully lower the drill.
6.
Pull forward 10 feet (3m) and stop.
