Gauge Wheel Adjustment
Refer to Figure 8
1. The jacks should only be used to help raise and lower
the gauge wheels. The cross pin still needs to be used
in order to avoid overloading the jack.
2. Adjust the gauge wheel as shown on the decal on the
front of the frame
Coulter Adjustment
Refer to Figure 9
Coulter Height
1.
Determine the desired depth of the shank and set the
gauge wheel in the appropriate hole.
2. Subtract 8” from the shank depth. Take this distance
and measure from the top of the frame to the top of the
coulter shank. This will allow the coulter to run approx-
imately hub deep. If trying to deep rip less than 8”,
position the top of the coulter shank flush with the top
of the tube.
Coulter Alignment
Refer to Figure 9
1.
Loosen the bottom set screw (1), jam nut (2) and
swivel limiter set screw (3). Lower the ripper in the
ground and drive forward a few feet.
2. Leave the ripper in the ground and tighten the bottom
set screw (1) and jam nut (2). Position the swivel lim-
iter in the center of the slot and tighten the set screw
(3).
3. Check alignment of the coulter and shank. Move either
the coulter or shank so the shank is in the center of the
grove made by the coulter.
Note: Note: If you want the coulter to swivel, loosen the bot-
tom set screw (1) and jam nut (2). Retighten jam nut
to prevent from loosing set screw.
