Refer to Figure 32

On the spike drag, start with 5 links hanging from the
chain in drag arm bottom slot. (This is the starting point
for worst conditions). The cleaner the ground, the shorter
the pull chain may be pulled up. On the spike drag, one
of the links in the first row of angles is turned over. This
allows the trash to start flowing through the drag easier
by changing the angle of the first row of teeth. Always
make sure that the drag is never pulling off of the hang
chains. If so, shorten pull chains.
