9. Adjustment before Operation

9-1. Precautions about Adjustment

Make sure there is no one around the tractor and between this machine and the tractor.
Before adjusting the machine, apply the parking brake of the tractor, set the PTO speed
change lever to the "Neutral" position and stop the engine.

9-2. Adjustment of Tine Depth

Select an appropriate tine depth in consideration of the working condition. Work without
taking the working condition into consideration may apply excessive force to the machine,
causing damage to the tines and machine.
When the tine depth is deeper, slow down the working speed as necessary.
When moving the front roller up and down, move the right and left up-down handles two
turns alternately. When one side alone is moved up and down, the scraper and lawn
pressing plate bracket will be deformed.
The scale does not indicate the actual depth. It is just a rough indication. Judge the depth
by actual work.
Turn the up-down handle to adjust the tine depth.
① Loosen the right and left roller holding fixtures.
② Turn the right and left up-down handles to adjust the tine depth.(Approx. 4 mm/turn)
● Turn the up-down handle clockwise to increase the coring depth. (The roller rises and
the machine lowers.)
● Turn the up-down handle counter clockwise to decrease the coring depth. (The roller
lowers and the machine rises.)
● A depth gauge and scale mark 150A are provided on both sides of the machine. One
scale corresponds to 1 cm. When the tip of the depth gauge is at the uppermost edge
of the scale, it shows the maximum depth of standard tine.
