Turn the frame assembly
upright. Attach two depth
gauge bars to the frame
using a 3/8" U-bolt and
two 3/8" Nylock hex nuts for each bar. Put each
depth gauge bar next to each outside
tang on the
rear of the frame
as shown
in figure

holes in each bar that will give the desired working
depth, if known at this time. Use matching
holes in
both depth gauge bars to keep the cultivator
level.
NOTE:
For effective
depth control
a depth gauge bar
must not be located
directly
behind a front tang.
