Draft Control
(Optional
for
In-The-Furrow Operation)
When
strictly draft control
is
desired,
the inside control
lever should be placed
near
the front of the quadrant.
See
1 1
lust.
8A.
The
plowing depth
of
the front
of
the plow
is
then established by
moving
the outside
draft control lever
from "LIGHT"
to
"HEAVY"
until the
desired depth
is
attained.
On-The-Land-Operation
Use
the inside control lever
to
help
level
the
plow while operating
in
the
field.
As
a
starting point
run
the lower
link hitch pins
about 17"
above
the ground. (Draft control
is
not
recommended.
Place
outside lever
in
an
extreme forward
position).
The
adjusting stop
may
be set
to
help
locate the lever
setting.
It
can then also be
by-passed
when
needed
(as for
quick entry
into the ground).
A
Caution!
Move
the Draft Control lever forward
as
far
as possible when
the
plow
is
discon-
nected.
The speed
of hitch
response
to
changing
draft loads can be varied by
moving
the in-
side control lever past the
offset, into the
portion
of
the
quadrant
marked
"RUN".
When
the
lever
is in
the
extreme forward
position load
sensing
is
slow.
When
the
lever
is
located
just
beyond
the
offset
in
the
quadrant, load sensing
is fast. See
lllust.
8B.
Any
lever setting
between
the
two extremes
may
be used depending on
field conditions.
When
lowering
the
plow
to
start plowing,
the inside lever
should
not
be
moved
directly
to
the
extreme forward
position
as
this will
cause slow
entry of the front of the
plow and
also
cause
the rear cylinder
to
lower
the
rear
of
the plow
too slow.
A
CAUTION!
Move
the
outside
draft
control
lever forward as
far
as possible
when
the
plow
is
disconnected.
Note:
Refer
to
your
tractor operator's
manual
for
more
detailed data.
