4-10 ROLLERS 4-10.1 For maximum roller life, the rollers need to touch each other across the gangs. This ad- justment is made by loosening the u-bolts which attach the bearing standards. The bearing lock collars must also be loosened. Bump the standard and the u-bolt toward the center of the machine until the rollers touch each other.
4-12 SPRING TINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT 4-12.1 The operator controls the depth of the spring tines by the use of the transport cylin- der (See Figure 4-9). When the transport wheels lower the machine to the ground, the work position begins (rollers only). As the transport cylinder retracts, the transport wheels continue to raise and the tines plunge deeper into the soil.
