Page 25: Preparing To Operate
IV. PREPARING TO OPERATE WHEEL TREAD AND ROW SPACING Know the row spacing of the field you intend to detassel and follow the steps below to properly obtain the desired tread setting. 1. To adjust the tread width in or out, park the detasseler on level ground and shut off the engine.
Page 26 IV. PREPARING TO OPERATE TREAD WIDTH CONTINUED 3. Loosen the leg mounting bolts on both the front and rear legs on one side of the detasseler only (fig. 4.3). Loosen leg mounting bolts only enough to allow for free movement of leg on mainframe. DO NOT remove bolts under any condition.
Page 27 IV. PREPARING TO OPERATE TREAD WIDTH CONTINUED 8. To adjust the tread out, place a suitable prying tool under the center of the tire and pry out at the same time that you push out at the top of the leg (fig. 4.6). Carefully lower the detasseler to the ground which, in turn will allow the leg to slide outward.
