4-5.3
Check the front to rear leveling of the
frame. Adjust radius rod until frame is level
at working depth and all sections of the ma-
chine are cutting at the same depth (See
Figure 4-3).
4-5.4
Set the unit working depth (1 - 5 inches)
by adjusting the stroke control on the master
cylinder. For stability, it is important that the
gauge wheels always apply slight pressure
against the soil.
4-5.5
Select proper speed (from 5 - 8 miles
per hour) for best results.
4-5.6
Always lift the Tilloll completely out of
the ground before turning or backing. This
prevents shank, disc, or harrow damage or
damage to their respective mounting brack-
ets.
4-5.7
It is important to keep all bolts tight at
all times, especially during the first few hours
of operation. Be sure to check the shank U-
bolts and pivot bolts. Tighten wheel lug bolts
to 90 ft-lbs of torque. After break-in period,
check them periodically. Loose bolts can re-
sult in lost, broken, or prematurely worn parts
and unnecessary down time. Refer to torque
specifications in Tables 2-1 and 2-2 when
retightening loose bolts.
4-6 DISC GANG SCRAPER ADJUSTMENT
4-6.1
To adjust the pressure of the disc gang
scrapers, loosen the U-bolts that hold the
scraper assembly in place. Slide the scraper
assembly toward the disc blades until there
is enough pressure on the scrapers to clean
the discs.

4-5.8
Reduce speed at field ends, and lift the
Tilloll completely out of the ground before
turning.
4-5.9
When operating in the field, run the im-
plement with a minimum overlap of one foot
to insure an even mixing and leveling of the
soil.
IMPORTANT
THE SCRAPER BLADES ARE REVERSIBLE TO
ALLOW EXTENDED USE BEFORE REPLACE-
MENT IS REQUIRED.
IMPORTANT
THE STRAIGHT COULTER AT THE END OF
EACH DISC GANG IS TO CONTROL THE FLOW
OF SOIL OUT OF THE SIDE OF THE MACHINE.
