4-7 SPRAY SHIELD ADJUSTMENT
4-7.1
The spray shields directly behind the
disc gang have two uses and can be ad-
justed accordingly.
a. The spray shield controls the flow of soil so
an even spray pattern for herbicide can be
maintained directly behind the spray shield.
b. The spray shield controls the movement of
soil by the discs. The discs are used primarily
to cut residue and level the ground for good
spray application.
4-7.2
The spray shields should be run at
ground level to level the soil.
4-8 SPRAY BOOM LOCATION
The spray boom for herbicide incorporation
should be set directly behind the spray shield when
working in ridged field conditions. It can also be set
in front of the machine in level field conditions.
4-9 REEL ADJUSTMENT
4-9.1
The reel is preset at the factory at the
correct angle. This angle is set to move
worked soil back to the center of the imple-
ment. The angle also determines the incor-
poration ability of the reel
4-9.2
Check lock collars on reel bearings dur-
ing the first hour of use. Retighten, if neces-
sary, as described in Section 3-10.5.
4-6
4-7.3
The shields should also be set at an an-
gle to carry some soil back to the center of
the machine as it levels the soil. Set the
spray shield up if the machine is to operate
deeper or there is excessive trash.
4-7.4
Set the spray shield down if the ma-
chine is to operate at a shallower depth, or
when there is a minimum amount of trash.
4-7.5
Adjust spray shields outward on ma-
chine if too much dirt is moving around the
outer edge and leaving a ridge. This will
move dirt toward center and level the soil.
CAUTION
WHEN WORKING WITH THE REELS,
USE CARE BECAUSE THEY ROTATE
FREELY AND CAN CATCH AN ARM,
HAND, OR FOOT AND CAN CAUSE SE-
VERE INJURY.
