Operation Adjustments Setting Depth Your Trailblazer™ – STO unit comes equipped with depth adjustment bolts on each side of the unit.

Operation Adjustments Adjust Blade Orientation Meshed Option: Factory setting. Both finger blades set to the front hole. This the more aggressive option for moving residue. Front Hole Setting Offset Option: This is the less aggressive option for moving lighter residue. In this option, one Finger Blade is set in the front hole while other is set in the rear hole.
Operation Blade Adjustment Chart Trailblazer- STO has two adjustments that can be made that affect how aggressive the residue movement is. Varying soil and residue conditions will require adjustments of both the Blade Orientation and the Aggressiveness of the depth. See chart below for the recommended settings.
Operation TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Solution Blade not making contact with the ground. Adjust depth adjustment bolts to ensure blades touch ground. Residue build-up is preventing the blade from turning. Remove residue build-up from the row cleaner. Blade is not turning. Bearing hub bolt is bent or warped.
