Slide the new blade into the blade bracket and
secure it at the desired depth (a change in
mounting holes changes the depth by 7.6 cm
(3 inches), using the clevis pins and lynch pins
removed previously
Plowing
1.
Move the lynch pins to the outside holes on the
spring rods to allow the plow to move from side
to side
(Figure

CAUTION
When you remove the lynch pin, the plow
could swing into you or a bystander,
or cause the traction unit to become
unstable.
Hold the plow in the neutral position
when moving the lynch pins.

4.
Start the engine.
5.
Tilt the attachment plate completely back so
that the top of the plow is parallel to the ground
(Figure

6.
Lower the plow so that it is resting on the ground.
Important:

auxiliary hydraulics lever. Failure to do so

will cause excessive vibration of the traction
unit, possibly resulting in damage.
Note:
If you dig a hole to lower the blade into
before starting, it will reduce the risk of bending
the blade.
7.
Pull the auxiliary-hydraulics lever to the operator
grip to engage the plow.
8.
Slowly lower the plow into the ground to the
desired depth, while moving the traction unit
backward.
9.
When finished, release the auxiliary-hydraulics
lever to stop the plow.
CAUTION
When plowing on a hill, the plow can
swing down hill when raised out of the
soil. Due to the weight of the plow, if it
swings too fast, the force could tip the
traction unit, injuring you or others.
When plowing on a hill, raise the plow
out of the ground slowly, letting it swing
while the bullet is still in the soil.
10.
Raise the plow out of the ground far enough to
pull the puller out of the soil.

11.
Move the traction unit rearward to pull out a
working length of material, then move forward
slightly to create some slack in the line.
12.
Shut off the engine and remove the key.
Gauging Plow Depth
Normally, you will plow at the maximum depth set by
the blade; however, the plow is also equipped with a
gauge to allow you to lift the plow and determine how
high above maximum depth you are plowing.
The gauge is located on the left side of the plow facing
the traction unit. A rod assembly runs from the gauge
