Setting The Roller Harrow; Roller Height & Depth - Remlinger Single Roller Harrow Install/Owner’s Manual

Roller Height and Depth
The roller harrow and all its components are tightened to the machine, it is now time to set the
roller to the desired working depth for your machine application. Several steps are involved to properly
set your roller harrow. Improper settings can cause damage to harrow, which will not be covered under
warranty. Read carefully and follow each step to correctly set your Remlinger roller harrow.
1. Determine the operating depth your implement. This is key, mounted roller harrows work best
when the depth setting of the roller harrow is approximately 2 inches. Roller harrows that are set
less than 2" have a tendency of leaving an unsatisfactory finish. Roller harrows that are set more
than 2" deep can cause premature stress on the harrow components and cause failure that will
not be covered under warranty.
2. On a hard level surface, lower the implement down onto shovels, blades, shanks, etc. With
implement resting on the ground, a formula is used to decide how thick of spacer boards are
needed to set the roller height to obtain the recommended 2" roller working depth. For example,
implement is going to be working 4" deep in the ground, to obtain a 2" roller working depth, lay 2
spacer boards on the ground underneath each end of one roller section. This spacer board should
be approx. 2" in thickness. This will be repeated for each roller section mounted.
boards from roller pallets are ideal to use.
Formula: Implement Work Depth – 2" Roller Work Depth = Spacer Thickness

Steps 3, 4 and 5 will be done simultaneously before moving onto the next roller section.
3. To set the height on your roller harrow, it is important to loosen all the fasteners and springs
that control the height of the arm. Loosen the 5/8" lock nut and ½" lock nut to allow arm to move
up and down freely. To decrease any spring tension from factory assembly, loosen the 5/8" jamb
nut on and turn threaded bolt counter clock-wise until spring is released of any tension.
