Gage Wheels (Tires) Height Adjustment:
Adjust Gage Wheels up and down in 1/2" increments to
determine how deep the scarifiers dig into the ground.
(See Figure 3)
Initial setup is having the Gage Wheels height set with 1 hole
showing on the tube (attached to wheel) exposed above
tube mounted to frame. Height adjustment can be made for
personal preferences.

Outer Tube holes are
spaced 1/2" apart.
Inner Tube holes
are spaced 1" apart.
Reinsert Pin and clip
when desired height is
achieved.
Rake Pitch (angle) adjustment:
The Rake pitch (angle) is adjusted by the Rear Link. You will
want to have the initial setup to have about 1" of thread
showing on both ends of the Link (similar to the Top Link).
Once the desired rake pitch is set, tighten the nut to prevent
thread movement during operation.
(See Figure 4)
Note: Too flat of rake angle (more parallel to the ground) will
not allow good material flow. If the rake is too vertical, you will
not like the finish.
It is recommended that the Rake be roughly perpendicular with
the Scarifiers during initial setup then adjust from there for
personal preference. The idea is when you are in loose material,
the tips of rake are engaged into the material by about a 1/2"
or so.
Rear Link is adjusted the same as the Top Link to control
Rake pitch.

with the Scarifiers during initial setup then adjust from there
