Adjusting The Side Wheel - Horizon Fitness DSX 40 Operator's Manual

6.6.6 - Adjusting the side wheel

The DSX Coulter is fitted with a side wheel to limit disc depth & maintain the volume of ground
moved by the disc. This wheel also cleans the disc of earth and debris accumulations whilst in
operation (Therefore the wheel must be aligned against the disc without restricting the movement)
CAUTION: Never work under a raised implement. Always support raised implements
with appropriate stands.

To adjust the side guage wheels the coulter must
be in the raised position to allow for the side guage
wheels and discs to be rotated.
1. Loosen the retaining nut with a 24mm wrench.
2. Move the shims to the inside/outside to adjust
the wheels setting relative to the disc.
3. Retighten the retaining nut to the appropriate
torque (210Nm)
4. Ensure the side wheel can still be freely rotated
against the disc by hand.
5. If the side wheel is unable to be rotated freely,
repeat steps 1-4 to readjust shim settings. If
problems persist, additional spacers can be
installed to the gauge wheel. Extra shims will be
required to move the gauge wheel away from
the disc.
