DISC ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Your Gearmore Disc has 3 angle settings. If you are
using your Disc in loose soil and it is digging too deep,
reduce the gang angle cut. If your disc is not digging
deep enough, increase the gang angle cut.
IMPORTANT:
Always turn tractor key off and remove key before
performing any maintenance or adjustments on
Disc.
To adjust the gang angle cut, raise the Disc a few
inches off the ground and block it up. Loosen the hex
head bolts in each disc gang mounting bar, where it
mounts to the main frame. Remove the bolts from
the bar and move the gang to the front or back. Re-
install the bolts and tighten.
NOTE:
The more angle you have the more aggressive the
cut will be and the more horsepower will be required
to pull your unit.
For better ground fi nish, angle the rear gangs at a
lesser angle than the front gangs.
NOTE:
The rear discs should be centered between the front
discs for optimum performance.

MAINTENANCE
Proper service and adjustment is the key to long life
for any implement. With careful systematic inspec-
tions, you can avoid many costly repairs and down-
time.
Torque all nuts to the torque value listed on page 20
after the fi rst initial 5 hours of fi eld operation.
IMPORTANT:
Torque disc gang axle nuts to 250 ft. lbs. after the
fi rst initial 5 hours of operation. Failure to tighten
the axle nuts may result in the nut becoming loose
or lost resulting in possible damage to the axle
and/or disc gang.
LUBRICATION
There are no parts on the disc that require lubrica-
tion.
Bearings are sealed for life and do not require
greasing.
