OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Gauge Wheels
1. The Field Cultivator is equipped with castering gauge
wheels at the outer front corners of each wing. These
gauge wheels are used to limit depth of the wings,
and prevent gouging and buckling of wing frames.
2. Gauge wheels are not intended to carry the wing, but
prevent excessive depth. Adjust the wheels to carry
some weight, but not enough hold the wing from
reaching operating depth set with the main lift
hydraulics.
3. To adjust the gauge wheel depth, loosen and adjust
the nuts on each side of the gauge wheel cross
Figure 4-9. A wrench is provided on the implement
for this adjustment See Figure
connections should remain tight. Securely tighten the
adjusting nuts when complete. All gauge wheel
assemblies should be set the same. Verify
adjustment by measuring the length of the bolt
centers of the gauge wheel adjustment rod.

Depth Stop Adjustment
1. The operating depth of the Field Cultivator is
controlled by a single-point depth stop. The stop is
located at the center front of the machine
Figure 4-10.
2. Adjust the depth stop by turning the handle out
(counter-clockwise) to increase operating depth. Turn
the handle in (clockwise) to decrease operating
depth. One turn will equal approximately 3/16"
adjustment in depth. The gauge on the side of the
depth stop tube gives a reference for depth setting.
The "A "setting refers to maximum operating depth.
IMPORTANT
For maximum operating depth, the lift wheels must
be in contact with the ground and carry some of the
machine weight. Raising the lift wheels off the
ground, permits uncontrolled depth of each frame
section and does not allow the self-leveler to
function properly.
