11. Operating Hints:
a. Use the weight of the ma-
chine to push the tines into
the ground. Add no more
than 100 lbs. to the frame
when the ground is hard or
deeply rutted. Do not add
more weight and push the
tines too far into the ground
and damage the frame.
b. Use the amount of soil ahead
of the blade as a guide to how
the machine is functioning.
There should always be a
nominal amount of soil com-
ing over the blade. This will
insure that the soil is moved
across the width of the ma-
chine.
c. In severely compacted or
deeply rutted conditions, it is
recommended that more than
one pass be made to level,
condition, and compact the
soil.
