OPERATION
PREADJUSTMENT
[Refer to Fig. 5 and 6]
Note:
During normal plowing,
the right side Tractor
Wheels
will be riding in the previously
plowed furrow
A furrow
is the cut area your plow makes when turning the soil,
An initial setting for your plow is required to cut the
first furrow on level ground
The following
pre-sets will
result in an
approximate
5" to 6" plowing
depth,,
Remove Stabilizer Bolts and Nuts from Sleeve Hitch
The plow must be free to move side to side on Hitch
Lower your Tractor Lift Handle and lock in Lowered
Position.
You may need to Lower the "Attachment
Depth
Control"
on your Tractor
to do this
e Mount the Plow to the Sleeve Hitch with the Hitch Pin
furnished with the Hitch
Refer to Figure
1 and Table 1 to
select the proper mounting
hole
e Adiust Lift Spring Tension on Hitch as required,
see
Hitch Manual for instructions
e Adjust the Depth Crank of Plow until Point of
Plow Share is on the ground and the rear of Plow
Landside
is approximately
1" off the ground.
(Refer
to Figure 5)
Note:
The Plow will appear to be angled to left,
This will allow the Plow to run level when the
Right Hand Tractor Wheels are in the plowed furrow°
eThe
plowing
depth is set by adjusting
the
Tractor Sleeve Hitch Turnbuckle
until Hitch Drawstrap
has about I" of slot exposed between Pin and end
of Slot. Loosen the Hex Nut on the Hitch
Turnbuckle
to adjust it
Make sureto
retighten
it
after adjusting
eAdjust
the Plow Coulter to its highest position,
e Go and make your first two furrows
as described
in the diagram
(X to A and turn B to C )., Make
sure the Tractor Lift Handle is Lowered and Locked
into the down position.
Plow in Third Gear and near
Full Throttle
Raise the Plow to the Transport
Position when turning
e If your Plow is not
plowing at 4"to 5" deep
on your initial two passes, readjust the Plow Depth
Crank by turning it clockwise
(.,-e.) to go deeper
or counter-clockwise
(.e_) to go shallower.
(See
Fig 8)
Make this adjustment
ONE TURN at a time
until desired depth is obtained,
Note: The rest of the furrows will be made with
the Tractor Tires in the previously
cut furrows;
therefore,
the Pitch (Depth) of the Plow must be
readjusted
to a 5" to 6" plowing
depth,
Position your Tractor with the inside of the
Right (Side) wheels against the side of the
previously
plowed furrow
Start plowing
for a short distance and check the
depth of the furrow
Adjust the Depth Crank Clock-
wise or Counter-Clockwise
ONE turn at a time and
retry until the 5" to 6" depth is obtained
FIG,. 6
e After plowing
depth is set with plow in furrow,
stop the Tractor and measure the distance from the
centerline
of the Plow Coulter Axle Bolt---it
should be about 2"above
the ground
If it is not,
raise the Plow out of the ground and adjust the
Coulter up or down to obtain this dimension
Be
sure to adjust side motion at thistime
(See
Coulter Adjustment
page 8)
TRACKING
ADJUSTMENT
(OPTIONAL)
Note:
If the Plow appears to track to the left
Standard and turning
the Tracking
Adjustment
Bolt
while plowing,
an adjustment
is available to correct
Clockwise
("_') two turns,, Retighten
Hex Nuts
this condition
(Refer to Figure 9)
securely,
Repeat Adjustment
as necessary until plow
®The Tracking Adjustment
is made by loosening
both
pulls straight at !0" from the adjacent plowed
.].[2" Hex .Nuts spcuring the Plow Bottom
