DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Fig. 8
• To turn the plow share into the ground to
open the "first" furrow, adjust the
point downward
until the plow
is cutting 4
U
to 5" deep.
• After a few furrows, (or desired depth is
reached) turn the crank COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
to
maintain that depth. Do not allow landside to ride
more than
1/2" off bottom of furrow as this will
cause excessive wear
on. bottom of share resulting
in
poor soil penetration and loss of landside
support.
TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Fig. 9
NOTE:
For most plowing conditions, the landside will
be properly adjusted (from Fig.
2 assembly)',
enabling the plow bottom to react like a rudder
while ground engaged. But if the
tip of the plow
share is too far LEFT of the beam, the plow will
tend to overcut and leave
a ragged furrow wall.
This condition can be readily corrected by making
the following adjustment.
• Loosen both

MAINTENAN'CE
• The Moldboard should (after initial "scourlnq")
be kept in a smooth, polished condition. Fine
sandpaper, steel wool, kerosene, naptha, etc. may be
used to restore the finish on
a rusty Moldboard.
• The Coulter Blade edge should be relatively
sharp. If sharpening is necessary, use a
flat
file.

• Every 4 hours lubricate the Coulter Hub bearing
surface through
the grease fitting.
• For smooth operation and
to prohibit the
formation of rust on the crank, keep a
light
coating of oil on threads.
Note: When lubricating
bearing, it is recommended
that you use multipurpose grease.
