Field Operation
1. Raise the unit to take the weight off of the transport

transport lock s on the re tainers abov e th e ma in lift

CAUTION
Leveling (Front-to-Rear)
1. The leveling fe ature on the 2131 Wing Coulter Chisel
is used to keep the machine level when raising the
unit from a working position to a transport position.
The leveling feature is also used to le vel the unit from
front-to-rear to perform a level operation in the field.
2. The unit should be level from front to rear. This will
reduce horsepower requirements, allow a more
uniform tillage operation, and reduce unnecessary
point wear.
3. To adjust the leveling feature, loosen jam nuts at
each end of the radius rod using the adjustment
wrenches (See Figure 4-7.) To raise the front of the
Wing Coulter Chisel, lengthen the radius rod
assembly. To lower the front of the Wing Coulter
Chisel, shorten the radius rod assembly. After
adjusting, retighten jam nuts at each end.
Adjustments should be made in small increments.
