Depth Regulator Lever Down = Shallower tilling. Place the detent pin in the top hole of the depth regulator lever for shallowest tilling.
Depth Regulator Lever Up = Deeper tilling. Place the detent pin in the bottom hole of the depth regulator lever for deepest tilling.
WARNING
Always set the depth regulator lever in the transport position before starting engine, that is, place the detent pin in the highest hole of the depth regulator lever.
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Proper belt tension is critical to good performance. After 1/2 hour of operation, all cables may have to be adjusted due to initial stretch. Thereafter, check tension after every 2 hours of operation.
To increase belt tension:
1.Loosen upper jam nut. Turn nut up cable in 1/8" increments.
2.Tighten lower jam nut.
3.Check adjustment.
This procedure can be repeated until conduit adjustment bolts have no more adjustment left. If no more adjustment can be made, belt may have to be replaced.
