For full hydraulic operation, Cylinders, Hose, and Hose Retainers are shipped as separate bundles. For manual operation, Adjust Links are shipped as separate bundles for the pivot and swing positions. The tilt is adjusted with an Index Pin in the Carrier. Remove the Moldboard Pivot Pin from the Moldboard and clean all paint from the Pin. Install Moldboard on the Moldboard Carrier.

Additional accessories are provided for use with the Planer Wheel: Hydraulic Cylinder or Ratchet Jack.
