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.

DEPTH REGULATOR LEVER

Tilling depth is controlled by the height of the depth regulator lever.

To adjust tilling depth.

1.Remove detent pin.

2.Raise the depth regulator lever to position tines at chosen tilling depth.

3.Align hole in depth regulator lever with hole in depth regulator bracket and replace detent pin.
