Cutting unit

Depth lever

Use the depth lever to raise and lower the blades between working and transport position. When the lever is up, the blades are in working position. Blades should penetrate the soil to a depth of 1/8" to 1/4" with a maximum penetration of 1/2". Check your seed bag for the manufacture’s recommended depth of application.

Depth knob

The knob is used to adjust the cutting depth of the blades. Turning the knob counterclockwise increases the working depth. A shim has been added at the factory to keep the blades from penetrating the soil too deeply. As the blades wear, remove the shim and store below the depth lock until new blades are added, then replace the shim in the original position.

Depth lock

The screw under the depth knob is used to lock the depth knob to prevent it being changed by machine vibrations. Undo the depth lock by turning it counterclockwise before turning the depth knob. Secure the depth knob with the depth lock after adjusting settings.

Clutch

The clutch tightens the drive belt and engages the drive for the blades. When the clutch lever is pressed against the handle, the blades begin to rotate. Hold the clutch tightly when working so that the belt does not slide.
