Drag Stake Down = Shallower tilling. Place the detent pin in the top hole of the drag stake for shallowest tilling.
Drag Stake Up = Deeper tilling. Place the detent pin in the bottom hole of the drag stake for deepest tilling.

CAUTION
Do not adjust tilling depth unless drive control levers are released to neutral position.

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.
