Auto Reset Shank Adjustment:
The dual spring package should be preloaded so that
both top and bottom springs are loaded evenly and
measure 23.8 inches in length. Note: The spring pack is
factory set and should not be disassembled in the field.
Serious injury can result from instant release of stored
energy.

Gauge Wheel Adjustment:
1) Using the shank depth decal (1) located on the front
of the sub soiler, determine the desired shank depth and
pin placement.
2) Remove the cross pin (2) from the gauge wheel
assembly and adjust the gauge wheel either up or down
using the jack (3).
3) Once the desired holes line up, re-insert the cross pin
to hold the gauge wheel in place. Note: It is important to
re-install the cross pin to avoid overloading the jack
during field operation.

Coulter Height Adjustment:
1) When adjusting the height of the coulter, start by sub-
tracting 8 inches from the desired shank depth.
2) Take that distance and measure from the top of the
frame to the top of the coulter shank. This adjustment
will allow the coulter to run approximately hub deep
during field operation.

Coulter Alignment:
1) Loosen the top and bottom jam nuts (4), set screws
(5) and swivel limiter set screw (6). Lower the sub soiler
into the ground and drive forward a few feet.
2) With the sub soiler in the ground, tighten the top and
bottom set screws (5) and jam nuts (4). Position the
swivel limiter in the center of the slot and tighten the set
screw (6).
3) Check the alignment of the coulter and shank. Move
either the coulter or shank so that the shank is in the
center of the grove made by the coulter.
Note: If the coulters need to swivel, loosen the top and
bottom set screws (4) and jam nuts (5). Re-tighten the
jam nut to prevent the set screw from falling out.

Coulter Spring Adjustment:
Coulter springs are preset at the factory giving coulters an
initial operation force of 400+lbs. This setting is adequate
for most field conditions. Resetting the coulter spring
shorter than 9 7/8 inches can cause premature failure of
parts.
