Front Disc Gang Lateral Positioning

*NB - Be sure machine is tracking in line before attempting to make this adjustment page 19- 20.

The Disc positioning system is used for maximum soil disturbance and reduced ridging. Adjustment can be made for more precise weed control, soil disturbance and to compensate for disc wear.  Start with factory settings  Test run at normal operating speed and stop quickly.  Check for ridges of undug soil. (follow ridge into machine)  For ridges where front and rear discs throw away from each other see figure 19 at point (A), front gang should be adjusted to the right. Figure 20 shows correct adjustment to remove ridge.  For ridges where front and rear discs throw towards each other see figure 19 at point (B), front gang should be adjusted to the left.  Only adjust in small increments ½” or 12mm  Re-check in hard soils as jump arms tend to flex more.
