2) Lower the unit with the depth control circuit until
the points are about 1” above the ground.
3) Check the main frame side to side level. Adjust
the packer pivot brackets as necessary.
4) Adjust the main frame front to back with long
turnbuckle link so the front row of points is about
1” lower than the back row of points. Lengthen
the link to lower the front of the frame.
Note: Frames should be preset with a 1”
difference front to back due to the
tendency of the packers to sink more in
worked soil than the front wheels. This
setting is approximate and may have to
be adjusted, depending on soil conditions.
5) Adjust the wing frames side to side and front to
back in the same way as the main frame (Step 3
and 4).
6) Adjust the wing frames to the same height as the
main frame, by adjusting the short turnbuckle link.
Lengthen the link to lower the frame.
IMPORTANT
Keep tire air pressure at the listed
specifications to achieve and maintain
proper level.
