General Operating and Maintenance Instructions REGULATING PLANT SETTING DEPTH: All new operators should take care to see that the plants are placed well down in the pockets so that the plant is held ﬁrmly. The depth for setting of plants can be regulated by the distance that root is extended out of the pocket. CHAIN UNITS: Make sure the upper conveyor sprocket isn't over tightened, causing the chain to become stretched between the upper and lower sprockets.
