of the side gauge wheels.

Lateral adjustment
Adjust scraper to obtain play (X) of approximately 3 mm
(0.12 ’’) between scraper (2) and the inside rubber tread
of gauge wheel (3).
Lengthways adjustment
Adjust scraper (2) as close as possible to the gauge
wheel, without touching it. Rotate gauge wheel once to

In certain wet conditions with plant debris, it may
be necessary to remove the scrapers to continue
working without risking stopping the gauge
