c. Raise or lower each harrow bar to the desired
height.
Note: To maximize the unit’s performance, it should be
operated at speeds ranging from 7 to 9 mph (11
to 14 kph). This keeps the fi eld debris moving
through the harrow sections and avoids clogging.
17. Adjust the rolling basket height and tension.
a. Place the rolling basket on a fl at, level surface.
b. Remove the lynch pin and raise the turnbuckle lock
(release the turnbuckle to rotate).
c. Adjust the turnbuckle with turnbuckle wrench to
either raise or lower the rolling basket. To adjust
the turnbuckle, use the wrench provided on the
front of the unit. Set the rolling basket height so it
just touches the ground.
d. Make sure all the rolling basket are adjusted to the
same height. Failure to do so will result in uneven
seedbed conditions and could damage the rolling
basket arms and/or bearings.
e. In the raised position, adjust the spring tension just
tight enough to prevent the spring from loosening
and falling out. Make sure the jamb nut is securely
tightened against the adjusting nut.
f. During operation the spring should only lightly
stretch, approximately 1/16” gap between the
spring coils. Too much spring tension will cause
premature failure, especially when going through
waterways or ditches.
The unit should now be ready.
