Flex Configuration

  1. NOTE: Follow procedure on both sides of machine.

    Position machine frame on a smooth, level surface in an unfolded (planting) position. Then cut a 116 mm (4-9/16 in.) plastic spacer from SHC40 PVC and install next to existing spacer on trunnion at (A). Adjust nuts so an equal amount of spacer is exposed at each end of link sleeve. This allows the wing frame to flex five degrees up and down.
