Setting Single Point Depth Control

causym CAUTION: DO NOT adjust machine while in motion. Falling off a moving machine can result in serious injury or death to you or others. ALWAYS stop tractor and lower machine BEFORE adjusting.

IMPORTANT: Make sure tractor flow control is set to fast position.

NOTE: For consistent single point performance, always move tractor control lever rapidly from neutral to lower position.

1. With machine stopped and sweeps at operating depth, turn Single Point Depth Control crank (C) until stop bracket (D) contacts and slightly depresses valve plunger (E).

2. With machine moving forward, pull SCV I (A) rearward then push forward. Confirm that machine stops lowering at desired depth setting, as shown on depth indicator. Depth indicator arrow (B) on machine shows relative depth only and should not be used for depth setting. Depth control must be set by measuring sweep depth.
