(It may be necessary tolower overall machine depth also*).- Extend gauge wheel ratchet jacks as necessary toreduce weight on outer front wing corners.- Momentarily take out of float & extend transportcylinders to simulate a rigid hitch (flat ground only).Re-engage float as soon as possible to avoid possibleequipment damage.Mud not clearing from rubber rollers:- Check scraper to roller distance & adjust if necessary(scraper should be 1/4" to 3/8” from roller).- Check scraper plate wear & adjust or replace asnecessary (replace all scrapers per row at the same time).- Check scraper row adjustment for slippage &re-torque or replace hardware if necessary.Roller plugged in wet conditions:- Retract transport cylinders to pass over pushed upmound & smooth out when soil dries.- Raise discs all the way up & drive 12-14 mph on firmsoil to clear rollers.- In certain wet soil conditions place scrapers in storageposition to continue operating.- If plugging persists wait for soil conditions to dry outeven more.Roller skidding in wet conditions:- Check scraper operation & settings.- Raise machine working depth.*- Adjust pitch so front discs are slightly lower byextending threaded pitch adjustment & add depthstops to raise machine working depth.- Momentarily take out of float & extend transportcylinders to simulate a rigid hitch (flat ground only).Re-engage float as soon as possible to avoid possibleequipment damage.- Wait for soil conditions to dry out more.- Check condition & operation of bearings on both endsof the rollers.Plugging disc rows in wet conditions:- Ensure roller is turning & scrapers are set properly.- Raise machine working depth.*- Increase operating speed slightly.- Adjust pitch so front discs are slightly higher byretracting threaded pitch adjustment.- Fully extend depth control cylinders & hold for 30seconds to re-phase.- Check condition & operation of disc hubs (make surethey turn freely).- Wait for soil conditions to dry out more.Leaving a ridge or a groove between rollers:- Adjust ridge wiper down slightly to remove ridge.- Adjust ridge wiper up slightly to eliminate groove.* Gauge wheel usually needs adjustment when changingworking depth by more than one depth control plate.(Pro-Till 20 Model Only)Leaving a ridge between passes:- Adjust deflector up to reduce ridge.- Adjust deflector assembly out to reduce ridge.- Check that end disc size configuration matches factorysuggested setup.- Reduce implement width on guidance system forslightly more overlap.
