NOTE: Mounting the jack to the gauge wheel arm may
cause clearance problems with the Great Plains SubSoiler Hitch or with tractor tires if the ripper is 3-point
mounted. If gauge mounts line up with tires or
hitch, be sure there is at least 12" clearance between front of the frame tube and tires or hitch. If
the 12" clearance exists, the gauge wheels will mount
on the front side of the front frame tube. Please refer to
the following instructions on page 2. If there is not 12"
clearance, the gauge wheels will need moved out towards the end of the frame or need mounted on the
back side of the front frame tube. Please ref er to page
4 for these instructions.
