8. Slowly lower the plow into the ground to the desired
depth, while moving the traction unit backward.
9. When finished, release the auxiliary hydraulics lever
to stop the plow.
CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• When plowing on a hill, the plow can swing
down hill when raised out of the soil.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Due to the weight of the plow, if it swings too
fast, the force could tip the traction unit
injuring you or others.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• When plowing on a hill, raise the plow out of
the ground slowly, letting it swing while the
bullet is still in the soil.
10. Raise the plow out of the ground far enough to pull the
puller out of the soil.
11. Move the traction unit rearward to pull out a working
length of material, then move forward slightly to
create some slack in the line.
12. Stop the engine.
Transporting the Plow
1. Move the lynch pins to the inside holes on the spring
rods to prevent side to side movement (Fig. 4).
CAUTION
2. Connect the material being installed to the plow as
described in the blade Installation Instructions.
3. If your traction unit has a speed selector, move it to the
slow (turtle) position.
4. Start the engine.
5. Tilt the attachment plate completely back so that the
top of the plow is parallel to the ground (Fig. 6)
6. Lower the plow so that it is resting on the ground.
IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the plow is on or in
the ground before engaging the auxiliary hydraulics
lever. Failure to do so will cause excessive vibration of
the traction unit, possibly resulting in damage.
Note: If you dig a hole to lower the blade into before
starting, it will reduce the risk of bending the blade.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Failure to secure the plow will allow it to swing
side to side and unbalance the plow.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Due to the weight of the plow, if it swings too
fast, the force could tip the traction unit
injuring you or others.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Always secure the plow with the lynch pins in
the inner holes of the spring rods before
transporting the plow.
2. Raise the loader arms just enough to ensure that the
blade clears the ground.
IMPORTANT: Never transport the plow with the arms
fully raised.
6
Gauging Plow Depth
Normally, you will be plowing at the maximum depth set
by the blade; however, the plow is also equipped with a
gauge to allow you to lift the plow and determine how
high above maximum depth you are plowing.
The gauge is located on the the left side of the plow facing
the traction unit. A rod assembly runs from the gauge to
the ground. When the plow is lifted, the indicator on the
gauge moves down. Marks on the gauge show the number
of inches lower or higher than the maximum depth that
you are plowing. The gauge reads from +2 to –3 inches
(+5 to –7.6 cm), with zero being the maximum depth on
bare ground and –3 being 3 inches (7.6 cm) above
maximum depth. Figures 5 and 6 illustrate the gauge.
2
1
When plowing grass covered ground, the gauge will read
about an inch lower than the actual depth because of the
grass. In this case, lower the plow to the desired coulter
depth and note the reading on the gauge.
If you are transporting the plow or are plowing rough
terrain, you can lock the gauge at the +2 position to keep
it from being damaged. To lock the gauge, manually raise
it to the +2 position and move the locking lever to the left.
Tips for Plowing
• When plowing long runs it is advisable to install two
hairpin cotters through the spring and quick attach pins
on the mount plate (Fig. 7). This will ensure that the
vibration of the plow will not cause the pins to come
loose.
Note: If your quick attach pins do not have holes in them
for the hairpin cotters, contact your dealer to obtain new
quick attach pins.

When plowing bare ground, maximum depth is indicated
on the gauge as the zero mark. You can plow down to the
+1 mark, but in this case you will be contacting the
ground with the coulter axle. Plowing any lower may
damage the coulter.

• To reduce wear on the traction unit drive chain (if your
model has one), tighten the chain so there is only 2 in.
(5 cm) of slack on the upper span (refer to your
traction unit Operator’s Manual for instructions).
• Clean the area of trash, branches and rocks before
plowing to prevent equipment damage.
• Always begin plowing with the slowest ground speed
possible. Increase speed if conditions permit, but do
not allow the tires or tracks to spin. Spinning the
tracks or tires will cause turf damage and place stress
on the traction unit.
• Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed)
when plowing.
• Always plow backwards (i.e., in reverse).
• If your traction unit has a speed selector and a flow
divider, move the speed selector to slow (turtle) and
the flow divider to the 10 o’clock position.
• Avoid sharp turns when plowing to increase
productivity and minimize ground disturbance.
