. Raise the depth regulator lever to position tines at 

chosen tilling depth.

3. Align hole in depth regulator lever with hole in depth 

regulator bracket and replace detent pin.

  Depth regulator lever Down =

 Shallower tilling. 

Place the detent pin in the top hole of the depth 
regulator lever for shallowest tilling.
