    Safety First Guidelines When you see this symbol on your machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury. Indicates death or serious injury will result if proper precautions are not taken. Indicates death, serious injury or property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
  • Page 11: Attaching The Disk To The Tractor

    Attaching the Disk to the Tractor The disk is equipped with a heavy tongue that both flexes and swivels to accommodate the most rugged terrain including large rocks and tree stumps. This is an essential design feature; however it requires extra care when attaching the disk to a tractor.
  • Page 12: Transporting The Disk

    Transporting the Disk □ Clean both quick disconnects and tractor couplers before connecting. Shut off the tractor engine and move the hydraulic levers back and forth to relieve pressure in the hydraulic system. Connect the hydraulics hoses to the tractor hydraulic couplers. For ease of use it is recommended the hoses be attached in the order which lowers the disk when the hydraulic lever is pushed forward and raises it when the lever is pulled back.
  • Page 13: Transport Safety

    Transporting the Disk □ Raise the disk to its maximum height by completely extending the hydraulic cylinder. Install the transport stay over the hydraulic cylinder rod with the plated end against the head gland of the cylinder. Install the pins provided. Switch the tractor off and move the hydraulic lever back and forth, releasing the pressure in the system and allowing the weight of the disc to be taken up by the transport stay.
  • Page 14: Operating Safety

    Operating Safety □ Become familiar with the disk and its operation before using the unit. Read this manual carefully and contact your dealer if you have any questions. □ Never allow riders on the tractor or disk. Serious injury or death could result from falling in the path of the disk while in operation or transport.
  • Page 15: Operating The Disk

    Operating the Disk General Operating Guidelines □ Use the recommended size tractor. Weight is as important as horsepower. Too light a tractor will be overpowered by the plowing action of the disk and its front end will be swung to the left, requiring constant steering corrections.
  • Page 16: Change The Gang Angles

    Swing the hitch to the desired position and reattach the side arm through the appropriate bolt holes in the plates on the side of the hitch. Tighten the 1-1/4” bolts to 1500 ft/lbs and the 2” fabricated bolt to 2000 ft/lbs and recheck after the next 10 hrs of use. CHANGE THE GANG ANGLES Changing the angle of the front and rear gangs will affect the penetration of the gangs and mixing of the soil.
  • Page 17: Adjust The Levelling Control Arm

    To change the angle of the front gang, loosen the bolts at positions A and remove the bolt at position B. With the disk slightly lowered into the ground, use the tractor to carefully move the disk either forward or backwards to the desired position.
  • Page 18: Service And Maintenance Safety

    Service and Maintenance Safety □ Before servicing the disk, always: 1. Lower the disk to the ground. 2. Shut the tractor engine off. 3. Engage the tractors parking brake and/or place transmission in park. 4. Relieve the hydraulics by moving the control lever back and forth. 5.
  • Page 19: Lubricate The Disk

    Lubricate the Disk □ The following illustrations highlight those areas of the disk subject to stress and wear. Unless indicated otherwise, these fittings should be greased daily or after every 10 hours of operation. □ Use a pressure lubrication gun and apply a sufficient amount of No. 2 multi-purpose lithium grease or equivalent to flush out the old grease.
  • Page 20: Check The Oil-Bath Bearings

    Grease wheel bearings (H) sparingly – six “shots” of grease every 150 hours. Check the Oil-Bath Bearings Visually check the oil-bath bearings daily. Oil-bath bearing assemblies can leak oil from three locations and attention should be paid to these areas. A - Oil can seep from between the bearing housing and the end cap or from around the bolts that hold the end cap to the housing.
  • Page 21: Adjusting The Scrapers

    Adjusting the Scrapers Adjust the scrapers as close to the disk blades as possible without touching the blades. move a scraper first loosen equally the u-bolts (A) holding it to the scraper bar. Use a hammer to alternatively tap the top side of the u-bolts and the scraper itself in the required direction.
  • Page 22: Fluid And Fastener Specifications

    Fluid and Fastener Specifications □ DISK GANG ASSEMBLY AXLES: The disk gang assembly axles are 2-1/2” in diameter and are threaded at either end. A 4” heavy cast nut is installed at either end and tightened to complete the rigid gang assembly. To insure proper functioning and maximum durability, the axle nuts should be checked and tightened daily during the first (7) seven days of operation when the disk is new or after replacing any of the gang assembly components.

    Keep Gang Assemblies Tight □ To ensure proper function and maximum durability, the axle nuts should be checked and tightened daily during the first (7) days of operation when the disk is new or after replacing any of the gang components. □...
  • Page 24: Assembly Safety

    Assembly Safety □ Wear proper attire when assembling disk. Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid entanglement in equipment. Wear sturdy, grip work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hands, hearing and head. □ Handle the disk gang components with care during assembly. The disk blades are sharp and can cut hands, feet, etc.
  • Page 25 1. Run a chain or strap from the top of the bridle mast to the first frame cross member to keep the bridle from falling forward while working on the disk. A preferred method is to place the pin in the clevis at the top of the mast and the pin in the clevis on the frame cross member. It is then possible to run a light chain or a strap around the pins.
  • Page 26 5. Lower the frame to the ground and remove the chain or strap placed in step 2. 6. Attach the hydraulic cylinder to the frame at the clevis on the cross member. Remove the plugs from the cylinder ports to prevent an air lock when the rod moves in the cylinder barrel. 7.
  • Page 27 9. Chock the tires and place a support under the front right corner of the disk frame. 10. If necessary, adjust the chain or strap between the bridle mast and frame cross member to ensure the mast is as vertically straight as possible. This will simplify the installation of the hitch.
  • Page 28 15. Bolt the triangular shaped lever plate (Item 15 – page 35) into the clevis on top of the first frame cross member. Install the bottom transport control arm (Item 14 – page 35) between the clevis on the transport assembly and the lever plate. Install the top transport control arm and eyebolt (Items 7 and 8 –...
  • Page 29 18. Place the front gang bar assembly ahead of the hitch at an approximate 20 degree angle and with the disk blades facing the direction illustrated. When the gang bar assembly is attached to the frame the blade scrapers must be to the rear. 19.
  • Page 30 21 - 22. Note: Gang bars deleted for clarity. 23. Place the rear gang bar assembly under the rear of disk with blades facing in the direction illustrated. 24. Use a single strap or chain of sufficient strength wrapped around the gang bar at its center point of balance to lift the bar up to the frame.
  • Page 31 25 – 26. Note: Gang bars deleted for clarity. 27. Install lights on the rear gang scraper bar and within 16” of the outside extents of the disk width. 28. Install the light kit module. Run the cables between the lights and the module as per the tags on the module pigtails indicating right hand and left hand.
  • Page 32: Disk Gang Assembly Procedure

    Disk Gang Assembly Procedure A disk gang consists of an axle on which disk blades, spacer spools and bearings are mounted. The axle is threaded at each end. End washers are then placed on both ends of the axle. Heavy axle nuts are then threaded onto each end and tighted to a recommended torque of 2000-2200 ft/lbs.
