Disc Leveling Front To Rear; Disconnecting The Implement From The Tractor; Implement Storage - Bush Hog 1D Series Operator's Manual

11.3 Disc Leveling Front to Rear

The truest way to level your disc from front to rear is to observe behind the center of the disc harrow. In most
soil conditions, a slight ridge in the center is actually a level operation. More air pockets will form where soil is
thrown against each other causing a small ridge to form that will disappear after a soaking rain.
1. If unit is leaving a significant ridge in the center, raise the rear disc gangs by shortening the center 3-Point
Top Link.
2. If unit is leaving a furrow (valley) in the center, lower rear disc gangs by lengthening the center3-Point Top
Link.

12. DISCONNECTING THE IMPLEMENT FROM THE TRACTOR

Before disconnecting the implement move the implement to a level storage location and lower it to the ground.
If the implement is not resting securely on the ground, block the implement up securely before attempting to
disconnect it from the tractor.
Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from under the implement and clear of any pinch
points caused by the tractor hitch arms and implement pins.Never stand or allow another
person to stand between a running Tractor and the Implement when disconnecting the
Implement from the Tractor. Always shut the Tractor off completely and set the parking brake
before attempting to disconnect the Implement pins from the Tractor hitch.
Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift
the Tongue without using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the
tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use the Tongue
Jack for lifting the Implement only. Overloading the Tongue Jack can cause failure with
possible serious bodily injury or even death.
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.

IMPLEMENT STORAGE

Properly preparing and storing the implement at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance
and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
• Thoroughly clean all debris off the implement to prevent damage from rotting grass and standing water.
• Lubricate all implement grease points as detailed in the maintenance section.
• Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.
• Check the implement for worn and damaged parts. Perform repairs and make replacements immediately
so that the implement will be ready for use at the start of the next season.
• Store the implement in a clean, dry place with the implement housing resting securely on blocks or at
ground level.
• Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the
implement.
