Operation Operating the Machine Rev0307 Page 53 1P423...
Operation Operation MACHINE TRANSPORT To Prepare Machine for Transport Raise machine fully on transport wheels. Rotate Ball Valve Lever upward to the closed position which doesn't allow fluid to flow from 3-1/2 x 20 Cylinders. If traveling a long distance remove cylinder stop segments and install manual transport locks with clevis pin and hairpin.
Operation Operation LEVELING ADJUSTMENT Make sure tractor and Landcommander are on a level surface and extend or retract Leveling Turnbuckle located on the drawbar until the machine is parallel front to rear to the ground surface. Only minor adjustments will be necessary in the field. WORKING SPEED of 5-6 MPH during operation obtains optimum results.
Operation Operation DEPTH CONTROL Depth Control of Shanks To control shank depth, install cylinder stop segments equally to each 3-1/2 x 20 Cylinder Rod. Use Depth indicator, located by leveling stand, as a guide. Approximately 1" of cylinder stroke adjustment equals 2" of shank depth change. INDICATOR POINTER INDICATOR...
Page 63
Operation Operation DEPTH CONTROL Depth Control of Gangs To control Front and Rear Gang depth, install cylinder stop segments equally to each pair of 3 x 8 Cylinder Rod and retract the cylinder. Note that extending the cylinders lowers the gangs.
Page 64
Operation Operation ADJUSTING GANG PITCH Front Gangs pitch angle can be set at 10, 15, 17-1/2, and 20 degrees. Note a higher degree will throw more ground outward. Rear Gangs pitch angle can be set at 10, 15, and 20 degrees. Note a higher degree will throw more ground inward.
Operation Operation GANG SCRAPER ADJUSTMENT Scrapers scraping the concave surface of the disc must be free to rotate, leaving a gap at the closest point to gang discs of 1/8"- 3/16". Scraper scraping the convex surface of the disc must be about 1/4" or more away from the gang disc.
Maintenance FASTENERS Before operating your Brillion tillage machine check all hardware for tightness. Use the Tightening Torque Chart reproduced below as a guide. After a few hours use, check entire machine and tighten any loose nuts and bolts. Daily or periodic checks should be made thereafter.
Tires and Inner Tube. Inflate to 50 PSI. Starting with Serial Number 202842 all machines are shipped with Mounted Tires 12.5L-16.5 SL. Brillion DOES NOT sell the wheel separately because it must be able to with stand 90 PSI of inflation.
Maintenance Maintenance LUBRICATION Auto-Reset Shank Assembly, Front and Rear Gang Trunnion Bearings, and Front and Rear Gang Rockshaft Cast Bearings should be greased after 20 hours of use and greased if machine is not to be used for some time. Note: It is good machine maintenance practice to check all bolts for tightness during regular lubrications.
Maintenance Maintenance AUTO-RESET SHANKS WARNING: Auto-Reset Shank is ALWAYS Under Load Do not disassemble, spring is loaded and improper removal of bolts could result in serious injury. Shank is spring loaded and serious injury could result as shank resets. Do not use hands or feet to dislodge any obstruction holding the shank in the tipped position.
TROUBLESHOOTING POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY Shanks not penetrating deep enough Cylinder stop segments are limiting depth. Remove cylinder stop segments. Gangs limiting depth. Raise gangs up. Implement not level. Level unit with drawbar turnbuckle. Covering too much residue Front gangs pitch set too aggressive. Move front gangs rearward to a lesser pitch setting.
Page 73
TROUBLESHOOTING POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY Plugging around the shanks Incorrect shank location. shank placement for your particule model. shank location. Move shank away from wheel a Plugging at wheel. short distance from recommended location. Make sure that tandems are arranged as shown for shank spacing.
