    INTRODUCTION To obtain maximum benefits from the BRILLION FIELD CULTIVATOR, please study this manual care- fully before starting assembly or operation. A special section, “Assembly Instructions”, is included. If items in this manual are not understood, contact your local Brillion dealer.

  • Page 6: Safety Suggestions

    afety uggestions afety uggestions Federal law requires you to explain the safety and operating instructions furnished with this machine to all employees before they are allowed to operate the machine. These must be repeated to the employ- ees at the beginning of each season. Be sure to observe and follow the instructions for the safety of anyone operating or near the machine.
  • Page 7 DANGER FALLING WINGS CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. STAND CLEAR WHEN WINGS ARE BEING RAISED OR LOWERED. 3J675 The wings of the HFC Cultivator must not be raised by any other method than using properly bled hydraulic cylinders provided with the machine. If the wings have been raised by another method, and the cylinders are not filled with oil, the unfolding sequence becomes extremely dangerous.

  • Page 10: Pre-Operating Checks

    PRE-OPERATING CHECKS Hydraulic cylinders Before raising or lowering the wings, be sure that the wing lift cylinders are properly bled (all air is removed from the hydraulic circuit). Improperly bled cylinders will permit the wings to free-fall, possibly causing injury to the operator and damage to the machine.
  • Page 11 d. Extend the cylinders and hold the control lever in the extend position until there is no motion in any of the cylinders, check the pin center distances, if they are not all approxi mately 28 1/4”, retract the cylinders, disconnect the pins from the wheel arms, and bleed the air from the hydraulic circuit by extending and retracting the cylinders at least 3 times.
  • Page 12 If your machine is 16 feet through 19 feet wide, the wing gage wheels are used only to control the operating depth. Check to make sure that the machine is level in the operating position. If it is not, set the wing gage wheel to a higher or lower position by using different holes in the gage wheel adjust bar.

  • Page 13: Operating Instructions

    Replace chain if one or more links are broken, stretched, or otherwise damaged or deformed. Keep attaching hardware fastened securely. If bolts are replaced, be sure to use grade 5 or higher. If you have any questions regarding the safety chain call your Brillion dealer. 194rev3-4-05 Page 10 2K314...

  • Page 14: Operating Depth Adjustment

    FIGURE 5 Prepare the machine for field operation Raise the machine fully on its transport wheels. Remove the transport locks on both center axle lift cylinders and place them in their stor age position. See figure 3. Lower the wings by extending the wing lift cylinders. Make sure that the cylinders are extended completely, this will allow the wings to float down to follow the contour of the ground.
  • Page 15 Figure 6 Level the machine front to rear by adjusting the leveling linkage as required. Lengthening the linkage raises the front, shortening the linkage lowers the front. NOTE: In operation, the adjustment of wing gage wheels will probably be different than the center section.

  • Page 16: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE Fasteners After a few hours use, check entire machine and tighten any loose nuts or bolts. Daily or periodic checks should be made thereafter. Shanks After 5 hours of operation, and every 50 hours thereafter, check to make sure that the shank pivot bolts are tight.
