INTRODUCTION To obtain maximum benefits from the BRILLION LANDCOMMANDER, please study this manual carefully 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. The Symbol Shown Is Used To Call Your Attention To Instructions Concerning Your Personal Safety.
SAFETY SUGGESTIONS 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 em- ployees at the beginning of each season. Be sure to observe and follow the instructions for the safety of anyone operating or near the machine.
SAFETY WARNING SIGNS The “WARNING” signs illustrated on this page are placed on the machine to warn of hazards. “The warnings found on the sign are for your personal safety and those around you.” Their locations on the machine are shown on the following page. OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS! Keep these signs clean so they can be observed readily.

Maximum road speed is 20 MPH under good conditions. Do not tow the machine at a speed where the operator loses control of his vehicle. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to comply with all applicable laws regarding slow moving vehicle signs, warning lights, reflectors, and safety chains.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Transport Lock Adjustment With the transport lock lever in the operating position, observe the transport locks while SLOWLY raising and lowering the machine. Both locks must raise and clear the cylinder and hoses while the cylinder is being retracted. While raising, the locks must contact the rods just as the rod reaches full stroke.
Depth Control of Shanks A remote depth control is included in the hydraulic circuit to limit the depth of the shanks when the unit is lowered into the ground, see Figure 5. This depth control is actuated by a striker plate which will push in the poppet valve as the machine is lowered thereby changing the working depth of the shanks.
Depth Control of Disc Gangs After the desired depth of the shanks have been set, changes to the working depth of the disc gangs can be made. Your Landcommander is equipped with a Hydraulic Disc Control which is used for the depth adjustment of the disc gangs.
Working Speed Optimum results are obtained by operating the Landcommander at a speed of 5-6 MPH. Turning Because of the sideways anchoring effect of the disc gangs, the machine should always be raised when turning at the end of the field. This will relieve stress on the disc gangs, shanks, and machine frame as well as eliminate large soil piles resulting from forcing the discs sideways.

To replace the bolt that holds the leaf spring together, use the following procedure: It is important that the tension on the leaf spring be properly removed before replacing the bolt. 1. Relax the spring by installing the service tool as outlined in steps 1-5 Install service tool of the “Service Instructions”...
Service of Preloaded Shank Assembly SPRING IS UNDER LOAD Do not disassemble without use of service tool and following the procedure. Spring is loaded and improper removal of bolts could result in serious injury. Refer to Repair Parts Catalog for additional help in identifying parts of shank assembly and service kit. SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS Install service tool as shown in Diagram A.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: The machine shown in the illustrations is a model 724. Your machine may vary slightly in appearance. ( Additional parts identification and location can be obtained from reviewing parts catalog.) Frame 1. Select a smooth level area that can be reached by a hoist or lift truck. 2.

8. Place the rockshaft under the frame so that the wheel arms are toward the front of the machine and the holes in the lift arms are upward. See Figure 11a. (The bearings will be fastened to the frame, but for easier assembly do this after the leveling bar is installed as in step #9.) BOLT, Figure 11a 3/4”...
Page 21
NOTE: Dual Rockshafts are used on all machines set up with 15” spacing. Tandems are used on machines with 24” and 30” spacing. Tandems for machines with 24” spacing have the inner wheels toward the front of the machine. Tandems for machines with 30” spacing the the inner wheels toward the rear of the machine to provide more clearance near the shanks.

INITIAL SETTING RECOMMENDATIONS Additional parts identification and location can be obtained from reviewing parts catalog. Attach the implement to a tractor with approximately 40 Hp. per shank. Refer to operating instructions concern- ing optional safety chain on page 8. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS Lift disc gangs into raised position with use of hydraulics.
TROUBLE SHOOTING Shanks not penetrating deep enough POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY Depth stop control limiting depth. Turn depth control adjust arm clockwise. Disk gangs limiting depth. Raise disk gangs up. Implement not level. Level unit with adjustable drawbar brace. Covering too mush residue Front gang pitch set too aggressive.
Page 57
Depression being left behind center of unit POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY Front disc gang is throwing too much soil out. Decrease working depth and or pitch of front disc gang. Rear disc gang is not throwing enough soil in. Increase working depth and or pitch of rear disc gang.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT Flat Bar Hitch (Optional) - 9J654 This flat bar hitch will replace the standard flip-flop hitch. This hitch has a 1 13/16" dia. hole in it to accommodate those tractors which have a pin diameter larger than the 1 9/16" dia. hole in the standard hitch.
