6230 Disc Frame And Hitch Assembly - Landoll 6230 Series Operator's Manual

3-1 6230 DISC FRAME AND HITCH ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT
READ ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AT THE
FRONT OF THE SECTION BEFORE ATTEMPT-
ING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PROCE-
DURES.
3-1.1 Place the center frame assembly on
stands approximately 36" high. The assembly
area should be a large level area of sufficient
size to accommodate the disc when fully as-
sembled.
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT HEAVY
PARTS (SUCH AS THE FRAME, DISC
GANGS, ROCK SHAFT, AND PULL
HITCH) MANUALLY. USE A HOIST OR
A FORK LIFT TO MOVE THESE PARTS
INTO POSITION.
3-1.2 Attach the hitch weldment to the front of
the center frame using 1-1/8-7 x 7-1/2 hex
head cap screws, machine bushings, hitch
mounting plates, and hex lock nuts (See Fig-
ure 3-1). Machine bushings are provided to
remove the slack on each side of the ball
joints and center the hitch. Use bushings as
required.
Note: The hitch may be assembled in the up-
per or lower position depending on matching
tractor drawbar height. See Section 4-12 for
proper adjustment.
3-1.3 Move the tongue jack to the forward
mounting tube and rotate to parking position
to support the front of the hitch.
3-1.4 Insert a 3/4-10 x 7 hex head cap screw
into the hose holder tube on the right side of
the hitch from the bottom side so the threads
point upward. Hold in place with a 3/4 pre-
vailing torque flange nut with the flange
pointing upward as well. Do not tighten this
cap screw, so the hose holder bracket may
pivot freely in this joint.
3-1.5 Slide the hose holder bracket over the
screw and secure with another 3/4 prevailing
torque flange nut.
3-1.6 Install a 3/8-16 x 3-1/2 all-thread screw
in the front of the hose holder bracket and
secure with a 3/8-16 hex nut.
3-1.7 Slide the hose holder clamp over the
3/8" screw and loosely start the wing nut on
top of the clamp. Hydraulic hoses will be
routed through the clamp after assembly.
Note: The clamp has two sides, so that ex-
tend hoses can be located on one side and
retract hoses can be located on the other
side for reference.
