Page 11: Operation
OPERATION Warning! Do not unhitch from tractor while in the raised position. Unhitching the machine in a raised position could cause the front of the machine and the hitch to spring upward possibly injuring the operator and bystanders. Always store the machine in the lowered position (shovels resting on the ground). - Page 12 OPERATION ATTACHING THE IMPLEMENT Warning! Be sure no one is between the tractor and the implement while the tractor is being positioned during the hitching operation. • Carefully back your tractor into place and attach the clevis to the drawbar. Use the correct size drawpin for the clevis.
- Page 13 OPERATION GENERAL OPERATION INFORMATION • Before raising or lowering the machine or operating the wing fold mechanism be certain the hydraulic system is charged with hydraulic oil. (Refer to the “Charging the Hydraulic System” section of this manual. • Check the hydraulic oil level of the tractor. Add oil as required.

- Page 18 OPERATION Spring Cushioned Disc Gangs The disc gangs should not operate deeper than 3" to 4" and no deeper than necessary for desired residue cutting. In high residue conditions the discs should only cut the residue. In coulter chiseled ground the discs should be adjusted to run just above the bottom of the furrows between the ridges.

OPERATION FIELD OPERATION OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS Treader Gangs The teeth on the treader gangs are curved. The treader will function properly only if the treader gangs are rotating in the correct direction in relationship to the direction of pull. - Page 20 OPERATION Treader Gangs The treader gangs can be set to run at various angles ( 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 degrees). As the angle increases so does the aggressiveness of the treader. In wet conditions, reduce the angle to reduce plugging. •...
- Page 21 OPERATION Rolling Reels The rolling reels main function is to level the soil and break clods. The reels will bring clods and residue to the surface. Rolling reel depth should not exceed 3" - 4". Do not operate deeper than the shanks. Depth of operation is adjusted by changing the downward force of the reels.
- Page 22 OPERATION 5 Bar and 8 Bar Spike Tooth Harrows The tooth angle is preset and cannot be changed. However, the front bar angle can be changed by reversing the tow lugs (C). Harrow adjustments are made by adjusting the length of the tow chains (A). For maximum leveling and clod breaking, adjust the tow chains to allow the entire harrow to pull level with the ground.

HYDRAULICS - CHARGING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HYDRAULICS Warning! Be certain the hydraulic system is fully charged with oil before use. Air in the hydraulic system can result in uncontrolled movement of the wings during raising and lowering operations Warning! Lower the machine to the ground, shut off hydraulic supply and relieve all hydraulic pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. - Page 29 HYDRAULICS - CHARGING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM Purging Rephasing Series (Slave) System Each of these series cylinders are equipped with a bypass port located at the rod end of the cylinder. This port allows air to be purged from the system thus rephasing the cylinder.
- Page 30 HYDRAULICS - CHARGING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM Charging the Hydraulic System Prior to using or transporting the implement for the first time it is necessary to charge the hydraulic lines and cylinders with approximately 2 to 5 gallons of hydraulic oil. Charging a new unit which has not been Recharging the hydraulic system of a previously charged with hydraulic oil.

HYDRAULICS TIGHTENING STRAIGHT THREAD FITTINGS The straight thread hydraulic fittings require precise tightening. Over-tightening of the hydraulic fittings will ruin the sealing surfaces and will require the replacement of the damaged parts. Do not use any teflon tape or thread sealant on any JIC fittings or in o-ring port cylinders. Proper initial tightening procedure depends on the mating parts being connected. -
