Tractor Preparation; Model 2210 Series Weatherproofer Preparation - Landoll 2210 Series Operator's Manual

4-1 TRACTOR PREPARATION

The 2210 Series Weatherproofer is designed
to be pulled by tractor equipped with a double lip
or clevis type hitch. If your tractor is not equipped
as such, you need to purchase the hitch from your
local tractor dealer. If your Weatherproofer is
equipped with the clevis option, this should be re-
moved. The clevis option is only for transport use.
Before attaching the Weatherproofer, prepare the
tractor as follows:

4-2 MODEL 2210 SERIES WEATHERPROOFER PREPARATION

4-2.1 Prior to operating the Model 2210 Series
Weatherproofer, inspect it thoroughly for
good operating condition.
4-2.2 Replace worn or missing parts.
4-2.3 When the machine is new, check the bolt
tightness after a few hours of operation.
Tighten any loose nuts or bolts. Check the
gauge wheel lug bolts daily.
4-2.4 Check the gauge wheel tire inflation. Inflate
all tires equally to avoid side draft. Follow the
tire manufacturer's recommended pressures
listed on the sidewall of the tires.

4-1.1 Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add
ballast according to the tractor operator's
manual.
4-1.2 Lock the tractor drawbar in the center posi-
tion.
CAUTION
WHEN ADJUSTING DISC SCRAPER,
AVOID BODILY CONTACT WITH DISC
BLADES. SCRAPERS MUST BE PROP-
ERLY ADJUSTED TO PREVENT DAM-
AGE TO MACHINE.
4-2.5 Check disc scrapers for proper pressure
and contact against the disc blade in normal
conditions. (See Figure 4-1). Loosen u-bolt
A as shown in Figure 4-1 and slide scraper
until it contacts disc blade lightly. Tighten u-
bolt. For wet soils or in heavy stubble, adjust
scrapers 1/16" to 3/16" away from blade.
This does not clean blade as well, but keeps
residue from pinching between blades and
stopping disc gang rotation.
4-2.6 Lubricate the machine as shown in Para-
graph 4-6 (See Figure 4-2).
