TRACTOR PREPARATION

The Landoll 876 Wing Series Tilloll 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 Tilloll is equipped with
the clevis option, this should be removed. The cle-
vis option is only for transport use. Before attach-
ing the Tilloll, prepare the tractor as follows:

4-2 TILLOLL PREPARATION

4-2.1 Prior to operating the 876 Wing Series
Tilloll, inspect it thoroughly for good operat-
ing 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. In-
flate all tires equally to avoid side draft. Fol-
low 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 opera-
tor's manual.
4-1.2 Lock the tractor drawbar in the center
position.
4-1.3 Install front end weights as needed on
the tractor to maintain stability.
4-2.5 Check disc scrapers for proper adjust-
ment to the disc blade. (See Figure 4-1). To
adjust the pressure of the disc gang scrap-
ers, loosen the u-bolts that clamp the assem-
bly to the disc gang and slide the scraper as-
sembly into the disc blades. Only enough
pressure is required to keep the disc blades
clean. The scraper blades are reversible to
allow extended use before replacement is re-
quired.
4-2.6 Lubricate the machine as described in
Section 4-13 (See Figure 4-5).
