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 removed. The clevis option is only for transport
use. Before attaching the Weatherproofer, prepare the
tractor as follows:
1. Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast
according to the tractor operator's manual.
2. Lock the tractor drawbar in the center position.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Model 2210 Series
Weatherproofer Preparation
1. Prior to operating the Model 2210 Series
Weatherproofer, inspect it thoroughly for good
operating condition.
2. Replace worn or missing parts.
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. 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.
When adjusting disc scraper, avoid bodily
contact with disc blades. Scrapers must be
properly adjusted to prevent damage to machine.
5. Check disc scrapers for proper pressure and contact
against the disc blade in normal conditions (See
Figure 4-2.) Loosen u-bolt A as shown in Figure 4-2
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.
6. Lubricate the machine as shown in "Lubrication"
on page 4-6 (See Figure 4-1.)
