OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
10. Regularly inspect the safety chain for worn,
stretched, or broken links and ends. Replace the
safety chain if it is damaged or deformed in any way.
11. Check that tires are of proper size, load rating, and
inflated to manufacture specifications before
transporting. Transporting equipment on under
inflated tires and faster than rated speeds will
damage the implement tires. Check wheel lug bolts
to insure tightness.
12. Know the transport heights and widths of the unit
before transporting. Attachments such as leveling
harrows can increase the transport dimensions of the
implement. Use caution when transporting near
bridges and power lines.

Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
13. Raise the unit to full transport height, and fold the
implement wing sections.
14. Install transport locks and pins on both lift and fold
systems. Do not depend solely on implement
hydraulics for transport

WARNING
See Figure 4-7.
15. Transport during daylight hours whenever possible.
Always use flashing warning lights, except where
such use is prohibited by law. Make sure lights,
reflectors and SMV emblem are clearly visible and
operating. Remove any obstructions such as dirt,
mud, stalks or residue that restricts view before
transporting.
LED Light Operation
1. Attach the seven-pin plug to the socket at the rear of
the tractor. The socket must be in good working
order, and free of dirt, grease, and corrosion. The
connection must be clean with good contact for the
LED light to function properly. Fully insert the plug
into the connector and make sure the latch securely
hooks the plug.
2. Allow enough cable above the hitch to allow for
turning. Secure or tie up any excess cable to prevent
it from catching on the hitch or stalks.
3. Verify proper light function before transporting.
Replace or repair any component that is damaged or
not functioning. Make sure all lighting is clean and
clearly visible. Follow local regulations regarding
lighting & marking.
General Operation
1. The horsepower requirements are typically 8-10 PTO
horsepower per foot of cut for the Finisholl.This will
vary widely due to speed, depth, moisture, residue,
and types of soils. Local dealers can help in making
recommendations for your areas.
2. Operating speed is typically 6-8 mph. Excessive
speed can cause the unit to bounce and create
uneven working depths and ridging.
3. Lift wheels must always be in contact with the ground
and carrying some implement weight. Never operate
unit with the tires off the ground.
4. Avoid turning sharply with the Finisholl in the ground.
This can put excessive side load on the disc gangs,
shanks, harrow, and hitch. Always raise the Finisholl
completely when making turns or backing to prevent
shank or harrow damage. Reduce speed at field
ends, and raise Finisholl before making turns.
Leveling (Side to Side)
1. Leveling the Finisholl side-to-side involves leveling
the wing frames to the center frame. The unit should
be level side-to-side when operating in the field.
