2. To level the unit, verify that all tires are properly
inflated. With the implement unfolded, raise the unit
to fully extend the lift cylinders. Continue to hold the
tractor lever 30-60 seconds to insure that the
cylinders are fully extended and the rephasing lift
system has been purged of air. Lower the implement
until the sweeps are approximately 1" off the ground.
On the center frame, lay a straight-edge across the
top of the frame, and measure the distance from the
walking tandem spindle to the top side of the frame of
the walking tandems
Figure 4-8: Leveling Center Frame from Side to Side
3. Measure the same distance on the wing frame(s).
The wing frames are generally set the same height
as the center frame. Adjust the cylinder anchor at the
base end of each wing frame lift cylinder to set the
wing frame height. An adjusting wrench is provided
on the center frame to make this adjustment. It may
be necessary to lower the Finisholl to the ground and
relieve weight on the lift cylinder anchors to make
this adjustment. If required, fully raise the implement,
lower to just above the ground (approximately 1"),
and re-verify measurements. Repeat as necessary
unit the center and wing frame heights are the same.
Securely tighten the lift cylinder anchor adjusting
nuts when complete.
See Figure
4-8.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Leveling (Front-to-Rear)
1. The Finisholl hitch is fully adjustable for height so the
implement may be set to operate level from
front-to-rear. This will insure the sweeps run level,
and have an even working depth across the
implement. Height may be adjusted for various
tractor drawbar heights, operating depth,
attachments, etc.
2. To adjust the Finisholl hitch height, loosen the
locking jam nuts on each end of the adjustable radius
rod located above the hitch
Wrenches are stored on the center frame and radius
rod to make this adjustment. Extend or retract the
radius rod to obtain the desired hitch height.
Figure 4-9: Radius Rod Adjustment
NOTE
It may be easier to adjust the radius rod when the
unit is lowered to the ground to remove pressure
from the radius rod. Retighten the locking jam nuts
when finished.
3. Disc gang depth will also effect the front-to-rear level
of the implement. Level the unit for the desired
discing depth. Changes to discing depth will require
the unit to be releveled front-to-rear.
Depth Stop Adjustment
The overall operating depth of the Finisholl is controlled
by a single-point depth stop. The stop is located at the
center front of the machine.
See Figure
4-9.
