  • Page 5: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION To obtain maximum benefits from the BRILLION FIELD CULTIVATOR, please study this manual care- fully before starting assembly or operation. A special section, “Assembly Instructions”, is included. If items in this manual are not understood, contact your local Brillion dealer.

  • Page 6: Safety Suggestions

    SAFETY SUGGESTIONS Federal law requires you to explain the safety and operating instructions furnished with this machine to all employees before they are allowed to operate the machine. These must be repeated to the employees at the beginning of each season. Be sure to observe and follow the instructions for the safety of anyone operating or near the machine.
  • Page 7 DANGER FALLING WINGS CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. STAND CLEAR WHEN WINGS ARE BEING RAISED OR LOWERED. 3J675 The wings of the HFC Cultivator must not be raised by any other method than using properly bled hydraulic cylinders provided with the machine. If the wings have been raised by another method, and the cylinders are not filled with oil, the unfolding sequence becomes extremely dangerous.

  • Page 8: Safety Warning Signs

    SAFETY WARNING SIGNS The “WARNING” signs and their locations illustrated on the following two pages are placed on the ma- chine to warn of hazards. “The warnings found on the signs are for your own personal safety and that of those around you.” OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS! There are three levels of hazard intensity that appear with the safety alert symbol on safety decals: DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION.

  • Page 11: Pre-Operating Checks

    PRE-OPERATING CHECKS Hydraulic cylinders Before raising or lowering the wings, be sure that the wing lift cylinders are properly bled (all air is removed from the hydraulic circuit). Improperly bled cylinders will permit the wings to free-fall, possibly causing injury to the operator and damage to the machine.
  • Page 12 Extend the cylinders and hold the control lever in the extend position until there is no motion in any of the cylinders. Check the pin center distances. If they are not all approximately 28 1/4”, retract the cylinders and disconnect the pins from the wheel arms and the cylinder anchors.
  • Page 13 CENTER ROCKSHAFT FIGURE 4 BRACE TURNBUCKLE LINKAGE LEVELING ADJUST CENTER FRAME DRAWBAR If the point to ground distance is not the same in the front as in the rear, level the machine by adjusting the drawbar leveling turnbuckle. Now adjust each wing cylinder depth adjust rod so that the tooth points of each wing section are the same distance from the ground as those on the center section.
  • Page 14 After each adjustment, completely raise the field cultivator, hold the hydraulic control in he extend position, and then lower the machine until the tooth points are just barely off the ground. Note: During the leveling procedure, the front gage wheel is not supporting the frame and the outside front teeth of the cultivator wing may touch the ground first.

  • Page 15: Operating Instructions

    Replace chain if one or more links are broken, stretched, or otherwise damaged or deformed. Keep attaching hardware fastened securely. If bolts are replaced, be sure to use grade 5 or higher. If you have any questions regarding the safety chain call your Brillion dealer. Page 12 4K598 rev3-20-05...

The cylinder anchors are not symmetric and must be mounted with the cylinder mounting lug offset to the REAR of the cultivator.
  • Page 28 ATTACH THE WINGS TO THE CENTER FRAME Adjust the center frame so that it is horizontal. Attach the wing sections as instructed to keep the assembly balanced. Each wing consists of a front half and a rear half. Approximately align the hinge sleeves of the two wing halves and bolt the front halves LOOSELY to the rear halves.
  • Page 29 ATTACH CYLINDERS TO THE CYLINDER ANCHORS 1. Connect the clevis ends of the four 4” x 30” long hydraulic cylinders to the cylinder anchors. (On some machines these cylinders are 3” x 30”.) Position the cylinders with the ports facing the inside of the machine as shown in the drawing below.
  • Page 30 MOUNT THE WING GAGE WHEELS TO EACH WING Do not tighten any hardware until told to do so. 1. If not already mounted, mount (4) 9.5L-15 6-Ply tires to 8” wide rims, then attach them to the walking beams of each wing rockshaft assembly. (This step is not shown in the drawing below. See center rockshaft drawing if needed.) 2.
  • Page 31 The screw anchors and adjust tubes of the wings are assembled in the same manner as on the center frame EXCEPT: 1. The screw anchors are used on opposite sides. 2. A different hole is used when putting the scale on the collar. 3.

  • Page 32: Gage Wheels

    5. Attach a lock using 3/8 x 1 “ capscrew & locknut, and finish by attaching a scale to each of the collars which were placed over the adjust tube. Use two of the self tapping screws found in the cloth bag. Since this screw adjust is located on the wing, this time use the two holes which are nearest the roll pin for attaching the scale.
