SUBSOILER HITCHING TO TRACTOR
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or machine
damage when an implement is hitched, place the
tractor transmission in the park position and check
for interference along the hitch.
Do not stand between the tractor and implement.
The sides of the tractor and implement are the only
access for connecting and disconnecting the hitch
points.
Slowly back the tractor into the Subsoiler, making
sure that the hitch points are aligned.
2. Place the transmission in park position.
3. Shut off the tractor engine.
4. Remove the pins from the Subsoiler side and
center hitches.
5. Align the tractor lift arms with the side hitches and
install the bolts.
6. Hitch the third point arm to the hitch plates and
install the bolt.
7. Start the tractor engine.
8. Slowly move the swing axle position control lever
to raise the implement. Check that there is no
difference.
9. Lower the implement to ground level, place the
transmission in park position and proceed to level
the Subsoiler by adjusting both lift arms to the same
length.
10. Finally adjust the third point arm (lengthen or
shorten) as required to achieve longitudinal leveling
of the Subsoiler.
OPERATION
TRANSPORTING SUBSOIL SAFELY
transported at a speed greater than 10 mph, in
order to prevent accidents.
Higher speeds may result in loss of control of the
tractor if any of the outside rudders contact any
uneven ground surface.
Always drive at a speed that allows you to have
adequate steering and brake control.
When transporting the Subsoiler on a road or
highway at night or during the day, use lights and
devices for adequate warning to operators of other
vehicles. In this regard, check your local govern-
ment regulations for proper use. A machine that is
not properly illuminated could cause an accident,
which could result in serious injury or death to you
or others.
1. To obtain more lift from the Underlayment when
transporting, shorten the lift joints and center arm to
their minimum length, or hook the lift arms into the
lower holes in the hitch plates.
2. Place in transport position (upward) the rudders.
