2512 Hydraulic Auto Re-Set Shank Clamp
1. DO NOT hook the hydraulics up to the tractor at this
point!!!
2. With the hydraulics unhooked, pull the red lever on
the ball valve forward. This will expose the pressure
gauge to the system pressure w/o any chance of the
pressure bleeding down into the tractor. If the
pressure reads approximately 2000 psi (1900 on the
low side to 2200 on the high side is acceptable) you
are ready to go. It can change some with ambient
temperature changes.
3. If the pressure is in the acceptable range, move the
red, ball valve lever back into the upright, or "off"
position. Secure the hydraulic hose by plugging them
into the tractor to keep them out of harm's way, or
secure them to the ripper in an alternative fashion.
4. If the pressure is not in the 1900 to 2200 range, it will
need to be adjusted:
a. With the ball valve "OFF" (handle upright) plug
the hydraulic tips into the tractor.
b. Engage the tractor hydraulic circuit, reduced flow
is recommended, (20% of max flow).
c. If the pressure gauge goes to 3000 psi (or there
about) with the circuit running continuously and
holds, reverse the circuit flow.
d. The pressure should hover in the 2000 to 2200
psi range.
e. If necessary, adjust the pressure reduction and
relieving valve. Clockwise (in) increases the
pressure. Counter-clockwise (out) decreases the
pressure.
f.
When the pressure gauge hovers in the 2000 to
2200 range with the circuit running
continuously, pull the red, ball valve lever
forward. The pressure gauge will momentarily
reflect the system pressure and then equalize at
2000 to 2200 psi.
g. Shut the ball valve "OFF" by returning the red
lever to the upright position.
h. Shut the tractor hydraulic circuit "OFF".
i.
Once the system pressure is set up to the 1900 to
2200 psi range the tractor circuit should remain
"OFF" and the ball valve lever in the "OFF"
position.
j.
When operating the ripper, the ball valve red lever
must be in the upright position, or "OFF".

Quick Start Guides
a. If the top of the gauge wheel is even with the top
of the frame the shanks are set to be approximate
20" deep (when the shanks are in the lowest
clamp holes).
b. For shallower depths lay a straight edge across
the top of the frame and measure to the top of the
gauge wheel tire. For example, if the top of the tire
is four (4) inches below the top of the frame, then
the points would be set for (20" minus 4") 16"
deep etc.
c. Keep the gauge wheels set evenly from side to
side.
