Escaping hydraulic fluid can cause serious
personnel injury. Relieve system pressure before
repairing, adjusting, or disconnecting. Wear
proper hand and eye protection when searching
for leaks. Use cardboard instead of hands (See
Figure 5-2.) Keep all components (cylinders,
hoses, fittings, etc.) in good repair.
1. The hydraulic system will be filled with oil and fully
charged. Carefully hitch the 6510 to the tractor and
connect the hydraulic lift hoses. Check to make sure
the tractor hydraulic reservoir is full of the
manufacturer's recommended oil. Lower and raise
the unit to verify that the system is operating
correctly. Recheck tractor reservoir to make sure it is
within operating limits. With the lift cylinder fully
extended, install the 3 x 16-1/2 transport lockout
(See Figures 5-3.) Storage location for lockout (See
)
Figures 5-4.
2. Always fully extend lift cylinder before removing
transport lockout. Unit can settle during
transportation causing the transport lockout to be
pinched.

WARNING
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Figure 5-4: Stored Transport Locks
General Operation
1. The horsepower requirements are typically 20-30
horsepower per foot of cut. 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 4.5 - 6 mph. Excessive
speed can cause the unit to bounce, uneven depth,
and create a ridge on the outside edges. Too low of
speed may not allow the unit to properly fill in the
center furrow.
3. Do not turn with the 6510 in the ground, this can put
excessive side load on the gangs and hitch. Raise
the unit slightly when making turns to prevent
gouging and pushing a ridge.
Field Operation
1. Raise the unit to take the weight off of the transport
locks. Remove the transport locks from the lift
cylinders Store the transport locks on the retainers
on the top of the frame. (See Figure 5-4.)
