PREPARING THE MACHINE Use the Tractor Operator’s Manual Always refer to tractor operator's manual for specific detailed information regarding operation of equipment. Pre-Operation Checklist Efficient and safe operation of the machine requires that each Operator reads and understands operating procedures and all related safety precautions outlined in this section. A pre-operational checklist is provided for the Operator.
AXLES, TIRES, and TRACKS AXLES, TIRES, and TRACKS Setting Axle Width IMPORTANT: Adjust track axles out of shipping width before transporting or application. Set axles to the widest setting possible to match row width. Use only the holes with measurements. See axle width charts.
AXLES, TIRES, and TRACKS Checking Tire Pressure Check tire pressure and inflate as necessary. CAUTION: Avoid loss of vehicle control during transport from failure of overloaded tires which could cause serious injury or death to you or others. Equal pressure in all tires is necessary for even penetration. A low tire will cause deeper penetration on one side than the other.
AXLES, TIRES, and TRACKS Track Use General Guidelines • Before trailering on-road for the first time, precondition tracks. See Track Systems Break- Avoid traveling at high speeds with a new set of tracks and wheels, especially during the • first 50-100 hours. Trash build-up can cause fire from increased friction.
AXLES, TIRES, and TRACKS Track System Break-In Break-In Overview Avoid roading at high speeds with a new set of tracks or wheels, especially during first 50-100 operating hours. Damage to drive lugs and wheels may result. Track systems’ break-in takes place during the first season of use. Correct break-in helps reduce amount of initial drive lug wear.
AXLES, TIRES, and TRACKS Track Wear & Trash Buildup Avoid grease, oil, or other petroleum chemicals on tracks and wheels. Constant exposure to petroleum-based chemicals may damage rubber surfaces. Trash build-up can cause fire from increased friction. Remove trash from trash build-up points (G) between track and applicator frame.
3. Look over mid rollers and idler wheels for visible cracks around the bolt pattern or the rim. If seen, contact your Fast Ag Solutions dealer for the best recommendation of repair or replacement.
AXLES, TIRES, and TRACKS Check Track Alignment 1. Prior to checking track alignment, the implement should be empty and spring tensioning mechanism set properly with no pre-load. 2. Pull the implement on a flat surface for a suitable timeframe allowing the belts to relax and move freely on the undercarriage rollers.
AXLES, TIRES, and TRACKS Track Alignment Procedure 1. Remove the alignment bolt retainer lock plate cap screws (B) and lock plate (C) from the inboard and outboard sides of the undercarriage needing adjustment. 2. Loosen cap screw (D) counterclockwise 1.0-1.5 turns on the side of the undercarriage you want the track to move towards (A represents location between inner idler wheel surface and guide lug).
