Operating the Machine

Preparing To Operate In Field

1. Remove the cylinder transport lock from cylinder and store it in field position. Follow safe procedures in ATTACHING AND DETACHING section.

CAUTION: Keep all persons away from disk when raising or lowering disk.

2. Use tractor SCV lever to raise and lower disk several times.

Set Depth Of Penetration Control

Precise depth control is possible by using wheels on transport assembly to act as depth gauges. Select a level area and lower disk gangs to ground. Determine inches of penetration desired and raise wheels to a height equal to that requirement. Check measurement. Select from hydraulic rod stop assortment the proper combination of stops, that when attached around the rod, will limit rod travel so it bottoms out at that point. After installation of the rod stops, when cylinder is fully retracted, the wheels will raise to the predetermined height, assuring desired disk blade penetration.
