18. Observe that the diagonal pulling arms are
fully rotated into the slots on front corner of
both ends of the center section. To get
diagonal arms fully down, rotate steering
wheels on 4WD tractors, perhaps move
slightly forward or backward.
19. Observe that the 2 front floating hitch
cylinders have moved to fully retracted
position. The hitch is free to float as the
rollers follow ground contours.
20. Set parking brake, place transmission in
neutral, exit the cab.
21. Normally the locking pins that hold diagonal
arms in to the slots on front of frame are not
required. The diagonal pulling arms will stay
in the slots during field work. However, if
your tractor hydraulics and field conditions
combine to have the diagonal pulling arm
rise out of the slots while travelling across
the field, now is the time to install the
retaining pins above the diagonal pulling
bar.

22. Enter the cab, and begin to smooth and firm
your field to perfection.
23. Maximum speed selection depends upon
field conditions. Mellow fields with corn root
balls and few 8 inch diameter stones may
rolled at 5-8 mph. If there are a lot of 8 inch
diameter stones,
speeds above 7 mph may
dent the standard .530- .560 inch thick
rollers.
If these are normal conditions and
you wish to travel at higher field speeds,
consider using the thicker .625 inch wall
rollers.
24. On the middle transport weldment we use a
check valve to ensure the wheel stays in
position. The wheel will not creep in or out.
Once the lever is pushed then the tire will
begin to move.
