10. Enter tractor cab, operate lever 1 to
rotate the outer wheels 90 degrees.
When the wheels contact the drive
spindle, the hydraulic motor will begin
turning, and the wing will roll out into field
position. If one wing reaches the frame
stop first, the spindle should stop turning,
and the wheel continue to turn until both
wings are in field position.
11. Move Lever 1 the opposite direction to
rotate the wheels to the road position
again.
12. Move lever 2 to lower the rollers to the
ground, and raise the wheels completely
up into field operation position.
13. Observe that the diagonal pulling arms
are fully rotated into the slots on front
corner of both ends of the center section.
14. Observe that the front floating hitch
cylinder has moved to fully retracted
position. The hitch is free to float as the
roller follows ground contours.
15. Set parking brake, place transmission in
neutral, exit the cab.
16. Remove the pin from the floating hitch
tab, and place in the holding socket
provided, place retaining key through end
of pin.
17. 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.

18. Enter the cab, lower the leveling blade if
desired, and begin to smooth and firm
your field to perfection.
19. 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. When
using the leveling blade to move several
inches of earth, 3-4 mph is appropriate,
even less if there are a lot of larger
