4-1 TRACTOR PREPARATION
The SS7600 Series Soil Saver is designed to
be pulled by tractor equipped with a double lip or
clevis type hitch. If your tractor is not equipped as
such, you need to purchase the hitch from your lo-
cal tractor dealer. If your Soil Saver is equipped
with the clevis option, this should be removed. The
clevis option is only for transport use. Before at-
taching the Soil Saver, prepare the tractor as fol-
lows:
4-1.1 Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add
ballast according to the tractor operator’s
manual.
4-1.2 Lock the tractor drawbar in the center posi-
tion.
4-2 SOIL SAVER PREPARATION
4-2.1 Prior to operating the SS7600 Series Soil
Saver, inspect it thoroughly for good operat-
ing condition.
4-2.2 Replace worn or missing parts.
4-2.3 When the machine is new, check the bolt
tightness after a few hours of operation.
Tighten any loose nuts or bolts. Check the
gauge wheel lug bolts daily.
4-2.4 Check the gauge wheel tire inflation. Inflate
all tires equally to avoid side draft. Follow the
tire manufacturer’s recommended pressures
listed on the sidewall of the tires.
4-2.5 Check disc scrapers for proper clearance
to the disc blade. See Figure 4-1.
a. Loosen U-bolts. Slide scraper assembly to
adjust clearance to 1/8" to 1/4".
IMPORTANT
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, IT MAY BE
BENEFICIAL TO SET SCRAPERS AS MUCH AS
1" AWAY FROM THE DISCS.
4-2.6 Lubricate the machine as shown in Sec-
tion 4-6 (See Figure 4-4) .
4-3 ATTACHING TO THE TRACTOR
4-3.1 Align the tractor drawbar with the machine.
Raise or lower the Soil Saver ring hitch, as
needed, using the swivel jack. Attach the unit
with proper size hitch pin.
4-3.2 Clean all hydraulic couplings and attach to
the tractor. When properly attached, the hy-
draulic control lever should cause the Soil
Saver to:
a. Lower to the ground when the control arm is
moved forward or downward, and
b. Raise when the control arm is moved back-
ward or upward.
4-3.3 Fully extend the hydraulic gauge wheel cyl-
inders, and place the cylinder lockouts in the
transport lock position over the cylinder rods.
Secure the lockouts with the lockout pins.
