The Troubleshooting Guide, shown below, is included to help you quickly locate problems that can hap-
pen using your SS7600 Series Soil Saver. Follow all safety precautions stated in the previous when making
any adjustments to your machine.
PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE:SOLUTION
1. FIELD NOT LEVEL BEHIND SOIL SAVER, RIDGE AT
CENTER OF SWATH
A. FRAME NOT LEVEL FRONT TO REAR: Lower
machine to working depth and drive a short distance. Stop
and check if frame is level. Adjust radius rod as required
to level machine.
B. REAR DISC GANGS AT TOO AGGRESSIVE AN
ANGLE: Adjust rear disc gangs to a lesser angle.
C. REAR DISC GANGS OPERATING TOO DEEP: Retract
hydraulic cylinder to raise rear discs to desired depth and
adjust front disc gang radius rods to set front gangs to
desired depth.
D. REAR DISC GANGS TOO CLOSE TOGETHER:
Loosen u-bolts holding disc gang shanks to 4x4 tube and
slide disc gangs out.
2. FIELD NOT LEVEL, RIDGE AT OUTSIDE OF SWATH A. FRAME NOT LEVEL FRONT TO REAR: Lower
machine to working depth and drive a short distance. Stop
and check if frame is level. Adjust radius rod as required
to level machine.
B. FRONT DISC GANGS AT TOO AGGRESSIVE AN
ANGLE: Adjust front gangs to a lesser angle.
C. FRONT DISC GANGS OPERATING DEEPER THAN
NECESSARY: Adjust front disc gang radius rods so front
discs are at the same depth as rear discs.
D. SPEED TOO FAST, CAUSING FRONT DISCS TO
THROW SOIL BEYOND REACH OF REAR DISCS:
Change to slower gear or change front disc gangs to a
lesser angle.
3. STRIPS OF UNTILLED SOIL NEAR CENTER OF
SWATH
A. FRAME NOT LEVEL FRONT TO REAR: Lower
machine to working depth and drive a short distance. Stop
and check if frame is level. Adjust radius rod as required
to level machine.
B. REAR DISC GANGS OPERATING TO SHALLOW:
Extend hydraulic cylinder to lower all disc gangs and
adjust front disc gang radius rods so front and rear discs
are at approximately the same level.
4. DISC GANGS STOP TURNING AND PLUG A. DISCS SET TOO SHALLOW: Lower disc gangs to cut
5" to 6" deep.
B. SCRAPERS SET TOO TIGHT: Adjust scrapers to 1/8"
to 1/4" clearance to disc blades.
C. DISC BLADES WORN: New blades are 22" diameter.
Replace when necessary.
