OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT allow others on or near the tractor and the machine when operating
or preparing to operate the machine.
Prepare the machine for transport
1. Extend the transport wheel cylinders completely. These are series cylinders and are de-
signed to raise the machine evenly. The cylinders will rephase or equalize at the end of their
stroke. Simply continue to hold the hydraulic control lever of the tractor in the extend posi-
tion until all cylinders in the system are completely extended. Do this occasionally during
operation at the end of the rows to make sure that the cylinders remain in phase.
2. With the machine in the up or transport position, raise the wings to folded position.
Know the folded height of your field cultivator and any attachments. Be sure
that you are not under any electrical lines or any other obstruction that could
cause injury to the operator or damage to the equipment.
3. Use the transport locks to lock the machine in the transport position.
Maximum road speed is 15 MPH under good conditions. Do not tow the
machine at a speed at which the operator loses control of his vehicle.
Do not tow the cultivator with a vehicle that is lighter than the cultivator.
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to comply with all applicable laws regarding slow
moving vehicle signs, warning lights, reflectors, and safety chains.
Safety Chain
Use of a safety chain is recommended if the machine is towed on a public road or highway. Total
weight of towed machine must not exceed chain capacity as shown on the chain’s identification tag.
A safety chain is included with the cultivator.
Slack in the chain should be only enough to permit turning. Distance from hitch pin to attachment
point or intermediate support should not exceed 9”.
CAUTION
If two or more machines are pulled in tandem, a larger chain may be
required. Chain capacity must be greater than the total weight of towed
implements. A second chain should be used between each implement.
CAUTION
Replace chain if one or more links are broken, stretched, or otherwise
damaged or deformed.
Keep attaching hardware fastened securely.
If bolts are replaced, be sure to use grade 5 or higher.
If you have any questions regarding the safety chain call your Brillion dealer.
