GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before operating disc, refer to Safety Precautions on pages 2 to 4. Review disc safety items applicable to road transport and field operation of disc.
2. This machine is a primary tillage tool designed to bury crop residue. The following recommendations (paragraphs A to J) will enhance the discs
performance:
(A) When lowering wing to field position, be sure wing lift cylinders are fully extended. After wing tires have hit the ground continue to hold
hydraulic lever. There will be a short pause before cylinders fully extend. If cylinders are not fully extended, the wing will hang on cylinders
and will not flex down.
CAUTION: NEVER STAND BETWEEN THE TRACTOR AND DISC WHEN HITCHING DISC TO THE TRACTOR
UNLESS
ALL TRACTOR CONTROLS
ARE IN NEUTRAL AND THE BRAKE IS SET. THE TRACTOR COULD ROLL BACKWARDS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR PERSON(S) NEARBY.
(B) For best performance, the tractor drawbar should be pinned at centre of tractor.
(C) Ensure disc is level fore and aft and side to side. If
further adjustments are required, see pages 12 and 13.
(D) See Fig. 1. To set discing depth, lower disc into the
ground while moving forward until the disc reaches
desired discing depth. Install the necessary depth control
stops (on center frame lift cylinder) to maintain the
desired cutting depth.
(E)
Do not make sharp turns with the disc in ground. Sharp turns put excess pressure on the gangs and leave uneven ground.
IT IS ADVISABLE TO ALWAYS LIFT MACHINE OUT OF GROUND FOR MAKING SHARP TURNS. EXCESSIVE SIDE THRUST IS APPLIED TO BEARINGS
AND MACHINE IF DISC IS TURNED WHILE IT IS IN THE GROUND.
(F) Tractor ground speed should not excess 6 MPH (9.6 KMH). Reduce speed in rocky conditions to avoid damage to disc gangs and frame.
