PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION
Coulters float out of the ground during
field operation. Tractor hydraulic valve is not placed
into detent. Make sure that the Work Circuit is in
detent during the entire work cycle.
Reducing / relieving valve pressure is
not set high enough for soil conditions. Adjust the valve pressure up by 100 psi
increments until gauge wheels maintain
constant contact with the ground.
Outer wings drift back during field
operation. Tractor hydraulic valve is not placed
into detent. Make sure that the Work Circuit is in
detent during the field operation.
Wings do not raise or lower evenly. Flow divider is not functioning properly. Check, replace if necessary.
When the wings are horizontal and
the directional valves are not being
used, the wings drift oppositely, one
up, one down. The pilot operated check valves are not
operating properly. Check, replace if necessary.
During the initial unfold with wings
completely folded, the outer wing
cylinders begin to extend immediately. Tractor's hydraulic flow is set too high. Reduce tractor’s flow until wings fold
properly, 4 to 6 GPM.
Sequence valve enabling pressure is
set too low. Adjust the valve pressure by 1/2 turns
(180°) clockwise until outer wings
remain fixed during the initial unfold
stage.
During transport unfold, toolbar does
not stop before toolbar wings achieve
the unfolded, level position. No power to microswitch, solenoid
valve (2) is not enabled. Check to make sure all electrical
connections are good.
Microswitch is improperly adjusted. Adjust microswitch position to enable
solenoid valves at the correct height.
Solenoid valve (2) is not functioning
properly. Check, replace if necessary.
