Appendix B - Assembly and Setup
Before You Start
Read and understand the operator’s manual for your drill.
A basic understanding of how the drill works will aid in
the assembly and setup of your drill.
Before attempting to assemble the drill use the following
as a check list. Having all the needed parts and
equipment readily at hand will speed up your assembly
task and will make the job as safe as possible.
Check for all major frame components.
Check for fasteners and pins that were shipped with
the drill.
NOTE:
All hardware coming from the factory has been
installed in the location where it will be used. If a part
or fastener is temporarily removed for assembly
reasons, remember where it goes. Keep the parts
separated.
If a pin, bolt or other part has been removed and you
are unsure where it is used, use the parts manual to
identify it. Be sure the part gets used in the correct
location.By double checking while you assemble,
you will lessen the chance of using a bolt incorrectly
that may be needed later.
Have a forklift or loader along with chains and safety
stands that are sized for the job ready for the
assembly task.
Have a tractor with remote hydraulics ready to attach
to the tongue. The tongue must be anchored to a
large enough tractor to overcome the negative
tongue weight that will be present when the boxes
are attached to the frame. The hydraulics will aid in
raising and lowering the drill to align pins and bolts
during assembly.
Negative Tongue Weight Hazard:
Be familiar with the term NEGATIVE TONGUE WEIGHT. Be
aware of the special precautions you should take when
working with an implement that can develop Negative Tongue
Weight.
Have a minimum of two people on hand while
assembling the drill.
Drill Assembly
Refer to Figure 48 on page 71.
1.
Read and understand the previous section titled:
Before You Start.
2.
Read “
before assembling drill.
3.
Set the tongue (1) approximately 21 inches off the
ground in a horizontal position with stable blocking
for support.
4.
Raise the mainframe (2) up, keeping the side
members horizontal. Position the mainframe over the
tongue and lower into position.
5.
Secure tongue to main frame with six 1 x 2
1
/
2
inch
long bolts (3), lock washers and nuts.
6.
Attach the tongue screw jack (4) in a vertical position
and remove blocking so the unit is on the ground.
7.
Remove the safety wires from each hydraulic
cylinder rod clevis between the tires.
8.
Slide the hydraulic hoses from the mainframe
through the tongue and pull them out at the tractor
end. Attach tractor male couplers to the hydraulic
hoses.
9.
Hook tractor up to the tongue and plug hydraulic
connectors into the tractor.
a.
With tractor running at an idle speed charge the
drill hydraulic system. Be sure tractor has plenty
of hydraulic fluid. (This system requires
approximately 3.3 gallons.)
b.
When the drill frame is raised for the first time,
one lift cylinder will extend fully before the other
one begins to move.
c.
Once the first cylinder is fully extended continue
to hold the tractor valve in the same position for
at least 60 seconds after the second lift cylinder
has fully extended.
The reason for the unevenness of raising for the
first time is because the drill is equipped with
master and slave rephasing cylinders.
d.
Raise and lower the frame several times to be
sure there is no binding or problems with your lift
system. Refer to “
page 14, for additional information.
10. Attach the gauge-wheel turnbuckle (5) to the
gauge-wheel arm (6) on each drill and then mount
the wheel (7) and tire.
