Final Checklist General Operation and In-Field
Adjustments
When operating the Terra Max with the blades running at an
angle, it is generally unnecessary to operate with hydraulic
down pressure to the wings. Only in very hard ground will down
pressure be needed. If down pressure is needed, see “ Hydraulic
Down Pressure ” on page 26 for initial setup. If no down
pressure is needed, set the fold hydraulic system to the
"FLOAT" position at this time.
When operating the blades in the straight position, down
pressure is necessary, usually between 300 and 400 psi.

NOTE: Set Tractor Valve Properly
Never leave tractor valve centered when unfolded with
machine in motion. You must have the tractor fold
hydraulic lever in continuous downward flow or
“FLOAT” position before the wings can flex over terrain
in the raised or lower lift position.

NOTE: Angle Rows
In a first time operation, it is generally best to operate the
unit at a slight angle to the rows. If the unit is used as a
secondary pass it is recommended to operate the unit at a
slight angle to the previous tillage pass. This will improve
trash flow and increase the leveling capability.
