Final Checklist
General Operation and In-Field
Adjustments
When operating the Turbo 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 18 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.
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.
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.
