The implement can be adjusted so the frame is level front to rear for transport and when it is raised out of
the ground to turn. This is accomplished by adjusting nuts (C) on eyebolt (A). In the lowered Work
Position, the eyebolt (A) slides out of tube (B). This allows the hitch/bridle assembly to “float” while
discing. When the implement is raised to Transport Position, the eyebolt (A) slides into tube (B) until the
tube contacts the nuts (C). At this point the hitch/bridle assembly no longer “floats” and becomes fixed
relative to the frame.
If the frame is lower at the front in the Transport Position: Lower the disc to the work position to take
pressure off the nuts (C). Turned the nuts clockwise (viewed from front of disc). Raise the disc back to
transport position and check for level. Repeat if necessary and lock the nuts together.
If the frame is higher at the front in the Transport Position: Lower the disc to the work position to take
pressure off the nuts (C). Turn the nuts counterclockwise (viewed from front of disc). Raise the disc back
to transport position and check for level. Repeat if necessary and lock the nuts together.
CAUTION:
In the Work Position, the tube (B) must not be in contact with the nuts (C). The leveling
linkage may be damaged if the hitch/bridle assembly cannot “float” in the Work Position.
Install the Transport Stay
Raise the disc to its maximum height by completely
extending the hydraulic cylinder. Install the transport stay
over the hydraulic cylinder rod with the plated end against
the head gland of the cylinder. Install the pins provided.
Switch the tractor off and move the hydraulic lever back
and forth, releasing the pressure in the system and
allowing the weight of the disc to be taken up by the
transport stay.
IMPORTANT: Never transport the disc without the
transport stay installed on the hydraulic cylinder.
Transport Safety
□ Never allow riders on the tractor or disc. Serious injury or death can result from falling in the path of
the disc while in operation or transport.
□ Observe laws and regulations while transporting disc. Never transport disc at speeds greater than 20
mph (32 km/h). Reduce speed and exercise caution on turns, bridges, rough roads, steep grades and
other adverse conditions.
□ Install all locking devices before transporting disc. Without these devices installed, the disc could fall
during transport and cause injury or death to the operator or bystanders and/or damage to the disc,
tractor and property.
□ Always used safety chains to secure the disc to the tractor during transport. Provide only enough
slack in chain to permit turning. A safety chain will help control drawn equipment should it accidentally
separate from the drawbar.
