CUSTOMER OPERATION
TRACTOR PREPARATION:
Before operating the implement, refer to the tractor’s Owner’s Manual for information
concerning safe methods of operation, hydraulics, hitch adjustment, tire inflation, wheel
adjustments, and tractor weights.
Please check the tractor’s brakes and warning lights in order to make sure they are in proper
working order. Please check the tractor hydraulics oil reservoir and add oil as needed.
FRONT END WEIGHTS:
Use front-end weights as needed to provide effective steering control and front-end stability.
See your tractor’s Owner’s Manual for recommendations on ballasting procedures.
HORSEPOWER REQUIREMENTS:
The minimum power requirement for this unit is 200HP, and may increase with conditions.
Select a tractor with sufficient power to operate and lift this implement.

Sway blocks should be used and adjusted to allow movement in operating position. This allows

Set tractor wheels so they are equally spaced from the center of the tractor. When using in row

Owner’s Manual for correct tire inflation pressure.

Remove or move the drawbar to one side to prevent driveline damage.
