Once pressure has been relieved, turn the hydraulic shut-
off valve (located on the bottom of the hydraulic tank) to the
OFF position.
After completing the service on the hydraulic system,
install the valve bank cover; then turn the hydraulic shut-off
valve to the ON position before the operating the hydraulic
system.
CAUTION
The hydraulic shut-off valves must be in the ON
position before operating the Transplanter or severe
damage to the pump will result.
ADJUSTING SPADE
For consistent digging and minimal machine stress, the
spades must be properly adjusted. Differing soil types and
conditions will affect the amount and frequency of
adjustments. Always be aware of how the Transplanter
functions normally and what a good root ball looks like. Digs
which consistently fall out of spec are usually a good
indication that adjustments need to be made or worn parts
replaced.
To adjust a spade, use the following procedure.
1. Set the Transplanter in a vertical position and lower the
clam to the ground; then fully raise the spades.
2. Turn off the transmitter and the truck engine. Remove
the ignition key.
WARNING
Do not attempt any service on the Transplanter with
the key in the ignition of the truck. The engine must
be turned off and the key removed prior to servicing.
3. On each side of the spade that is to be adjusted, loosen
the lock nut securing each adjuster bracket.
1. Loosen the four cap screws securing the filter cover on
the top of the hydraulic reservoir.
2. While pressing downward, rotate the cover clockwise and
remove the cover and spring; then remove the filter.
Remove the bypass valve from the top of the old filter.
NOTE: The cover is under spring pressure.
3. Place the bypass valve into one end of the new filter;
then with the bypass valve positioned on the top, place
the new filter into position. Place the spring and cover
into position. Make sure the O-ring is properly positioned
in the groove of the housing.
4. While pressing downward on the cover, rotate the cover
counterclockwise until it is in the proper position beneath
the four cap screws; then tighten the cap screws securely.
RELIEVING HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
Before performing any work on the hydraulic system, all
pressure in the system must be relieved. Place the Transplanter
either in the transport position or firmly support the area being
serviced. Make sure all parts actuated by hydraulic pressure
are supported or otherwise restrained to prevent movement
prior to relieving hydraulic pressure.
Disengage the power take off; then turn off the transmitter
and stop the truck engine. Remove the appropriate valve bank
cover; then using the special 1/2 in. wrench included in the
waterproof canister, rotate the hex shaft of the appropriate
valve to both ON positions. Residual hydraulic pressure may
still be present, so care must be taken. Failure to do so could
result in damage, injury or even death.
