Operating Instructions
This section covers general operating procedures.
Experience, machine familiarity, and the following
information will lead to efficient operation and good
working habits. Always operate farm machinery with
safety in mind.
Pre-Start Checklist
Perform the following steps before transporting the
LC25/40 Lister / Cultivator to the field.
Lubricate implement as indicated under
“
Check all tires for proper inflation. See
“
Specifications and Capacities LC40
Check all bolts, pins, and fasteners. Torque as
shown in “
Fan Hydraulics (S/N )
” on
page 54.
Check implement for worn or damaged parts. Repair
or replace parts before going to the field.
Check hydraulic hoses, fittings, and cylinders for
leaks. Repair or replace before going to the field.
Perform all beginning-of-season and daily service
items under “
Wing Lock Pins (LC40 only)
Two lock pins
, one each wing, are provided for unusual
situations. Normally, these are not used, and are stored
in upper holes
of the wing weldments.
Machine Damage Risk:
These pins MUST NOT be in the lower lock holes
during
fold or unfold, or machine damage may result. Move the pins
to the storage holes
for folding operations. If never used,
remove them from the implement entirely.
The combination of lister shovel/cultivator deflector
angles, wing weight and hydraulic lock-up (Neutral)
normally suffices to keep the wings level in the field.
To lock the wings at level:
1.
Fully unfold the implement (page 21).
2.
Remove the retaining pin
.
3.
Move the lock pin
to the lower holes
.
4.
Re-secure the retaining pin.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics!
Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before applying
pressure. Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic
lines. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. Fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Use paper or
cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks. Escaping
fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate
the skin causing serious injury. If hydraulic fluid is injected
into the skin or eyes, seek immediate medical assistance from a
physician familiar with this type of injury. Within a few hours
gangrene can start to develop. DO NOT DELAY
