Preparation and Setup
This section helps you prepare your tractor and Turbo
Max for use, and covers tasks that need to be done
seasonally, or when the tractor/Turbo Max configuration
changes.
Before using the Turbo Max in the field, you must hitch it
to a suitable tractor, inspect systems and level the Turbo
Max. Before using the Turbo Max for the first time, and
periodically thereafter, certain adjustments and
calibrations are required.
Prior to Going to the Field Checklist
Complete this checklist before routine setup:

Read and understand “ Important Safety
Information ” on page 1.
 Check that all working parts are moving freely, bolts
are tight, and cotter pins are spread.
 Make sure your tractor horsepower matches the
implement you are pulling. This is important so the
implement can do the best possible job.
 Clean all hydraulic couplings and connect to tractor,
see “ Hydraulic Hose Hookup ” on page 13.
 If machine is folded, remove the transport pins from
wing stops and open wing lock valve. (DO NOT
remove pins if the wing is leaning against the pins or
putting pressure on the pins. Use the hydraulics to
pull the wings in completely before unpinning them.)
Once the pins are removed, slowly unfold the unit.
Make sure no one is under the wings during the
unfolding process.
 Check again for hydraulic leaks and watch that
hoses do not get pinched in hinges, wing stops, etc.
 After the machine is completely unfolded, raise and
lower the Turbo Max several times to purge air from
the hydraulic system. Again check for hydraulic leaks
and tighten or replace if necessary.
 Check safety chain hookup. Make sure all warning
lights are hooked up and functioning correctly.

Check that all grease fittings are in place and
lubricated. See “ Lubrication ” on page 27. The hubs
will come pre-greased and will not need greased at
this time.
 Check that all safety decals and reflectors are
correctly located and legible. Replace if damaged.
See “ Safety Decals ” on page 5.

Inflate tires to pressure recommended and tighten
wheel bolts as specified. See “ Tire Inflation Chart ”
on page 28.
 Put transport locks in place, and refold the machine
slowly. Put wing stop pins in place and close wing
lock valve. Always use the transport pins when
moving from field to field. You are now ready to go to
the field.
