Operation
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
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:

Relieve pressure and shut down tractor before
connecting, disconnecting or checking hydraulic lines.
Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS,
to check for leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety
glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient
pressure to penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If
an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance
from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
Perform the following steps before transporting the
Turbo-Max Turbo-Max to the field.

Carefully read “
Important Safety Information
” on
page 1.

Lubricate Turbo-Max as indicated under
“
Lubrication
” on page 18.

Check all tires for proper inflation, “
Tire Inflation
Chart
” on page 19.

Check all bolts, pins, and fasteners. Torque as shown
in “
Torque Values Chart
” on page 23.

Check Turbo-Max 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.
 Transport
Loss of Control Hazard:

Do not tow the turbo max behind another implement on
public roads. Tow the turbo max to the field with a
separate vehicle. The leading implement may not provide
sufficient lateral control of a trailing implement at
highway speeds. The total weight of the train can also
exceed the steering and/or braking capability of the
tractor. The resulting accident could cause serious injury
or death.
Loss of Control Hazard:

Use an adequate towing vehicle. Never tow an implement
that weighs more than 150% of the towing vehicle
(transport vehicle must weigh at least 67% of
implement). Ensure that the towing vehicle is adequate
for the task. Using an inadequate tow vehicle is
extremely unsafe, and can result in loss of control,
serious injury and death.
Braking and Loss of Control Hazard:

Do not exceed 20 mph (30 kph). Slow down on rough
roads.

Transport Steps
Know your implement weight. If tractor capabilities
are marginal, check actual weight of implement at a
scale.
1. Check that implement is securely hitched to a
sufficient tractor (page 8).
2. Always use a locking-style hitch pin sized to
match holes in hitch and draw-bar, and rated for
the load.
3. Verify correct operation of lights.
4. Install transport locks, wing locks and close
wing lock valve (page 10).
5. Check that tires are properly inflated (page 19).
6. Do not exceed 30 kph (20 mph). Comply with
all national, regional and local laws when travel-
ing on public roads.
7. Remember that the implement may be wider
than the towing vehicle. Allow safe clearance.
 Field Operation
This implement is designed to be pulled in the
lowered field position (including wide turns). Lifting
for short distances to clear residue clogs is
acceptable. Lifting for tight turns or reverse moves is
required.
Equipment Damage Risk:

Lift for tight turns and reverse moves. Tight turns can
result in a section moving backward. Never back up with
harrows on the ground. If the inside tire stops or rolls
backward, the turn is tight and requires lift.
Field Set-Up Checklists
Use the following tables to develop a final checklist
for your tractor/Turbo-Max configuration. Additional
or fewer steps may be necessary depending on
tractor features, Turbo-Max options and accessories.
