Transporting
Before the soil conditioner is transported, be sure to secure the Jack Assembly in the transport position located on the top of the Storage Extension
Arm.
The Torsion-Flex Soil Conditioner will increase the overall length of the primary tillage tool. Use extreme caution when turning to avoid obstacles.
Reduce ground speed as necessary to maintain control of equipment.
Install hydraulic cylinder transport locks on the Base Unit wheels BEFORE transporting.
Comply with ALL state and local laws governing highway safety and regulations
when moving machinery on public roads. Be sure an SMV emblem is in place and
clearly visible on the rear of the conditioner. Make sure all lights are clearly visible
and working properly BEFORE highway travel. Be sure the amber, red and orange
retroreflective tape on the implement is in place and clearly visible.
The transport speed should not exceed 10 MPH in the field or over rough terrain.
Reduce transport speed when necessary to maintain full control of the implement
at all times.
WARNING
– Before unhooking the soil conditioner, be sure to install the hydraulic cylinder transport locks. Reposition the jack stand on the Storage
Extension Arm to the parked position and lower the jack stand to the ground by turning the handle until weight of the soil conditioner is transferred
to the jack. Keep hands and feet away from the jack stand when lowering.
Remove the Hitch Pin and unhook the safety chains.
WARNING
– Always relieve hydraulic system pressure before disconnecting hoses from tractor or servicing hydraulic system. See the tractor’s oper-
ators manual for proper procedures. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses. Install dust covers over the hose plugs and outlets.
The Torsion-Flex Soil Conditioner is designed to provide an excellent seedbed when used in conjunction with you primary tillage tool. For maximum
performance in normal field conditions, the soil conditioner should be used with the transport wheels in the raised position to allow maximum
transfer of weight to the rolling baskets.
With the wheels in the raised position, adjust the Turn Buckle Adjustment Bar until the wheels are approximately 2” above the ground. This will set
your Torsion-Flex Soil Conditioner at the maximum clearance height during transport.
The Spring Coil-Tine Harrow Bar is designed to improve the soil leveling capabilities of your conditioner. To improve the ground leveling capabilities of
the harrow in heavier soils, pin the harrow bar so the coil-tines are positioned more vertically. In softer soils or to improve field residue flow through
the leveler bar, position the bar with a decreased vertical angle of the tines.
