F-1130-2304
General Operation
1.
The horsepower requirements are typically 40-50
horsepower per shank. This will vary widely due to
speed, depth, moisture, residue and types of soils.
Local dealers can help in making recommendations
for your areas.
2.
Operating speed is typically 4.5-6 mph. Excessive
speed can cause the unit to bounce, uneven depth,
and create undesirable ridges.
3.
Lift wheels must always be in contact with the ground
and carrying some implement weight. Lift wheels are
used to gauge the depth and to control the leveling
feature.
4.
Do not turn with the Weatherproofer in the ground.
This can put excessive side load on the gangs and
hitch. Raise the unit fully when making turns to
prevent gouging and pushing a ridge.
Field Operation
1.
Raise the unit to take the weight off of the transport
locks. Remove the transport locks from the lift
cylinders. Store the transport locks on the light
bracket assemblies

Leveling (Front-to-Rear)
NOTE
The Weatherproofer will have to be field leveled for
optimum performance. Once leveling is complete, it
is normal operating procedure for machine to bias
forward when fully raised allowing additional ground
clearance for rear attachment.
1.
The leveling feature on the Weatherproofer is used to
keep the machine level when raising the unit from a
working position to a transport position. The leveling
feature is also used to level the unit from front-to-rear
to perform a level operation in the field.
2.
The unit should be level from front to rear. This will
reduce horsepower requirements, allow a more
uniform tillage operation, and reduce unnecessary
point wear.
3.
To adjust the leveling feature, loosen 2-12 jam nuts at
each end of the radius rod assembly using the
adjustment wrenches
. To raise the
front of the Weatherproofer, lengthen the radius rod
assembly. To lower the front of the Weatherproofer,
shorten the radius rod assembly. After adjusting,
retighten jam nuts at each end. Adjustments should
be made in small increments.
