SECTION 4 – SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS — SUPERWEEDER
HYDRAULIC DEPTH CONTROL
The Superweeder Hydraulic Depth Control System requires
one hydraulic cylinder per section to rotate S-tines up or down.
Mount these cylinders on special lift arms as shown in figure
15. Assemble hose lines as shown in figure 22 and pages 4-
12 and 4-13.
Each cylinder requires two hoses leading to the manifold
mounted on the hitch crossmember. Assemble tractor hose
lines and route with lift cylinder lines along the hitch securing
in place with nylon ties provided.
HYDRAULIC HOSE CLAMPS
Use the hose mounting brackets provided to secure the 1/4”
hydraulic lines for the S-tine lift cylinders to the machine draw-
bar (See Fig. 22).
Using these brackets, the 1/4” hydraulic lines can be neatly
and securely fastened to the Superweeder drawbar. Remem-
ber to leave slack in the lines at knuckle locations between
center and wing sections.
NOTE: If Superweeder is equipped with a Summers Agri-
Sprayer, the hose clamp brackets can be attached to the
machine drawbar using the same 3/8” U-bolts, used to
secure the nozzle mounting brackets. Simply place the
hose clamp bracket on top of the nozzle mounting
bracket and secure with the same 3/8” U-bolt. With this
method, extra 3/8” U-bolts will be left over (See Fig. 22).
