PROCEDURE TO ADJUST HYDRAULIC CYLINDER ATTACH EYE BOLTS:

Refer to the drawing and photo on next page before adjusting Attachment Eye Bolts. Follow these

steps:

1. Adjust Wing Lift Cylinder Eye Bolts FIRST. Adjust Eye Bolts so Wing Stop and Roller rest on

Center contact areas when Wing Lift Cylinder is fully retracted.

a. If Wing does not contact Center, lower wing, relieve hydraulic pressure and adjust Eye Bolt

towards machine center line.

b. If Wing contacts Center before Wing Lift Cylinder is fully retracted, lower wing, relieve hy-

draulic pressure and adjust Eye Bolt away from machine center line.

c. If Wing Stop and Roller do not contact Center at same time, adjust quantity of 2-1/2” flat

washers (8X0364) on outside Roller Shaft. See page 2-10.

NOTE: Dirt and debris must be cleared from contact area on Center before folding into transport

position. Dirt and debris in this area can prevent wing from folding correctly.

2. Next adjust Center Tilt Cylinder Eye Bolt. Adjust Eye Bolt so Wings contact Transport Rest Cross

Tube when Cylinder is fully retracted. Either Roller Tube or Wing Frame can make contact.

a. If Wings do not contact Cross Tube, lower machine into field position, relieve hydraulic

pressure and adjust Eye Bolt forward.

b. If Wings contact Cross Tube before Center Tilt Cylinder is fully retracted, lower machine

into field position, relieve hydraulic pressure and adjust Eye Bolt rearward.

c. If enough thread is exposed on the hole end of the Eye Bolt, locate 1-1/2” Jam Nut next to

cylinder to provide additional support.

d. If required the Upright can be adjusted towards the front or back OR the Cross Tube can

be adjusted up or down to allow Wings to fold correctly.

IMPORTANT: Hydraulic pressure must be relieved from cylinders before adjusting eyebolts. With

Land Roller in Field Position; shut off tractor, engage parking brake and relieve hydraulic pressure

by cycling remote lever.

IMPORTANT: When Cylinder Attach Eye Bolts are tightened insure that cylinder pins are aligned.

Misaligned cylinder pins will create additional stress on hydraulic cylinders causing premature

failure which can create a potentially hazardous situation.

NOTE: After any machine adjustment, it is very important to follow “STEPS REQUIRED TO FOLD

FROM FIELD TO TRANSPORT POSITION”, page 3-5. In addition to these steps, it is very important

to retract hydraulic cylinders slowly to insure Cylinder Attach Eye Bolts are correctly adjusted and

that hydraulic hoses and wires are not stretched or pinched.
