SECTION 5 – TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION
1. Not tilling level. A. Depth control cylinders out
of phase. Rephase cylinders. See page 3-6.
B. Eyebolts not adjusted prop-
erly. Adjust with wrenches provided.
See Pages 3-8 and 3-9.
C. Gauge wheels not adjusted
properly. (32’-40’) Adjust gauge wheels so they ride
freely on top of the ground.
D. Hard Soils conditions. Use different tillage tool or perform
multiple passes, starting at less
depth.
2. Not pulling straight. A. Not tilling level. See “Not tilling level” above.
3. Inconsistent tillage
depth. A. Excessive travel speed. Reduce speed.
B. Hard soil conditions. Use different tillage tool or perform
multiple passes, starting at less
depth.
C. Deep furrows. Travel across fi eld furrows at an
angle.
4. Plugging. A. Working in extremely heavy
trash. If equipped with mounted harrows,
reduce aggressiveness of harrows
or lock harrows in the up position.
B. Tillage tool (spike, sweep,
etc.) causing plugging. Change type of tool. Make sure
twisted spikes are not throwing
soil towards wheels.
5. Poor penetration. A. Machine not running level
front to back. Adjust eyebolts on front center
wheel assembly.
B. Gauge wheels adjusted
improperly. Adjust gauge wheels so they ride
freely on top of the ground.
C. Hard soil conditions. Use different tillage tool.
6. Depth control cylinders
not working properly. A. Depth control cylinders out
of phase. Rephase cylinders by fully extend-
ing and holding tractor remote
lever for 30 seconds.
B. Hydraulic hoses not con-
nected properly or faulty hyd.
coupler. Reconnect hydraulic hoses or
replace hydraulic coupler.
C. Tractor hydraulics not set
properly. Adjust tractor hydraulic fl ow rate to
maximum on Depth Control Cir-
cuit.
7. Wing lift cylinders move
too fast. (32’-40’) A. One way restrictor(s) not
installed properly. Check restrictor(s) (PN 8J7116).
Arrow must point towards cylinder.
B. Tractor hydraulics not set
properly. Reduce fl ow rate to Wing Lift Cyl-
inder Circuit.
