Summers Superchisel - 3-Section - Manual (Page 77)

SECTION 3 – CHISEL PLOW OPERATION
8. Operation “Tips”
– The 5 solid lift arms on this machine are designed to prevent skewing from side to side.
To avoid damage to lift arms and wheel assemblies, do not take sharp corners with
chisel plow in the ground.
– Floating hitch machines are designed to follow ground contours. The Summers chisel
plow has a short wheel base in field position that allows it to smoothly follow through
ditches and gullies. This machine will also follow deep furrows in the field. The opera-
tor may want to till through deep furrows at an angle to maintain a more uniform tillage
depth.
– Rephase cylinders every hour. If the chisel plow is raised and lowered only a small
amount during operation, cylinders will not remain in phase. Since each section is sup-
ported by individual cylinders, it is important to keep these cylinders in phase in order
to maintain uniform tillage depth (See Page 3-6).
NOTE: Sweeps that are 14” and less can be used without trimming. Wider sweeps may
need to be trimmed by tires and/or walking tandems.
TRANSPORTING
1. Park tractor and chisel plow on level surface with depth control cylinders fully raised.
2. Raise wings with caution. Operate tractor hydraulics from operator station only.
3. Install transport lock pins on
