Summers 2510 DT - Manual (Page 28)

SECTION 2 - ASSEMBLY
2-18
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Rear coulter gang is designed to work with active hydraulic down pressure. See
note on Page 2-16 on installation instructions to configure to either closed-center or open-
center hydraulic system tractors.
1. Plug rear coulter gang hydraulic hoses into desired tractor outlet. Insure that tips and couplers are
clean. At the tractor, adjust hydraulic flow to 30% of maximum and to constant vs. timed output.
2. Do not allow anyone to stand near rear coulter gang when raising or lower. Lower rear coulter
gang with tractor hydraulics and engage circuit in lower position, do not run this hydraulic circuit
in neutral/locked position. Adjust rear coulter gang down pressure with base end regulator (Refer-
ence “A” Page 2-15) to 500 PSI.
3. Work a test strip in your field. Insure that the diamond disk/2510 DT is tilling at an equal depth
across machine width. Check penetration depth of rear coulter blades, regulator valve pressure
can be adjusted lower or higher to maintain effective cutting depth. Maximum regulator pressure
is 1500 PSI.
IMPORTANT: Damage to Diamond Disk or 2510 DT and rear coulter gang may occur if run with
hydraulic circuit in neutral/locked position. Damage caused by running with hydraulic circuit
in neutral/locked position is not covered by Summers warranty.
Monitor temperature of tractor hydraulic oil. Discontinue use of rear coulter gang live hydrau-
lic down pressure if hydraulic oil becomes excessively hot. If this occurs, run rear coulter
gang hydraulic circuit in Float Position Only until cause of overheating is resolved. Contact
your Summers Dealer for troubleshooting information. Damage caused by overheating of
tractor hydraulic system is not covered by Summers warranty.
4. If the soil profile behind the rear coulter gang shows a valley or depression, not enough soil is
flowing between the rear center blades. Lower the front of the Diamond Disk/2510 DT to increase
the amount of soil running thru the implement center.
If a mound of soil appears behind the rear coulter gang, too much soil is flowing between the rear
center blades. Raise the front of the Diamond Disk or 2510 DT to reduce the amount of soil run-
ning thru the implement center.
