Setup
The assembly steps of the preceding chapter must be
completed prior to setup.
Setup steps consist of:
1. Hitch to suitable tractor.
2. Connect hydraulics.
3. Bleed hydraulics.
4. Level drill.
5. Install any options not factory-installed.
Hitching
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed between
the tractor and drill. Do not stand or place any part of your
body between machines being hitched. Stop tractor engine and
set park brake before installing hitch pins.
Hitch Selection
This drill can have positive and negative tongue weight, which
can work the hitch pin loose during transport. To avoid serious
injury or death due to a road accident, always use a clevis hitch
or clevis drawbar with a locking-style hitch pin.
Use a drill-hitch option that is compatible with the tractor
drawbar used during setup.
The 3S-4000HD has three hitch options. Although only
one is installed, the original order for the drill may have
included extra alternate hitches:
• a clevis hitch,
• a small-hole, single-strap hitch or;
• a large-hole, single-strap hitch.
Use the clevis hitch with tractors that have single-tang
drawbars. Use the single-strap hitch for tractors with cle-
vis drawbars. Always use a locking-style hitch pin sized to
match the holes in the hitch and drawbar.
