SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING OPTIONAL WING WHEELS
For soil conditioners equipped with side wing
wheels, mount the Wing Arm Mount Bracket to the
front tubing member of the Wing Frame as shown
(approximately 6” from the end of the wing frame)
using two 1/2" x 5” Grade 5 Bolts and 1/2" Lock
Nuts.
Bolt the Wheel Arm Weldments to the front of the
Base Unit Main Frame directly below the hydraulic
cylinder shown using one 1 1/4" x 9” Grade 5 Bolt
and 1 1/4" Nylon Lock Nut. Pin the clevis end of the
hydraulic cylinder to the lower tab on the Wheel Arm
Weldment and secure using the 1” x 3 1/2" pin and
cotter pins. Align the wheel and hub and tighten the
wheel nuts in a star pattern to 80 Ft. Lbs.
IMPORTANT: Check the wheel nuts periodically to
ensure they remain tight.
Using the 1” x 3 1/2" Pins and cotter pins, secure the
two wheel lift hydraulic cylinders to the tabs welded
on the front of the Base Unit Main Frame.
NOTE: Soil Conditioners with working widths between 37’ and 39’ have a longer Wing Arm Rest and a
spacer on the hydraulic cylinder that folds the left side wing.
MAKE SURE THE MS CYLINDERS AND HYDRAULIC HOSES ARE MOUNTED ACCORDING TO THE
DIAGRAM ON PAGE 29.
ADJUSTING THE PRESET VALVE ON THE FOLDING WING CYLINDER
Wings wheels installed on the Torsion Flex Soil Conditoner are equipped with a preset valve on each
folding cylinder that allows the wings to fold in sequence (see hydraulic diagram). When folding the wings
for transport, the right side wing should fold first. When unfolding for field use, the left wing should fold
first. Failure to fold/unfold the wings in proper sequence could result in damage to the wings, wheel
assembly or baskets.
The rate at which the wings fold/unfold is dependent on the side
of the wings and the hydraulic pressure supplied by the tractor.
If the wings fold slower than 2 minutes, the preset valve can be
removed and adjusted to increase hydraulic flow (see diagram).
To increase the hydraulic flow through the preset valve, insert an
L-wrench through the nylon bushing located inside the preset
valve and rotate counter-clockwise up to one complete turn.
(One complete counter-clockwise turn will increase the flow
through the valve up to 100 psi.) IMPORTANT: Be sure to
adjust the preset valve on each folding wing cylinder the same.
If your tractor supplies too much hydraulic pressure with the existing preset valve, causing the wings to hit
during the fold/unfold sequence, please call our Torsion-Flex Service Department at 419-375-2376 for a
free replacement preset valve set for higher hydraulic pressures.
