SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTING THE PRESET VALVE ON THE FOLDING WING CYLINDER (continued)
NOTE: Be sure the baskets are free from excessive mud, rocks or debris before beginning the
folding/unfolding sequence. Excessive weight could effect the timing of the folding sequence, causing
possible collision.
WARNING: Charge the cylinders with hydraulic oil to bleed all air out of the system, and then
check for any leaks. Failure to do so could cause erratic, sudden movement of the wings which
could damage the equipment and cause serious injury or death. Units that have the gauge wheels
on the wings have a slave hydraulic system that must be “charged” so the cylinder ram extends
first on all four cylinders.
INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL HARROW BAR
For part identification, refer to the Harrow Parts List
on pages 34-35.
For each harrow section, attach two Harrow Arm
Mounting Brackets (#2) to the rear tubing along the
wing or base unit using two 5/8” x 4” x 5 1/2” U-Bolt
(#3) and four 5/8” lock nuts (#4). Do not tighten, as
the bracket may need to be adjusted.
Attach one 2” x 8 1/4” Chain Plate (#7) on the front
tubing (directly across from the Harrow Arm
Mounting Bracket) using one 5/8” x 4” x 5 1/2” U-
Bolt (#3) and two 5/8” lock nuts (#4). Do not tighten,
as the plate may need to be adjusted.
Connect one 3” x 21” Harrow Arm to each of the rear mounting bracket using one 3/4” x 6” Grade 5 bolt
(#5) and 3/4” lock nut (#6). Connect the Pivot Bracket (#12) to the lower end of each harrow arm using
one 3/4” x 6” grade 5 bolt (#5) and 3/4” lock nut (#6).
Connect one 16” long chain (#9) to the top of each pivot bracket using one 3/8” x 1” flange bolt (#10) and
3/8” flange nut (#11). Slide the top of the chain through the slot in the chain plate and pin in place using
the Clip Pin (#8). Be sure to pin all the chains to the same length to keep the harrow level.
To Install the Round Bar Assembly
Insert the Round Bar Hooks (#14) into the Round Bar Bracket (#13) and secure using the 1/2” x 1/2”
grade 5 bolts (#17), 1/2” x 2 1/4” oversized washers (#18) and 1/2” lock nuts (#16). Be sure all the round
bars are aligned in the same direction. Secure the round bar bracket to the pivot brackets using the 1/2”
x 4” x 4” U-Bolts (#15) and 1/2” lock nuts (#16).
WHEN TWO SETS OF HYDRAULIC PORTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE…
Torsion Flex Soil Conditioners equipped with wing wheels have one set of hoses to fold the
wings and another set of hoses to raise and lower the wheels. When two hydraulic ports are not
available, we suggest teeing the hydraulic hoses that fold the wings into the hydraulic lines that
fold the wings on the front implement. Therefore, the wings of both implements will fold at the
same time.
