OPERATION
Spring Adjustment
The Springs are used to cause the rear of the machine to
lift before the front during the raising cycle (this prevents
jolts when it shifts from rear-heavy to front-heavy).
Tighten springs only to the level to accomplish this. See
Figure 3-2.
Transport Lock
To prepare the machine for transport, raise it fully and
install Transport Lock Pin. See Figure 3-2. The rear- most
hole is used for pin storage during field operations.
Figure 3-2: Spring Adjustment
Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system is not filled with oil and should be
purged of air before transporting and field operations.
Carefully hitch the ML Rigid Pulvi-Mulcher to the tractor
and connect the hydraulic lift lines. Check to make sure
the tractor hydraulic reservoir is full of the manufacturer’s
recommended oil. Slowly raise the machine. With the
cylinder fully extended remove the Transport Lock Pin.
Lower and raise the unit to verify that the cylinder is
working throughout the stroke. Do not loosen any hoses
or fittings. Recheck tractor reservoir to make sure it is
within operating limit.

Pin Storage
Important: Transport Lock Pin is placed
in this position only when the Hydraulic
Cylinder is fully extended.
Failure to follow this procedure will
result in RockShaft or Hydraulic Cylinder
damage.
Escaping hydraulic fluid can cause serious
personal injury. Relieve system pressure before
repairing, adjusting, or disconnecting. Wear
proper hand and eye protection when searching
for leaks. Use cardboard instead of hands. Keep
all components (cylinders, hoses, fittings, etc.) in
good repair.
