Transport Locks
Refer to Figure 7
10. Once the cylinders are connected, raise the unit com-
pletly. If the transport locks are in place, remove them
at this time.
Refer to Figure 8
11. Store the transport locks on the lift mechanism link
as shown.
12. Once the locks are removed, unfold the wings (if folding
unit).
Note: Make sure no one is under the wings during the un-
folding process. Watch for leaks and make sure hoses
do not get pinched during the initial unfolding process.
13. Once the machine is unfolded, raise and lower the
machine several times to purge air from the lift system.
Again, watch for any leaks and tighten if necessary.
14. Check the tire pressure for proper inflation and check
the tightness of lug bolts.
First Time Field Adjustments
Pre-Leveling of Machine
Note: Pre-leveling of machine should be done on a good lev-
el surface.
Front to Rear Leveling
Refer to Figure 9
15. Lower the machine until the front row of shanks are 1 to
2” above the surface. At this point, remove the snap
wire pin
from the turnbuckle lock , swing lock off
turnbuckle and adjust the hitch turnbuckle to adjust
the fore and aft. The front corner of the main frame
should be 1/2 to 1” lower than the rear corner.
16. Now the turnbuckle lock may be swung back onto
hitch turnbuckle and the snap wire pin may be re-
installed.
