General Operation and In-Field
Adjustments
1. Remove the transport pins, see “Transport Locks” on
page 15 and unfold machine. Make sure the fold cylin-
ders are fully extended to allow the wings to fully flex in
the field.
2. If possible have someone observe the machine during
first time operation for levelness, front to rear and wings
to center frame.
Refer to Figure 15
3. If machine needs leveled from front to rear, remove the
snap wire pin
from the turnbuckle lock , swing lock
off turnbuckle and adjust the hitch turnbuckle . When
done adjusting, be sure and swing turnbuckle lock back
down and secure with snap wire pin.
Refer to Figure 16
4. If machine is not level when fold cylinders are com-
pletely extended, fold wings back up and instal shims as
needed to level.
Note: Extra shims are stored in manual pak. The extra
shims may be needed in the future if the hinge holes or
bolts begin to wear. There are two different thickness
of shims, you may use multiple shims to level wings.
5. Remove the two 3/8 x 1 1/4 bolts and either add more
shims to raise wings or take shims out to lower wings.
6. Re-instal bolts and tighten to specs, “Torque Values
Chart” on page 30.
7. For best results, if at all possible, run machine at a slight
angle to the rows. This will improve trash flow and allow
for better dislodging of rootballs and will help spread the
residue more evenly across the field.
