Important Safety Information
Look for Safety Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
safety precaution must be taken. When you see this
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that
follows it. In addition to design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and
proper training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Be Aware of Signal Words
Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard
seriousness.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations,
typically for machine components that, for functional
purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when
guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
Use Adequate Lifting Means
The frame sections and gangs of this machine are
extremely heavy. If using multiple lifters, make sure each
is rated for at least its share of the load.
Prepare for Emergencies
Be prepared if a fire starts
Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital
and fire department near phone.

Read all instructions noted on the decals.
Keep decals clean. Replace damaged, faded and illegible
decals.
Wear Protective Equipment
Wear protective clothing and equipment.
Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job.
Avoid loose-fitting clothing.
Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable
hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.
Because operating equipment safely requires your full
attention, avoid wearing entertainment headphones while
operating machinery.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected leaks.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems.
If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance
from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can create
a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult
to see, especially at night.
Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever
driving on public roads.
Use lights and devices provided with implement
Keep Riders Off Machinery
Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be
struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.
Never allow children to operate equipment.
Keep all bystanders away from machine during operation.

Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough for you to stand to one side–not in front
of or over tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-handling
equipment adequate for weight involved.
Safety At All Times
Thoroughly read and understand the instructions in this
manual before operation. Read all instructions noted on
the safety decals.
Be familiar with all machine functions.
Operate machinery from the driver’s seat only.
Do not leave machine unattended with tractor engine
running.
Do not stand between the tractor and machine during
hitching.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power-driven
parts.
Wear snug-fitting clothing to avoid entanglement with
moving parts.
Watch out for wires, trees, etc., when folding and raising
machine. Make sure all persons are clear of working area.

Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by
relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs,
seek immediate medical attention from a physician familiar
with this type of injury.
The standard air drill has one hydraulic circuit (with a low
pressure relief valve return line). The standard circuit
powers lift, fold and weight-transfer functions, controlled
by a valve block on the right front of the air drill.
Raise/Fold Hose
This hose is connected to valve block port “V3” on the
implement. Connect it to port “C” on the cart.
Lower/Unfold Hose
This hose is connected to valve block port “V4” on the
implement. Connect it to port “D” on the cart.
Relief Valve Return
This hose is connected to valve block port “DUMP” on
the implement. Connect it to port “G” on the cart.
Check hose routing to ensure adequate slack for link arm
movement, and clearance from pinching or abrading
cart/air drill components.
Equipment Damage Risk:
If the tractor to be used has a load-sensing or constant-flow
hydraulic system, the drill must be equipped with an optional
bypass valve to avoid tractor damage. See Options section of
Operator manual for ordering.
Equipment Damage Risk:
DO NOT connect the Sump return line to a tractor
power-beyond-port.

DO NOT cut seed tubes until after the hydraulics are purged. Seed Tube installation steps to follow.
120.Charge the lift system first. Extend the lift cylinders (black handles) until the center section is fully raise.
Remove the 1 x 4 1/2 cylinder transport lock pin . The wings will not start to raise until the center cylinders are
fully extended and the master cylinders begin to bypass oil through the rephasing ports, to the wing cylinders.
Watch for leaks and re-tighten fittings if necessary. Continue to pump oil to the lift system until the wing cylinders
are also fully extended. At this point, reverse the flow and lower the unit to the ground, retracting all cylinders.
Raise and lower the unit several times to purge air from the system.
121.You may now charge the fold system. Before charging the fold cylinders , make sure the rod end of the cylinders
are un pinned and block is under cylinders as shown on rear cylinders, so that when the rod is extended, it will
clear the wing fold brackets. Extend the fold cylinders (green ends) completely and then close them. Extend and
retract the cylinders several times to purge air from the system. Now the cylinders may be extended far enough to
be connected to the wing fold brackets.
122.Remove wood block and install 1 x 7 Gr. 8 special thread bolt , 1 flat washers and 1 top lock nut to rod end of
inside wing cylinders and slot in fold bracket.
Tighten 1 x 7 Gr. 8 special thread bolt down to where there is 1/16” to 1/8” gap. Be sure bolt will still turn freely
123. Remove wood blocks and install 1 x 7 hinge pins , 1 flat washers, 1 3/4 rollers and 3/8 x 2 roll pins to base end
of outer wing cylinders and rocker.

Openers Seed Tube Set Up
Refer to Figure 28
After the Field Cultivator Assembly is completed and the Hydraulic Systems have been purged of air you will need
to route and cut the seed tubes that are attached to the openers.
125.Park the Field Cultivator with the openers hanging off the side of a road or terrace.
126.Extend the openers all the way down, and make sure the towers have been raise all the way up. This allows
the hose length to be cut as long as needed to ensure that while the implement is in use it will have full range of
motion. Towers will raise themselves when the machine is unfolded.
127.Attach the seed tube to one of the ports on the tower .
128.Route the tube to the appropriate opener , be sure to run through the hose guide , cut the tube and attach to
the opener seed tube . Tubes must be long enough for full range of motion (flexing down). If the tubes are too
long they will plug or get pinched during folding. See “Seed Tube Routing Layout” on page 48 for tube routes.
129.After tubes are connected to the openers travel 20ft or more with the down pressure on the openers engaged,
increase or decrease the pressure to get all the openers to run level across the whole machine.
If seed towers on the wings do not retract during folding crack a hydraulic hose behind the check valve to release pressure on the
towers. If this warning is ignored damage to the implement is certain.

Hydraulic Connectors and Torque
Refer to Figure 32 (a hypothetical fitting)
Leave any protective caps in place until immediately
prior to making a connection.
NPT - National Pipe Thread
Note tapered threads, no cone/flare, and no O-ring.
Apply liquid pipe sealant for hydraulic applications.
Do not use tape sealant, which can clog a filter and/or plug
an orifice.
JIC - Joint Industry Conference (SAE J514)
Note straight threads and the 37 cone on “M” fittings
(or 37 flare on “F” fittings).
Use no sealants (tape or liquid) on JIC fittings.
ORB - O-Ring Boss (SAE J514)
Note straight threads and elastomer O-Ring .
Prior to installation, to prevent abrasion during tightening,
lubricate O-Ring with clean hydraulic fluid.
Use no sealants (tape or liquid) on ORB fittings.
ORB fittings that need orientation, such as the ell depicted,
also have a washer and jam nut (“adjustable thread
port stud”). Back jam nut away from washer. Thread fitting
into receptacle until O-Ring contacts seat. Unscrew fitting to
desired orientation. Tighten jam nut to torque specification.
All tires are warranted by the original manufacturer of the tire. Tire
warranty information is found in the brochures included with your
Operator’s and Parts Manuals or online at the manufacturer’s web
sites listed below. For assistance or information, contact your
nearest Authorized Farm Tire Retailer.
