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.

Introduction

The Max-Chisel has been designed with care and built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper setup, maintenance, and safe operating practices will help the customer get years of satisfactory use from the machine.

Description of Unit

The MC5109-5315 Max-Chisel is a one or three-section “vertical” tillage tool. Working width ranges from 11’ 6” to
19. The implement is designed to cut, size and bury residue. It can work up to 11” deep, the blades will dislodge rootballs while mixing and incorporating residue in the top 4-5” of soil chopping in to accelerate the decaying process, leaving the field smooth enough for “one pass” finishing in Spring. For optimum leveling of your machine, it should be equipped with either a Chopper Reel or Buster Bar attachment.

Install Depth Control Valve and O-Ring Fittings

Refer to Figure 10
Some hydraulic hoses will already be routed and
installed. The following procedure is for any hoses that have not been connected, or have needed repair.
41. Inspect all components for damage or contamination during shipping.
42. Lubricate o-ring and threads on fitting.
43. Thread straight (non-adjustable stud) fittings into ports finger tight.
44. Thread elbow (adjustable stud) fitting into side port of depth stop valve . Thread straight (non­adjustable stud) fittings into front port of depth control valve .
Do not over tighten as this could cause damage to
valves. Tighten as shown, See “Hydraulic Connectors and Torque” on page 22 or proper torque value.
45. Route hoses as shown in layout section in Appendix.
46. When the JIC hoses are routed, follow the following procedure for hooking up and tightening.
a. Inspect for possible contamination or damage from
shipping or handling. Sealing surface should be smooth. Annular tool marks of (100uin) concentric with thread permissible.
b. Lubricate the threads and the entire surface of the
cone with hydraulic fluid or a light lubricant.
c. Align mating components for hand connection and
turn flare nut until sealing surfaces make full contact.
47. Alternate Assembly Method for JIC.
a. If torqued method not possible, then proceed to
steps b-e.
b. Lightly wrench tighten the nut until there is firm resis-
tance.
c. Place a wrench on wrench pad next to nut as near
the 6 0’clock position as possible.
d. Place second wrench on nut as near the 3 o’clock
position as possible.
e. Turn nut clockwise to no less than the 4 o’clock posi-
tion and no more than the 6 o’clock position. Required rotation generally decreases as size increases.
d. Torque nut to the values shown in “Torque Value
Chart” page 23. If a wrench pad is provided next to nut, place a second wrench on pad to prevent flare from rotating while being torqued.
e. When torquing nut onto a straight flared fitting, it may
be necessary to also place a wrench on the flared fit­ting wrench pad to prevent it from turning during assembly.

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance from a physician familiar with this type of injury. Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics.

Attach Hose Clamps and Hose Wraps

Refer to Figure 11
48. When all the hoses are hooked up and tightened properly, put hose clamps on hoses as shown.
49. Install hose wraps on hoses as needed.
Be sure and get hoses and light wiring harness
fastened properly so they do not drag. Check to be sure there is enough slack in hinge area when folding machine the first time.

Hydraulic Hose Hookup

50. Great Plains hydraulic hoses are color coded to help you hookup hoses to your tractor outlets. Hoses that go to the same remote valve are marked with the same color.

Raise and lower the lift system several times to purge air from system. Watch for leaks and re-tighten fittings if necessary.
54. The gang frame system (red handles), will need purged. If your machine is a 3 section model the wing gangs will not start to rise until the center cylinders are fully extended and the master cylinders begin to bypass oil through the rephasing ports, to the wing cylinders. Continue to pump oil to the gang system until the wing gang cylinders are also fully extended. At this point, reverse the flow and raise the gangs, retracting all cylinders. Repeat this procedure several times until all the air is purged out of the system.
55. If your machine is a 3 section model 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 cylinder as shown, 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. Remove wood block and install the 1 x 3
pin, 1.5 x 1.0 x.075 machine washer and
3
16 x 2 cotter pin.

Hydraulic Connectors and Torque

Refer to Figure 20 (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 37cone on “M” fittings
(or 37flare 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.
