Investigation has found that many farm accidents are caused by careless use of farm machinery. To
minimize as much as possible the chance of personal injury or even death, insist that all people working
with you or for you follow these instructions. Be sure to explain to the operator, in detail, the operation,
maintenance, adjustments, and safe operation instructions contained in this manual.
CAUTION: Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines before you attempt to work
with, connect or disconnect hydraulic hoses under pressure.
CAUTION: Whenever transporting a farm implement on public roads it is the
reponsibility of the operator to abide by state and local laws concern ing wide loads, speed, safety emblems, and safety lighting equipment.
CAUTION: Before initially applying hydraulic pressure to the system, be sure
all connections are tight and that lines and hoses are not damaged.
CAUTION: Do not stand between tractor and implement when attaching or
detaching implement unless both tractor and implement are not moving.
CAUTION: Do not make adjustments or lubricate machine while it is in
motion.
CAUTION: Do not allow anyone to ride on the tractor or machine when operating or
transporting.
CAUTION: Reduce speed when transporting over uneven or rough terrain.
Shift the tractor into a lower gear when transporting down hills or steep slopes.

Safety Signs
Safety Signs
There are three levels of hazard intensity that appear with the safety alert symbol on safety decals:
DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. The level
of hazard intensity is determined by the following
defnitions:
DANGER - Immediate hazards which WILL result in death or serious
personal injury.
WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in death or
serious personal injury.
CAUTION - Indicates potentially hazardous
situations, or directs attention to
unsafe practices which could
result in minor or moderate injury.
• Examine safety decals and be sure you
have the correct safety decals for the
machine.
• Order replacement decals through your
BRILLION dealer.
• Keep these signs clean so they can be
observed readily. It is important to keep
these decals cleaned more frequently
than the machine. Wash with soap and
water or cleaning solution as required.
• Replace decals that become damaged or
lost. Also be sure that any new machine
components installed during repair
include decals which are assigned to
them by the manufacturer.
• When applying decals to the machine,
be sure to clean the surface to remove
any dirt or residue. Where possible, sign
placement should protect the sign from
abrasion, damage, or obstruction from
mud, dirty oil, etc.
• Decals for the Extended Frame Soil Builder
are pictured below. Their locations on the
machine are shown on the next page.
CAUTION
1. DO NOT LUBRICATE, ADJUST OR REPAIR WHEN MACHINE IS IN MOTION.
2. DO NOT TOW OR TRANSPORT FASTER THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR.
3. DO NOT RIDE OR ALLOW OTHERS TO RIDE ON THE MACHINE.
4. BLOCK UP ALL HYDRAULICALLY OR MECHANICALLY RAISED COMPONENTS TO PREVENT
UNINTENDED LOWERING OR LOWER THE MACHINE TO THE GROUND TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT
OR REPAIRS OR WHEN NOT IN USE.
5. KEEP ALL PERSONS AWAY FROM MACHINE DURING HITCHING AND OPERATING.
6. SLOW DOWN BEFORE MAKING SHARP TURNS OR USING THE BRAKE.
DRIVE SLOWLY OVER ROUGH GROUND, SIDE HILLS, AND AROUND CURVES TO AVOID TIPPING.
7. COMPLY WITH ALL LAWS WHEN TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS.
8. INSTRUCT ALL OPERATORS IN THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE MACHINE.
REVIEW THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR CORRECT PROCEDURES.
9. BLOCK IMPLEMENT TO PREVENT MOVEMENT WHEN UNHITCHED FROM TRACTOR.
10. KEEP ALL GUARDS AND SHIELDS IN PLACE WHILE MACHINE OR PARTS ARE IN MOTION.

WARNING
WARNING
DO NOT GO NEAR LEAKS
High pressure oil easily punctures
skin causing serious injury,
gangrene or death.
If injured, seek emergency medical
help. Immediate surgery is
required to remove oil.
Do not use fingers or skin to
check for leaks.
Lower load or relieve hydraulic
pressure before loosening fittings.

SAFETY CHAIN

WFPSafetyChain
Use of a 10,100# safety chain is recommended if the machine is towed on a public road or highway.
Total weight of towed machine must not exceed chain capacity as shown on the chain’s identification
tag.
Slack in the chain should be only enough to permit turning. Distance from hitch pin to attachment
point or intermediate support should not exceed 9”.
CAUTION If two or more machines are pulled in tandem, a larger chain may be
required. Chain capacity must be greater than the total weight of towedimplements. A second chain should be used between each implement.
CAUTION Replace chain if one or more links are broken, stretched, or otherwise
damaged or deformed.
SoilBuilder SafetyChain
Keep attaching hardware fastened securely.
If bolts are replaced, be sure to use grade 5 or higher unless otherwise specif
If you have any questions regarding the safety chain call your Brillion dealer.

Operation
Operation
The Brillion Soil Builder should be inspected prior
to operation to see that all nuts and bolts are
tight and to be sure that it is in good operating
condition. (After the first few hours of initial
operation, check bolts once again to be sure they
haven’t loosened.)
Hitch the coulter-chisel to the tractor drawbar. It
may be necessary to adjust the adjustable brace
rod assembly of the coulter-chisel so that the
clevis is at the proper height for tractor drawbar.
A 3½ x 16 cylinder is used to raise and lower
the machine. With the cylinder installed, attach
hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic system so
the machine will be lowered when moving control
lever forward.
Make sure the ratchet
is stored away from the
machine raising cylinder.
IMPORTANT! Remove the handle from the
ratchet jack before raising or lowering the machine
to prevent bending the handle. Store the handle
on the drawbar.

TRANSPORTING THE
COULTER-CHISEL

To transport the unit, extend the
transport cylinder completely
and raise the transport lock into
position by pulling the handle to
the front and latching the handle
in place. Then retract the
cylinder until the weight is taken
up by the lock. The machine is
now ready for transport.
FIELD OPERATION
To release the transport lock,
extend the transport cylinder
full length and push the lock
handle to the rear to lower
the lock. Lower the machine
to the desired working depth.
If your cylinder is eqipped
with a depth stop, you may
set the depth by adjusting the
moveable hydraulic stop on the
cylinder rod.

3-1/2” x 16” Cyllinder
Operates Wheel Raising
Set the coulters to the desired depth by operating
the hydraulic cylinder on the coulter depth control
(or by moving the pins to the proper holes if your
machine is equipped with manually adjustable
coulters.)
For Field Operation, the spring bolts should
be tightened so that one inch of thread is exposed.
For chisel plowing tougher ground you may want to
clamp the spring tighter, but when this is done, the
shank and tooth will not pass over as great an obstruction.
Do not set the coulters deeper than necessary
to cut the surface residue. Setting the coulters
too deep in firm soil may prevent the shanks from
properly penetrating the soil.
Ratchet Jack
Now check to make sure the machine is level in
working position. The machine is leveled from
front to back by adjusting the ratchet jack on the
drawbar brace.
791rev1-10-08
For best results, operate tractor at 4 to 6 miles
per hour. Reduce speed when approaching the
end of the field. When turning or backing up raise
the coulter-chisel clear of the ground to prevent
damage to the shanks and disc gang assemblies.
1K705Page 9
LUBRICATION
On your Brillion Soll Builder the
following grease fittings should
be greased after each 8 hours
of operation.
The four cast bearings on the
coulter gangs, the six steel
bearings on the wheel arms
and rockshaft and the center
bearing on the rockshaft.

bearings and the walking beam
pivot bearings on machines
equipped with walking beam axles.

Grease the ratchet jack as
needed to prevent rusting, .
Coat the cylinder rods with grease to prevent the
rods from rusting if the machine will be stored
outside or for a prolonged period of time.

grease the cast
bearings daily.
