SAFETY SUGGESTIONS
Federal law requires you to explain the safety and operating instructions furnished with this machine to all
employees before they are allowed to operate the machine. These must be repeated to the employees at the
beginning of each season. Be sure to observe and follow the instructions for the safety of anyone operating or
near the machine.
Investigation has shown that nearly one-third of all farm accidents are caused by careless use of machinery.
You can do your part in improving safety by observing the following suggestions. Insist that all people working
with you or for you abide by them.
1. Do not stand between the tractor and implement when attaching or detaching implement unless both
are not moving.
2. Do not make adjustments or lubricate machine while it is in motion.
3. Do not allow anyone to ride on tractor or machine.
4. Always use transport lock when transporting machine.
5. Do not transport at speeds over 20 mph.
6. Avoid sudden stops or turns when transporting because weight of machine may cause operator to
lose control of tractor. Use a tractor heavier than machine. Do not allow tractor drawbar to swing
when transporting.
7. Use caution when towing behind articulated steering tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the
machine to slip sideways.
8. When transporting the machine on a road or highway, use adequate warning symbols, reflectors,
lights, and slow moving vehicle signs as required.
9. Lower machine to ground when not in use.
10. Block machine so it will not roll when unhitched from tractor.
11. Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines before uncoupling hydraulic hoses from tractor. On most tractors
this can be done by operating valves after engine is stopped.
12. Securely block machine when working on or under it to prevent injury in case of hydraulic failure or
inadvertent lowering by another person.
13. Do not allow anyone near the machine when folding or unfolding the wings. Fold wings on as
level a surface as possible.
14. Install safety chain between the pulverizer and the tractor. See page 21 of this manual and/or tractor
manual.
15. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing
serious personal injury. Before applying pressure to the system, be sure all connections are tight and
that lines and hoses are not damaged.
16. Hydraulic fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or a
piece of wood, rather than hands, to search for suspected leaks.

Safety Signs & Decals
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 definitions:
DANGER - Immediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION - A reminder of safety practices, or an alert to unsafe practices which could result in
personal injury.
Examine safety decals and be sure you have the correct safety decals for the machine. 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.
Order decals through your BRILLION dealer.
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.
These are the safety decals provided for the pulverizer. (Their locations are illustrated on the next page).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Designed Use
The folding pulverizer is designed to pull behind wide model field cultivators and discs. It can be used as an
individual unit with the tractor to prepare a seedbed or after seeding to breakdown and pulverizer large surface
clods. The long drawbar allows for easy, short turns when pulled behind other equipment.
Tractor Preparation
Lock tractor drawbar in center position. Do not allow the drawbar to wing, especially during
transport.
Pulverizer Preparation
Hydraulic oil capacity of pulverizer is approximately 4.8 gallons.
Clean hose fitting before connecting to tractor. It is also necessary during initial operation to watch tractor oil
level closely to avoid damage.
In field working position with the three cylinders at the end of their stroke the wing gang will be able to float
which allows them to follow the ground contour. At the same time the axle tires will be raised 4 inches off the
ground to avoid making tire tracks on the pulverized field.
Bleeding Hydraulic Cylinders
CAUTION: Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury. Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines
before uncoupling hydraulic hoses from tractor. On most tractors this can be done by
operating valves after engine is stopped. Before applying pressure to the system, be
sure all connections are tight and that lines and hoses are not damaged.
Hydraulic fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or a
piece of wood, rather than hands, to search for suspected leaks.
If injured by excaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or recation can develop if proper
medical treatment is not administered immediately.
Bleed the air from the hydraulic system before moving the machine. Bleed the air from the transport system
first. This can be done by partially raising and lowering the machine slowly 5 or 6 times. Gradually increase
the length of stroke until the last two cycles are the full stroke on the cylinder.
Bleed the air from the wing folding system next. Raise center of machine, then push transport lock down.
Tighten the 1" nut in the transport cylinder anchor to hold the center up. For machines with manual transport
lock place or remove transport lock on hydraulic cylinder instead of tightening or loosening 1" nut. If the wings
are unfolded, begin partially folding them and then unfolding them again. When unfolding hold the tractor valve
to get the most oil in that side of the cylinder. Be careful that neither wing goes over 90°. Repeat this process
8 or 9 times gradually raising the wings closer to 90°. After bleeding procedure is complete loosen 1" nut in
the transport cylinder anchor to allow free movement.
If the wings were folded to start with, use the same procedures except start unfolding at the wings and then
refold them.
If it becomes necessary to drain the oil from one or more cylinder, it is important to bleed the air out of the
system before operating.
Change the machine from field position to transport position 2 to 3 times to insure the automatic transport lock
is functioning properly.
Page 5
5J801182rev501
Field Operation
Once the folding pulverizer has been transported to the field, unfold the wings completely. Reversing the hydraulic
level should allow the pair of compression springs to push transport lock up with automatic transport lock. After
this the implenent may be completely lowered. With manual transport lock reverse the hydraulic lever to allow
manual removal of cylinder transport lock.
During field operation, it is not necessary to raise the machine for turns, but turns should be as wide as possible.
Slow daown when operating on rocky soil.
HitchAdjustment (Used to Limit Soil Pushing)
The pulverizer drawbar can pivot vertically in field operation. The placenent of shims musst be identical on both
sides of pulverizer. See figure below for position of drawbar shims.
If the pulverizer continues to push soil, a 6J-194 manual valve kit can be added to hold the wings up at a preset
height. See setup instructions for installation. Raise wings to the desired height with tractor hydraulics and shut
off the valve. This allows some weight of the pulverizer wings to be transferred to the transport wheels, without
the hydraulic system raising the wings. With the tractor hydraulics being used to raise or lower the pulverizer the
outside end of the wings and the center frame will all raise or lower uniformly the same distance. The valve will
have to be opened to fold wings. When center section is raised slightly tire tracks of pulverizer will be left in the
field. Wing can float up with valve closed.
Page 6
5J801182rev501
Transport (With Manual Lock Models)
When changing from field position to transport position, raise center section completely without folding the
wings then install cylinder transport lock before folding the wings. Relieve the hydraulic pressure until the
cylinder transport lock is tight against the end of the cylinder barrel.
Transport (With Automatic Lock Models)
Fold the wings for transport. In transport relieve the hydraulic pressure until the cylinder transport lock is tight
against pin in the lift arm. There should be no need to do anything with pulverizer when going from field to
transport or transport to field.
Storing Pulverizer With Drawbar Removed
Start with pulverizer in field position. It may be necessary to move some additional drawbar shims to the
bottom side of the drawbar braces. Install the storage cylinder lockout which is 5-1/2" long that is attached to a
hydraulic hose on the center cylinder. Fold the wings with the cylinder transport lock up, with 1" nut on center
cylinder anchor bolt tightened. Position pulverizer with tractor where it will be stored. Relive the hydraulic
pressure until the storage cylinder lockout is tight against the end of the cylinder barrel. Remove hydraulic line
brackets from the drawbar next. It is not necessary to break any hydraulic lines. Rest the hydraulic lines on
the center frame. The drawbar braces and drawbar can not be removed. For machines with manual transport
lock place or remove transport lock on hydraulic cylinder instead of tightening or loosening 1" nut.
Drawbar Attachment When Pulverizer Is Stored
Attach the drawbar and drawbar braces. Next assemble hydraulic lines to the drawbar. Refer to setup
instructions. Hitch tractor to drawbar. Raise center section and remove pulverizer from storage. Next unfold
wings completely then raise center section completely. Remove storage cylinder lockout and loosen 1" nut on
center cylinder anchor bolt slightly to allow free movement of transport lock. For machines with manual
transport lock place or remove transport lock on hydraulic cylinder instead of tightening or loosening 1" nut.

MAINTENANCE
Fasteners
After a few hours of use check entire machine and tighten any loose nuts or bolts. Daily or periodic checks
should be made thereafter.
Tires For Dual Wheel Pulverizers
Recommended size of four tires are: 9.5L x 15 6 ply inflated to 28 psi or 11L x 15 6 ply inflated to 28 psi.
Lubrication
Grease zerk fittings daily. Locations are:
Transport axle bearings (bottom) - - - - 3
Hinge pins - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4 (2 per hinge)
The above items are not sealed and cannot be overgreased.
Wheel bearings should be repacked annually.
When Pulverizer is not used for some time, exposed cylinder rods should be cleaned and covered with a thick
coat of grease. This will prevent corrosion which will damage seals.
