1. Hydraulic hoses and ttings for depth control cylinders can be found on following drawings.
– Rephasing cylinders require that oil from the rod end of rst cylinder goes to base end of
second cylinder and so forth. Cylinders will not operate properly unless they are connected
correctly.
2. Special attention should be paid to routing of hydraulic hoses. Page 2-50 shows layout of hoses
for depth control cylinders.
A. It is best to start by routing the hose for the 6 x 10” cylinder. Make sure there is 60” of hose
ahead of hose holder. This is usually enough hose for safe and easy hook-up to tractor.
B. Route hose along hitch frame. Use plastic clamps provided. Do not tighten until routing is
complete.
– On hitch, and a portion of main frame, 2 clamps are placed on each bolt.
– Clamps are made to have the round surface point towards the surface that you are
mounting to. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

FIELD OPERATION
1. Rephase cylinders before starting eld operation.
IMPORTANT
TO REPHASE CYLINDERS, RAISE
MACHINE AND MAINTAIN HYDRAULIC
PRESSURE TEN SECONDS AFTER
CYLINDERS ARE FULLY EXTENDED.
QUICKLY RETRACT CYLINDERS AT
LEAST 1/2”. REPHASING SHOULD BE
DONE EVERY HOUR OF OPERATION TO
MAINTAIN UNIFORM TILLAGE DEPTH.
2. Choose a at spot in a eld to set tillage depth and level chisel plow.
8Z0340
IMPORTANT!
The operator is responsible for adjusting machine since machine does not come “Field
Ready” from factory.
3. Determine desired tillage depth by working test strips within the eld.
NOTE: Optimum performance of machine is achieved by tilling at a depth and moving at a
speed that does not go beyond limit of trip assemblies. This limit is exceeded if connecting
bolt (shown in the following drawing) continually rides above trip assembly cap.
3-6
Page 73
SECTION 3 – CHISEL PLOW OPERATION
3. (Continued) – Trip Assembly Limit
NOTE: Increased draft will occur if connecting bolt continually rides above trip assembly
cap. This will consume horsepower as well as reduce life of trip assembly components.
4. After determining desired tillage depth, set depth control plunger accordingly. Standard plunger
hole spacing gives 5/16” cylinder stroke adjustment. By rotating plunger 90 degrees, a half step
adjustment is achieved.
3-7
Page 74
SECTION 3 – CHISEL PLOW OPERATION
5. Leveling chisel plow from side to side. Stop tractor with machine in the ground. Check depth of
tillage on the left wing, center, and right wing. If leveling is necessary, use wrenches provided to
adjust eyebolts on cylinder attachments located at rear of chisel plow.
*NOTE: Insure that cylinder attach holes are aligned when eyebolts are tightened.
IMPORTANT!
Pressure must be removed from cylinders before adjusting eyebolts. Rest chisel plow on
top of the ground, shut tractor off and relieve pressure by cycling remote lever.
One turn of 1-1/2” NC Cylinder Attach Eyebolt Nut changes chisel height 3/8”. One inch of cylinder
stroke moves chisel plow height over 2 inches. Therefore, it may only be necessary to move eyebolts
a small amount to attain correct adjustment of each section.
3-8
Page 75
SECTION 3 – CHISEL PLOW OPERATION
NOTE: It is best to check levelness of chisel plow after each adjustment by working test
strips within the eld.
6. Leveling machine from front to back.
16’ - 30’ Narrow: With chisel plow still in the ground, check depth of tillage in the front and the
back of machine. Level with hitch tilt cylinders.
32’ Standard - 44’: With chisel plow still in the ground, check depth of tillage in the front and the
back of machine. If leveling is necessary, use wrenches provided to adjust eyebolt on front wheel
assembly up or down.
The front center lift arm has two cylinder attach locations. If chisel plow has a full set of mounted
harrows or if rear of machine is low in transport position, use rear cylinder attach hole. Connecting front center cylinder to rear hole will lower front end of chisel plow in transport position.
IMPORTANT!
Pressure must be removed from cylinders before adjusting eyebolts. Rest chisel plow on
top of the ground. Shut tractor off and relieve pressure by cycling remote lever.
3-9
Page 76
SECTION 3 – CHISEL PLOW OPERATION
7. Setting gauge wheels (32’ Standard-44’). After depth has been established and chisel plow has
been leveled, operator must set gauge wheels. Stop tractor with chisel plow in the ground. Adjust
crank assembly until wheel rests on top of the ground. Set bolts are installed on each gauge wheel
assembly. Adjust set bolts so gauge wheel depth can still be changed but rotation of assembly is
limited. If running at a consistent depth, set bolts can be securely tightened to lock gauge wheels.
IMPORTANT!
Gauge wheels are only intended to stabilize the wings. They should not be used to support entire weight of wings. Tough soil conditions may create “suction” on the front of the
chisel plow. As long as the machine is not operated beyond trip assembly limit (see page
3-7), gauge wheels are being used properly. Failure to follow these guidelines may result
in machine damage.
A depth decal is attached to the axle holder to help operator in setting gauge wheels.
3-10
Page 77
SECTION 3 – CHISEL PLOW OPERATION
8. Operation “Tips”
32’ - 44’
– The 5 solid lift arms on this machine are designed to prevent skewing from side to side.
To avoid damage to lift arms and wheel assemblies, do not take sharp corners with
chisel plow in the ground.
32’ - 44’
– Floating hitch machines are designed to follow ground contours. The Summers chisel
plow has a short wheel base in eld position that allows it to smoothly follow through
ditches and gullies. This machine will also follow deep furrows in the eld. The opera-
tor may want to till through deep furrows at an angle to maintain a more uniform tillage
depth.
– Rephase cylinders every hour. If the chisel plow is raised and lowered only a small
ALL
amount during operation, cylinders will not remain in phase. Since each section is supported by individual cylinders, it is important to keep these cylinders in phase in order
to maintain uniform tillage depth (See Page 3-6).
NOTE: Sweeps that are 14” and less can be used without trimming. Wider sweeps may
need to be trimmed by tires and/or walking tandems.
TRANSPORTING
1. Park tractor and chisel plow on level surface with depth control cylinders fully raised.
2. Raise wings with caution. Operate tractor hydraulics from operator station only.

SECTION 3 – CHISEL PLOW OPERATION
4. Use a safety chain between tractor drawbar and chisel plow hitch when transporting.
5. Only tow at a safe speed – 20 MPH MAXIMUM. Use caution when making corners or meet-
ing trafc.
6. Follow all local laws governing transporting of farm machinery.
7. Be aware of and comply with all height and width transport requirements. (See specications page 5-2).
8. Stay clear of overhead lines.
DANGER
TO AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
DO NOT CONTACT
ELECTRICAL LINES.
9. Avoid sharp turns on hard surfaces. Solid mounted lift arms may cause wheel assemblies
to scuff. Damage to tires and machine could occur.
10. Frequently check for trafc from rear, especially during turns.
UNHOOKING CHISEL PLOW FROM TRACTOR
1. Lower machine and relieve hydraulic pressure from cylinders before disconnecting from
tractor.
2. Disconnect hydraulics and Safety Light Kit wiring harness.
3. Rotate jack into standing position and extend jack.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY
1. STOP engine, place all controls in neutral, set parking brake, remove ignition key and wait
for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting or maintaining.
2. BE CAREFUL when working around high pressure hydraulic system.
3. ALWAYS make sure that pressure is relieved from hydraulic circuits before servicing or
disconnecting from tractor.
4. USE EXTREME CARE when making adjustments.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY from machinery at all times.
6. NEVER ALLOW anyone to walk or work under a raised piece of equipment without install-
ing cylinder and transport locks.
