SAFETY

A brief description of signal words that may be used in this manual:

CAUTION: Used as a general reminder of good safety practices or to direct attention to unsafe practices.

WARNING: Denotes a specific potential hazard.

DANGER: Denotes the most serious specific potential hazard.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

You can make your farm a safer place to live and work if you observe the safety precautions given. Study these precautions carefully and insist that those working with you and for you follow them.

Finally, remember this: an accident is usually caused by someone’s carelessness, neglect or oversight.

WARNING

Never clean, lubricate or adjust a machine that is in motion. Always lower or block the implement before performing service.

If the machine must be serviced in the raised position, jack or block it up to prevent it from accidentally falling and injuring someone.

Do not allow riders on the tractor or implement.

Use speeds and caution dictated by the terrain being traversed. Do not operate on any slope steep enough to cause tipping or loss of control.

Be sure all personnel are clear of the immediate area before operating.

Read and understand the operator’s manual and require all other persons who will operate the equipment to do the same.

Be familiar with all tractor and implement controls and be prepared to stop engine and implements quickly in an emergency.

CAUTION

Consult your implement and tractor operator’s manual for correct and safe operating practices.

Beware of towed implement width and allow safe clearance.

FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Mounting bolts and hardware

Before operating the Titan Residue Manager for the first time, check to be sure that all hardware is tight. Check all hardware again after approximately 50 hours of operation and at the beginning of each planting season.

All hardware used on the Titan Residue Manager is Grade 5 unless otherwise noted. Grade 5 cap screws are marked with three radial lines on the head. If hardware must be replaced, be sure to replace it with hardware of equal size, strength and thread type. Refer to the torque values chart when tightening hardware.

Important: Over tightening hardware can cause as much damage as when under tightening. Tightening hardware beyond the recommended range can reduce its shock load capacity.

The chart below is a guide for proper torque. Use it unless a specified torque is called out elsewhere in the manual. Torque is the force you apply to the wrench handle or the cheater bar, times the length of the handle or bar. Use a torque wrench whenever possible.

The following table shows torque in ft. lbs. for coarse thread hardware.

Lubricate all bearings and moving parts as assembled and make certain that they work freely.

WARNING: Never work around the toolbar/implement while in a raised position without using safety lockups.

CAUTION: The Residue manager attachments are very heavy. Pay extra attention to lifting techniques while handling and or maneuvering the opener during assembly. Failure to do so may lead to personal injury.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1. Attach the 2967-295 arm to the 2967-296-mount bracket using the 5/8” bolts, flat

washers, bushings, 2967-623 adjustment plate and 5/8” lock nuts. Also, install the ½” x 2” bolt, 2967-622 spacer, ½” lock nut, 2984-326 pin and 2570-446 bowtie cotter on the 2967-623 adjustment plate.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 2

Attach the R.M. wheel/hub assemblies to the 2967-295 Combo Arm using 5/8” lock washers and hex nuts. Adjust the bearing shield to top dead center, rotate slightly forward. Torque to 150 ft./lbs.

Choose the mounting hole in which to attach the R.M. wheels.

MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS FOR RESIDUE WHEELS

2967-404 – 13” TAPER TOOTH SPOKE WHEEL

2967-596 – 3/8” HEAVY DUTY SPOKE WHEEL

2967-602 – 13” SHARKTOOTH WHEEL

2967-388 – 10” TAPER TOOTH SPOKE WHEEL

OPERATION

CAUTION: Where rocks are present the residue manager should be set in the

“float” position, not locked down.

Adjust the residue manager to move crop residue aside and not move any soil. Adjustments to the residue manager may have to be made when changing field conditions and type and amount of residue. Use the handle for leverage when changing depth settings.

“FLOAT SETTINGS”

Install the adjustment pin below the combo arm. To raise the wheels, lift the 2967-295 and move the adjustment pin up. To lower the wheels, move the adjustment pin down.

“RIGID SETTING”

Install the adjustment pin through the combo arm. To raise the wheels, lift the 2967-295-combo arm to the desired position and insert the pin. To lower the wheels, lower the combo arm to the desired position and insert the pin.

ROW CLEANER DO’S AND DON’TS

1. DO NOT move soil; Residue Managers are designed to move crop residue only.

2. DO NOT operate at slow speeds, ground speed affects how aggressive the spoke wheels are; operate at sufficient speed (4-6 mph) to maintain good residue flow.

3. DO NOT expect 100% of crop residue to be cleared, it is not necessary and would necessitate engaging the soil. The width of path cleared depends on ground conditions, depth setting and ground speed.

4. DO expect to see wheels occasionally quit turning, indicates ideal (shallow) setting which is not moving soil.

5. DO adjust toolbar frame height 20”-22” and drawbar to “level” correctly. Very important to ensure residue manager will follow ground contours properly.
