5) As wings are almost fully opened, FULLY ROTATE the end
wheels into eld position BEFORE completely open.

6) Activate the LATCH hydraulics to fully secure the truss arms
into place. Make sure truss arm LATCHES ARE FULLY
ENGAGED before lowering harrow sections into eld position.
IMPORTANT: To prevent serious damage, ensure both
latches have fully engaged and then LOCK-OUT
the Latch & Endwheel circuit before operating. 5

9) Adjust Tine Angle, Trailer Height
and Disc settings.
8) Lower the disc sections using the Disc Cylinders.
4) Back-up slowly. The wings will open up. Ensure there is lots of
room behind and to the sides. Back-up evenly so you don’t
damage the transport wheels.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to back-up evenly to avoid
serious damage to the transport wheels.
2) Remove the front Center Beam Transport Pins (2),
Cylinder Lock Bars (2), and Endwheel Transport Bars (2)
and place in storage locations.

Center Beam Torque Adjustment
CSetting Tine Angle, Pressure, Frame, & Disc Angle
• Straw should be dry.
• A speed of 8 to 12 MPH (12 to 16 KPH) is suggested to
efficiently shatter and spread straw and residue.
• If discing aggressively, DO NOT have much straw in
harrow sections.
Remember When Operating:
• If machine leaves small clumps of straw, apply slight
down pressure by extending Transport cylinders.
• If machine leaves large clumps of straw, reduce
down pressure by retracting the Transport cylinders
and reducing the tine angle.

Tine Angle Adjustment
IMPORTANT: Re-syncronize the tine section cylinders
by fully extending the rephasing cylinders and holding
for 30 seconds. This should be repeated a few times
daily or as needed, especially in hilly conditions.
- Refer to manual for more information. -
• Check for missing, worn or damaged parts.
• Working points & pins • Grease Endwheel Turrets (25hrs)
Maintenance
(Check Machine Daily)
• Hydraulic Connections & Hoses
• Hubs & Spindles
* Refer to operators manual for complete safety and operation info.
• Tire Pressure:
41 PSI (283 kPa)
There are no standard angles for running the tines, the operator
may adjust the tine angles as needed to achieve desired results.
Note: Actual settings will vary
with tine wear. Ensure trailer and
frame are leveled properly.
(Refer to Height Adjustment)
- Retract rephasing tine angle
cylinders to raise tines.
- Extend cylinders to lower.

DMoving Into Transport Position
1) When placing machine into Transport position, keep the Trailer Height at Maximum.
2) Raise disc sections. IMPORTANT: Discs MUST be raised. Failure to do so will result in damage to disc sections.
3) Operate the transport hydraulics to fully raise the harrow sections.
4) Fully Rotate the endwheels before driving forward. The wing beams should fold back into transport position.
5) Install all frame transport pins (2), cylinder lock bars (2), and endwheel transport bars (2).
IMPORTANT: Endwheel transport bars MUST be installed during transport.
6) Ensure SMV sign and reectors are clean and lights are working. Follow all local transport laws when transporting.

Setting Disc Angle
- Loosen Jam Nuts.
- Adjust Turnbuckle.
- Re-tighten Jam Nuts.
0°-4° with a coulter disc will allow you
to open the ground and cut trash with
minimal soil disruption.
5°-7° is good for mixing some dirt with
residue while loosening the soil but still
leave stubble standing to catch snow.
8°-10° is perfect for working low spots
with high trash and for drying them out.
