Operations
PREPARING THE TORSION-FLEX SOIL CONDITIONER
Before putting the soil conditioner into operation, check the machine for damaged or worn parts and replace as necessary.
Hardware
Make sure all hardware is properly fastened according to the Bolt Torque chart found in this manual. Recheck all hardware for tightness after the
unit has been operated for several hours. Check all pins and retaining rings are in good condition. Replace any pins of retaining rings that are worn,
damaged or missing.
Hydraulic Hoses
Check all the hydraulic hoses to make sure there are not rubbing against sharp edges or are kinked or twisted. Hoses should be secured to the soil
conditioner with nylon tie straps. Check hoses and tting for hydraulic leaks. Tighten or replace as necessary.
Lubrication
Lubricate the Torsion-Flex soil conditioner according to the Lubrication Schedule outlined in the SERVICE section of this manual.
Tires and Wheels
Check the tire pressure in the transport tires. The recommended air pressure is 46 PSI. Make sure the tire pressure is equal in all tires. Make sure the
wheel lug nuts are tightened to 80 Ft. Lbs. Check the wheel lug nuts before initial operation and after the unit has been operated for several hours
to ensure the lug nuts remain tight.
Adjusting the Inner Tongue
Before attaching theTorsion-Flex soil conditioner to your primary tillage tool, extend the inner tongue of the A-Frame Tongue Assembly to ensure
adequate turning clearance between the implements when turning. Adjust the Inner Tongue length by removing the 1”x 8”Tongue Pin and Cotter
Pin. Readjust the Inner Tongue to the appropriate setting and re-pin as before.
Attaching to the Primary Tillage Tool
Back the primary tillage tool into position and attach the soil conditioner to the implement using a high quality hitch pin and clip and lock into
place. Install a transport chain. Transport chain should have a minimum rating equal to the gross weight of implement and all attachments. Use
only ASAE approved chains. If the unit is parked in the transport position, turn the handle on the jack stand after the soil conditioner has been
connected to the primary tillage tool to remove pressure. Remove the Jack Assembly from the storage position and re-pin to the transport position
located on top of the Storage Extension Arm.
Unfolding the Wings / Removing the Transport Locks
It is recommended to unfold the side wings in the eld. Remove the wheel lift cylinder transport locks so the unit may be lowered to the eld
working position. Pin the transport locks on the back of the A-Frame Tongue Assembly for easy storage.

16
Transporting
Before the soil conditioner is transported, be sure to secure the Jack Assembly in the transport position located on the top of the Storage Extension
Arm.
The Torsion-Flex Soil Conditioner will increase the overall length of the primary tillage tool. Use extreme caution when turning to avoid obstacles.
Reduce ground speed as necessary to maintain control of equipment.
Install hydraulic cylinder transport locks on the Base Unit wheels BEFORE transporting.
Comply with ALL state and local laws governing highway safety and regulations
when moving machinery on public roads. Be sure an SMV emblem is in place and
clearly visible on the rear of the conditioner. Make sure all lights are clearly visible
and working properly BEFORE highway travel. Be sure the amber, red and orange
retroreective tape on the implement is in place and clearly visible.
The transport speed should not exceed 10 MPH in the eld or over rough terrain.
Reduce transport speed when necessary to maintain full control of the implement
at all times.
WARNING – Before unhooking the soil conditioner, be sure to install the hydraulic cylinder transport locks. Reposition the jack stand on the Storage
Extension Arm to the parked position and lower the jack stand to the ground by turning the handle until weight of the soil conditioner is transferred
to the jack. Keep hands and feet away from the jack stand when lowering.
Remove the Hitch Pin and unhook the safety chains.
WARNING – Always relieve hydraulic system pressure before disconnecting hoses from tractor or servicing hydraulic system. See the tractor’s oper-
ators manual for proper procedures. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses. Install dust covers over the hose plugs and outlets.
TheTorsion-Flex Soil Conditioner is designed to provide an excellent seedbed when used in conjunction with you primary tillage tool. For maximum
performance in normal eld conditions, the soil conditioner should be used with the transport wheels in the raised position to allow maximum
transfer of weight to the rolling baskets.
With the wheels in the raised position, adjust the Turn Buckle Adjustment Bar until the wheels are approximately 2”above the ground. This will set
yourTorsion-Flex Soil Conditioner at the maximum clearance height during transport.
The Spring Coil-Tine Harrow Bar is designed to improve the soil leveling capabilities of your conditioner. To improve the ground leveling capabilities of
the harrow in heavier soils, pin the harrow bar so the coil-tines are positioned more vertically. In softer soils or to improve eld residue ow through
the leveler bar, position the bar with a decreased vertical angle of the tines.

Storage
To add longer service and life to yourTorsion-Flex Soil Conditioner, perform the following before placing the implement in storage:
1. Remove dirt and trash that may cause rusting.
2. Repaint any areas where the paint has been chipped, scratched or worn away.
3. Coat all earth moving surfaces with a suitable rust preventative.
4. Inspect for damaged or worn parts and replace before next use.
5. Lubricate wing and wheel pivot points.
6. Block up the conditioner to keep the wheels and ground tools o the ground.
7. Replace all worn, torn and faded decals and reectors.
8. Store the implement inside away from inclement weather.
To add longer life to yourTorsion-Flex Soil Conditioner, perform the following on a regular basis:
1. Grease hinge, linkage area and wheel transport pivots (3X) weekly or
every 40 hours. Grease the 4-Hole Flange Bearings (1X) on the Rolling
Basket Assembly every 50 Hours.
2. Check lighting before over the road transport. Make sure lights and
SMV emblem are clean from dirt and eld debris.
3. Check implement for damage, cracked welds, loosened hardware,
etc. Promptly repair to prevent further damage.
4. Check hydraulic system for leaks and hose damage, twists or kinks
and make necessary repairs.
5. Check tire pressures and lug nuts periodically and adjust as required.
