2.0 Summary
The Sumo Rippa is a useful tool ideally suited to the potato grower, the Sumo Rippa is used after
ploughing to mix and aerate the soil ahead of bed formers or tillers. It can also be used for primary
cultivation post-harvest and can work down to 14-16in to remove plough pan compaction.
Before using the SUMO Rippa it is absolutely necessary that you read this Operators manual and
Safety Instructions attentively.
Specifications, descriptions and illustrations in this brochure are accurate, as known, at the time of
publication but may be subject to change.

3.0 Safety
This manual contains basic advice, which should be observed during setting-up, operation and
maintenance. Therefore, this operating manual must be read by the personnel concerned prior to
starting up and using the machine and be available at all times.
If safety instructions are not complied with, then this can lead to the risk of injury to yourself and
others as well as damage to the environment or the machine. Non-compliance to the safety instructions
can also lead to claims for damages becoming invalid.
3.1 Qualification and Training
Reliable personnel may only perform any work on, or, with the machine. Statutory minimum
age limits must be observed.
Employ only trained or instructed staff; the individual responsibilities of the personnel
concerning operation, setting up, maintenance and repair must be clearly established.
Make sure that only authorized personnel work on or with the machine.
Define the machine operators’ responsibilities – also with regard to observing traffic
regulations. The operator must have the authority to refuse any instructions issued by third
parties, which contravene safety.
Persons undergoing training or instruction or taking part in a general training course should not
be allowed to work on or with the machine unless they are under the constant supervision of an
experienced person.
The use of spare parts, accessories and ancillary equipment not supplied and/or not approved
by SUMO could have detrimental effects to the construction of the SUMO machine or on its
functions and hence impair the active and/or passive driving and/or operational safety (accident
prevention).
SUMO shall not be responsible for any damage caused by the use of spare parts, accessories
and ancillary equipment not supplied and/or approved by SUMO.
Conversions of or modifications to the machine may only be carried out after consultation with
SUMO.

3.2 General safety
Warning signs and other notices on the machine provide important information for the safe
operation. Observing them will serve your safety.
Before starting work, make yourself familiar with all the equipment and controls as well as
their functions.
The user should wear close-fitting clothing.
Check around the machine before moving off or starting up (watch out for children!). Make
sure you have adequate all-round visibility.
Always match your speed to the local conditions. Avoid sudden turning manoeuvres when
driving uphill or downhill or when travelling across a slope.
Observe the respective regulations when using public roads.
Take into account the wide overhang and/or the sideways force acting on the machine when
turning or negotiating curves.
Ensure that the wings are locked in the upright position when moving down the road by
moving the taps to the off position.
3.3 Special safety instructions
Take extreme care when hitching up or unhitching machine to/from the tractor.
Never allow persons to stand between the tractor and the machine unless the tractor is secured
against rolling away by means of parking brake and/or wheel chocks.
It is forbidden to allow persons to ride on the machine at any time. A safe distance should be
maintained from the machine by observers when in work.
Driving, steering and braking characteristics are influenced by mounted machines and ballast
weights. Therefore, ensure adequate steering and braking ability.
Never stand or work beneath suspended loads.

4.0 Operation and Adjustment
4.1 Operating
Due to the physical nature of the Sumo Rippa a category three enclosed ball top link is highly
recommended as the best option for dealing with the exaggerated loads experienced during normal
working conditions.
The top link should be as short as possible whilst remaining as close to horizontal as is achievable. In
the majority of cases this means using the bottom hole on the Rippa and the top hole on the tractor. It
is important to ensure the machine is running level to allow the optimum level of soil disturbance as
well as to prolong the life of the wearing parts.
The Rippa is fitted with reversible points and once worn can be flipped over. In order to flip over or
change the points first the Rippa must be secured as not to cause any harm to the operator when
working on the machine. Also the tractor engine must be turned off with the parking brake applied. In
order to change the points it is first necessary to remove the two nuts and bolts behind the leg freeing
the worn part. Then the point can be either be flipped over or replaced with a new point in the same
position, with the appropriate nut and bolt tightened up to secure the point in position. The Rippa tines
are protected with a shear bolt located through the leg and in the event of one breaking it needs to be
replaced with the appropriated nut and bolt (see 6.3 Leg & Shear bolt Assembly).
Forward working speed should be governed by the local conditions.
4.2 Adjustments
Depth adjustment of the Rippa is achieved by altering the height at which the pair of pneumatic depth
wheels are set by using a unique pin system (see 6.4 Depth Control page 11). This and a combination
of the top link length and lower linkage height help to change the depth of the machine. Always ensure
the machine is working level to achieve uniform results.

5.0 Maintenance
The condition of the Rippa legs and the points should be regularly monitored in order to maintain the
most efficient use of the machine.
Exposed chrome ram rods should be greased weekly prevent these valuable parts from rusting and
causing costly oil leaks.
Wheel nuts should be regularly checked and tightened if necessary.
Greasing points are located at the wing pivots. Depth wheel pivots and at each end of every ram. They
should receive 2 to 3 pumps of grease every week.
5.1 Spares
When ordering replacement parts please have your serial number, part numbers (listed in Section 6.0)
and quantities at hand.
5.2 Winter storage
When machines are to be parked up for the winter period, correct storage techniques are an important
part of protecting the machine to ensuring a hassle free season. When the machine has finished work it
should be cleaned down and washed off to remove all traces of soil.
Following washing of the packer bearings should be greased with one pump if fitted. Other grease
points are located on both ends of all rams, wing hinge bushes, and these should receive two or three
pumps of grease.
Wheel studs should be checked that they are tight.
Exposed chrome ram rods should be greased to prevent these valuable parts from rusting over winter
and causing costly oil leaks.
When the machine is parked up a note should be made of what wearing parts require replacing ready
for the next seasons work. The wearing parts can then be ordered in time ready for the next season’s
work in good time to avoid delays when the machine is required earlier than expected!
