Before Entering Field Guidelines

Perform the following procedures on a hard, flat, level surface-preferably a concrete slab-before entering field.

1. Fully charge hydraulic system.

  • Raise machine to transport position and hold SCV I lever back for five seconds at top of cylinder stroke.
  • Repeat this three times.
  • This re-phases hydraulic system.

2. Position tractor drawbar.

  • For four-wheel drive tractors and tracked tractors, leave one hole clearance on each side of drawbar for FIELD OPERATION ONLY.
  • Two-wheel drive tractors should be pinned tightly in center position at all times.

3. Machine level front-to-rear. (See CHECKING AND ADJUSTING FRAME FORE-AFT LEVEL in Preparing Machine section.)

4. Machine level side-to-side. (See CHECKING AND ADJUSTING SIDE-TO-SIDE LEVEL FOR SINGLE POINT DEPTH CONTROL.)
