Safety Awareness and Decals
Safety awareness is crucial, especially if safety signs are damaged or missing. New signs should be obtained from authorized dealers. Key safety decals include transport lock, pinch point, and general machine caution decals, each with specific warnings and instructions to prevent injury.
General Maintenance Safety Practices
Maintenance safety involves personal protective equipment, avoiding unauthorized modifications, and ensuring all safety devices are in place. Hydraulic systems should be handled with care, and lifting devices must be rated for the weight they handle.
Initial Start-Up Procedures
For disk lift hydraulic cylinders, ensure air is purged by maintaining hydraulic pressure. Wing lift cylinders require oil charging before operation. Safety lock pins should be removed before lowering wings.
Field Operation
Before field operation, remove safety locks and level the disk. Adjustments should be made with no pressure in the cylinders. Depth settings vary by machine size, and rear coulter gangs require specific hydraulic pressure settings.
Transporting and Storage
Transporting involves securing safety locks and using safety chains. Speed should not exceed 20 mph, and safety lights should be used. For storage, clean the machine, check for damage, grease all zerks, and protect parts from rust.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance includes greasing gang bearings every 20 hours and checking wheel bolts. Tire inflation pressures are specified for different tire sizes. Seasonal maintenance involves cleaning and repacking wheel bearings.
Troubleshooting
Common problems such as trash buildup can be addressed by adjusting components or installing options like the Coulter Option.
Assembly Instructions for H614 Hub
Seal Support Installation: Use two Seal Supports (8R6927) and press each onto the spindle 5/8" past the inner bearing retaining shoulder. Apply a thin layer of grease to the counterface surface during seal installation.
Seal Counterface Installation: Press the Seal Counterface (8R6924) into the hub until the shoulder contacts the hub.
V-Seal Installation: Stretch the V-Seal (8R6923) over the Seal Support until it is seated against the back shoulder.
Hubodometer Installation: Attach the Hub Odometer to the gang nut using a 3/8” x 4-1/2” bolt, flat washers, and lock nut. Ensure the bracket is centered and spot weld at specified locations. The Hub Odometer is calibrated at 359 revolutions per acre. Use the provided conversion chart for different implement widths.
Product Specifications
The document lists various nuts, lockwashers, washers, pins, and other hardware components with specific dimensions and grades.

START-UP AND HYDRAULIC OPERATION INITIAL START UP PROCEDURE FOR DISK LIFT HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS This disk has a Master-Slave Hydraulic Lift System. Fully extend hydraulic cylinders and maintain hydraulic pressure for 30 seconds to insure all air is purged from system. See diagram on previous page. NOTE: As oil is pumped into the base end of master cylinder, oil is forced out of the rod end into the base end of each slave cylinder. To compensate for the smaller volume of oil in the rod end of the master cylinder, each slave cylinder is 1/2” smaller in diameter. When cylinders are fully extended,...
