FIELD OPERATION
The following procedure should be used for field operation
of your Summers Diamond Disk & 2510 DT.
1. Remove wing safety lock pins and transport locks and
place in their storage positions.
2. Lower wings for field operation.
3. Level disk. The disk should be adjusted in a level area
of the field.
IMPORTANT!
All pressure must be removed from cylinders before adjusting
eyebolts. Rest Disk on top of the ground, shut tractor off and
relieve pressure by cycling remote lever.
A. First, level the center section (front to rear) by adjusting
the threaded eye bolts located above each hydraulic
cylinder.
B. Second, level the wings with the center section again
by adjusting the threaded eye bolt above each hy-
draulic cylinder.
C. With the front center cylinder in the rear hole, after the
disk has been leveled in working position, it is normal
for the front gangs to be 3-4” lower than the rear gangs
in the fully raised position. This is due to the fact that
when the disk is in working position, the front center tires
run on top of a ridge of soil thrown in by the front gangs.
18-1/2’ and 21-1/2’ Machines
To set depth, install stroke control collars on the front center cylinder
(5” dia. x 10” stroke).
24-1/2’ - 47’ Machines
After determining desired tillage depth, set depth control
plunger accordingly. Standard plunger hole spacing gives
5/16” cylinder stroke adjustment. By rotating plunger 90
degrees, a half step adjustment can be achieved. See
drawing below.
