Summers Superchisel - 5-Section - Manual (Page 59)

PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION
A. Depth control cylinders out of
phase.
Rephase cylinders. See Page 3-6.
B. Eyebolts not adjusted properly. Adjust with wrenches provided.
See Pages 3-8 and 3-9.
C. Gauge wheels not adjusted
properly.
Adjust gauge wheels so they ride
freely on top of the ground.
D. Hard soils conditions. Use different tillage tool or perform
multiple passes, starting at less
depth.
2. Not pulling straight. A. Chisel plow not tilling level. See "Not tilling level" above.
A. Excessive travel speed. Reduce speed.
B. Hard soil conditions. Use different tillage tool or perform
multiple passes, starting at less
depth.
C. Deep furrows. Travel across field furrows at an
angle.
A. Working in extremely heavy
trash.
If equipped with mounted harrows,
reduce aggressiveness of harrows
or lock harrows in the up position.
B. Tillage tool (spike, sweep, etc.)
causing plugging.
Change type of tool. Make sure
twisted spikes are not throwing soil
towards wheels.
A. Machine not running level front
to back.
Adjust eyebolts on front center
wheel assembly.
B. Gauge wheels adjusted
improperly.
Adjust gauge wheels so they ride
freely on top of the ground.
C. Hard soil conditions. Use different tillage tool.
A. Depth control cylinders out of
phase.
Rephase cylinders by fully
extending and holding tractor
remote lever for 30 seconds.
B. Hydraulic hoses not connected
properly or faulty coupler.
Reconnect hydraulic hoses or
replace hydraulic coupler.
C. Tractor hydraulics not set
properly.
Adjust tractor hydraulic flow rate to
maximum on Depth Control Circuit.
A. One way restrictor(s) not
installed properly.
Check restrictor(s) (PN 8J7116).
B. Tractor hydraulics not set
properly.
Reduce flow rate to Wing Lift
Cylinder Circuit.
A. Part 2 wing lift cylinder moving
before part 1 wing lift cylinders fully
extend.
Increase pressure in sequencing
valve that feeds base end of part 2
cylinders.
B. Part 2 wing lift cylinders not
extending.
Decrease pressure in sequencing
valve that feeds base end of part 2
cylinders.
A. Part 1 wing lift cylinders moving
before part 2 wing lift cylinders fully
retract.
Increase pressure in sequencing
valve that feeds rod end of part 1
cylinders.
B. Part 1 wing lift cylinders not
retracting.
Decrease pressure in sequencing
valve that feeds rod end of part 1
cylinders.
8. Wings do not unfold
properly.
9. Wings do not fold
properly.
6. Depth control
cylinders not working
properly.
7. Wing lift cylinders
move too fast.
1. Not tilling level.
3. Inconsistent tillage
depth.
4. Plugging.
5. Poor penetration.
