Section 1
Assembly
This section covers dealer requirements for assembly. As
the dealer, it is your responsibility to unload, assemble and
prepare the drill for use.
The drill is shipped via flat bed truck. It is not fully assem-
bled. Unload all equipment before beginning assembly. Do
not attempt any assembly work while the drill is on the
truck.
The following are step-by-step instructions for assembling
the drill. Each heading is a step in the assembly process.
Begin with Tools Required and Pre-Assembly Checklist to
ensure you have all necessary parts and equipment at
hand. Then proceed with Hook Up Drill Control Console.
Follow each step to make the job as quick and safe as pos-
sible and produce a properly working machine.
Tools Required
•
Forklift or overhead hoist with 8,000-lb. capacity
•
A tractor with at least 135 horsepower with 2 sets of hy-
draulic remotes.
•
General hand tools, jack stands or blocks and lifting
chain
NOTE: You will need about 10 gallons of hydraulic oil to re-
fill the tractor hydraulic reservoir after initial bleeding and
cycling of the hydraulic systems.
Pre-Assembly Checklist
1. Read and understand “Important Safety Informa-
tion” on page 1 before assembling.
2. Have at least two people on hand while assembling.
3. Make sure the assembly area is level and free of ob-
structions (preferably an open concrete area).
4. Make sure the assembly area is large enough for the
assembled drill. Final assembled width will be 24 or 30
ft.
5. Have all major frame components.
6. Have all fasteners and pins shipped with drill
IMPORTANT: If a pre-assembled part or fastener is
temporarily removed, remember where it goes. Keep
the parts separated.
.
7. Have a copy of the drill parts manual on hand. If un-
sure of proper placement or use of any part or fasten-
er, refer to the parts manual.
8. Check that all working parts are moving freely, bolts
are tight, and cotter pins are spread.
9. Inflate tires to recommended pressure as listed on the
Tire Inflation Chart on the “Appendix” on page 11.
Tighten wheel bolts as specified on Torque Values
Chart on the “Appendix” on page 11.
Hook Up Drill Control Console
To properly assemble the drill, the control console must be
mounted in a tractor with suitable hydraulic capacity so the
drill can be lifted. When setup is complete, remove the
console for installation in the customer tractor.
1. Mount the control box at a convenient location in the
tractor cab. Connect the 12-ft. extension cable to the
pin connector on the back of the control box. Route
the cable to the tractor drawbar area. Secure the cable
to avoid damage.
2. Connect the power cord to a 12-volt power source on
the tractor. The polarity of the power supply is very im-
portant to prevent circuit damage. The red wire of the
power cord must be connected to the + positive bat-
tery terminal and the white wire to the - negative bat-
tery terminal.
