Coil Tine Settings
Refer to Figure 34
b.On coil tine drags start with the top eyebolt (1) cen-
tered. Then level drag mainframe (2) by changing
position of leveling bolts (3). There are two holes in
the arm and four in the mainframe. One of these will
get you where you need to be to be level. To lay teeth
back, remove the clip pin (4) on each end and move
strap adjustment by pushing the handle (5) forward.
The strap has 5 holes arm will let you lay the teeth
back several degrees. If it is desired to set one row,
usually the first, different than the rest as far as the
angle is concerned, it can be adjusted individually by
loosening the u-bolt and set-screw on each end of
the drag bar. Down pressure on the drag is achieved
by lengthening the eyebolt (1) on the top bracket.
Depending on the amount of down pressure, you
may need to re-level the mainframe.
Reel Settings
c.If a reel is added, adjust the amount of down pressure
by either shortening the eyebolt for less pressure or
lengthening for more pressure.
Parking
Follow these steps when parking the implement for periods
of less than 36 hours. For longer periods, see Storage, the
next topic.
1. Position the implement on firm, level ground.
2. Raise, fold and lock implement (page 28 and page 24).
Note: Static tongue weight of a loaded, lowered, and
unhitched implement can be as much as 500 kg
(1100 lb))
Refer to Figure 35
3.
Remove jack from storage position and pin securely
to lifting stob on outside of implement tongue . See
“Hitching Tractor to Discovator” on page 17.
4. If ground is soft, place a wide block or plate under the
jack to increase contact area.
5. Securely install chock blocks to prevent jack from dig-
ging or sliding off plate.
6. For dual line air brakes, disconnect the red (control)
gladhand connector first, at the tractor, then the blue
supply connector, and store each connector in its
matching color-coded gladhand holder on the imple-
ment.
7. Un-hook electrical lines and protect with any plugs or
caps provided.
8. Release pressure on hydraulic system, then discon-
nect hydraulic lines and pull all lines back onto imple-
ment tongue. Store hoses ends in keyholes of hose
