Slow Moving Vehicle
THIS MACHINE IS EQUIPPED WITH REPHASING MASTER SLAVE
LIFT CYLINDERS. THESE CYLINDERS MAY AFTER A PERIOD OF
TIME GET OUT OF TIME OR PHASE. THE EFFECTS OF THIS CAN
BE SEEN WHEN ONE SECTION IS RUNNING TOO LOW OR TOO
HIGH BECAUSE ITS LIFT CYLINDER IS EITHER OVEREXTENDED
OR OVERRETRACTED COMPARED TO THE OTHER LIFT CYLIN-
DERS. TO REPHASE THE CYLINDERS, RAISE THE IMPLEMENT
COMPLETELY UP AND HOLD THE TRACTOR HYDRAULIC LEVER
ON FOR A FEW SECONDS TO GIVE THE CYLINDERS TIME TO
REPHASE. THIS SHOULD BE DONE EACH TIME THE MACHINE IS
RAISED OUT OF THE GROUND. MOMENTARILY REVERSING THE
HYDRAULIC LEVER IMMEDIATELY AFTER REPHASING TO ALLOW
THE CYLINDERS TO RETRACT ABOUT 1/2" WILL HELP IN MAIN-
TAINING A LEVEL IMPLEMENT.
