EM 1700,2200,2200F,2500 04/09 Assembly Section 3-32

ASSEMBLY

Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in such a way as to be

clearly visible and legible.

Ensure the unit is properly lubricated as specified in the lubrication schedule and all bolts

and nuts are properly torqued. Failure to properly assembly and maintain this Implement in

good operating condition could cause component failure and possible serious injury or even

death

Always maintain the safety signs in good readable condition. If the safety signs are missing,

damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately.

(SG-5)

Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in

motion or while tractor engine is running.

(SG-20)

Do not modify or alter this Implement. Do not permit anyone to modify or alter this Imple-

ment, any of its components or any Implement function.

(SG-8)

On a fully assembled unit, do not release the Wing Retaining Strap until the hoses are

attached to the tractor and the Wing Cylinders are filled with oil. Always keep bystanders

away while raising and lowering the wings

To lower the wings, hook the hydraulic hoses to the tractor. From the Operators

Seat use the tractor hydraulic control levers to fill wing cylinders with oil. Keep

coworkers and bystanders away from the implement while filling. For implements

with the wings in the raised or transport position, filling the cylinders should raise

the wings slightly and loosen the wing retaining lock. DO NOT release the wing

Transport Bar/Latch if there is a force on the lock. Use tractor hydraulic control

levers to lower the wing(s). Continue to hold the control lever until both wings are

down and the wing cylinders are fully retracted or extended. Continue to cycle the

cylinders several times by raising and lowering the wings fully to remove any

trapped air. If there is sponginess during the raising cycle, this may indicate that

air is entrapped in the hydraulic circuit. Continue to cycle the cylinders until all

sponginess is removed.

The implement wings should lower slowly when they are allowed to float down

and are not powered down. This is a safety feature built into the system. If the

wings fall rapidly, have the cylinders repaired before operating the implement.
