16.0.1 MOUNTING THE WHEELKIT TO THE MACHINE
Work as follows, see fig.10.:
1. Unpack all parts and lay them down
2. Put machine horizontal on a hard floor with locked rear roller and in deepest working position.
3. Assemble pins Q in main frame each side and tighten nut inside.
4. Fix the arms O with pin U and distance washer W tight to machine with nut X..
5. Assemble the hydraulic cylinder M to pin Q and secure it with bolt/nut P/R. Use distance washer N.
6. Mount the rear beam B between both legs O using the 4 main bolt/nuts E/K and plate J. Before
tightening, assemble the hydraulic cylinder rod end with distance bush L with a similar bolt and
nut. Do not tighten the bolts/nuts yet.
7. Mount the rear wheels G with main shaft H (first put bush F at each bearing of the wheel) and
lock pin I to the leg O and rear beam B and secure it with bolt C and (spring) washer D.
8. Tighten all bolts/ nuts E/K.
9. Reposition the standard bottom 3-point pins on the Verti-Drain to the front hole, both facing to
the right (standing behind machine).
10. Fix the draw bar AB to both repositioned 3-point pins and lock with linch pin.
11. Assemble the top link support AH at the standard bolt AG and lock it with the standard toplink
pin. Assemble it in the position drawn.
12. Assemble both top links AC between the top link support AH and the draw bar AB with
pins AD. Note one side of the top link is bent AI, which should be mounted at AH.
13. Fix the hoses S (long one) and T (short one) to the hydraulic cylinder and 90 degrees
connector Y.
14. Mount the hydraulic pipes Z to the 90 degrees connector at one side and the T-connector at the
center side. Use clamps V to fix the hoses and the pipes to the Verti-Drain.
15. Connect the two hoses AF to the T-connecter. Note: since every country has different quick
connectors, no quick connectors are supplied. Use your own ones.
16. Check whether all bolts/nuts are tight.
17. Attach the tractor to the machine.
18. If the pin size of the tractor is different, bush AE can be exchanged.
19. Adjust the machine vertical with toplinks AC.
20. Raise the machine with hydraulic power of tractor and check hydraulic system.
21. Lower and raise machine 10 times, so that air can be removed from hydraulic system.
22. Assemble the longer PTO. Check the length according par. 4.1
16.0.2 SOME GUIDELINES FOR WHEEL KIT USE
When the machine is used with a hydraulic wheelkit, be aware of the following:
- The unit has no brakes. Highway use is limited to 25 km/h (15 mph)
- Check the national legislation for highway use.
- When the machine is in use, leave the wheels on the ground. A free floating hydraulic
valve at the tractor is necessary.
- Tyre pressure should range from 1.0 – 2.0 bar (14-28 PSI). Note: when used at 1.0 bar
the maximum transport speed is 16 km/h (10 mph).
- The maximum hydraulic system pressure is 175 bar (2400 PSI).
- Never disconnect the hoses from tractor when machine is raised off the ground. Always
ensure that machine is tight on the ground with locked rear roller supports and relieved
oil pressure, before disconnecting the hoses. (see also par.11.0)
- When the working depth is adjusted, always reset the machine at 90 degrees with
toplinks.
- Check bolts/nuts regularly.
- Watch your turns when machine is raised. Damage to the PTO may occur
- Do make straight passes during work, no turns allowed.
