Pre-Start Checklist

Perform the following steps before transporting the

SS1300-SS1700 Sub-Soiler to the ﬁeld.

❑ Carefully read “Important Safety Information” on

page 1.

❑ Lubricate Sub-Soiler as indicated under “Lubrica-

tion” on page 23.

❑ Check all tires for proper inﬂation. “Tire Inﬂation

Chart” on page 26

❑ Check all bolts, pins, and fasteners. Torque as

shown in “Torque Values Chart” on page 27.

❑ Check Sub-Soiler for worn or damaged parts. Repair

or replace parts before going to the ﬁeld.

Field Operation

You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed

between the tractor and implement. Do not stand or place any

part of your body between implement and moving tractor. Stop

tractor engine and set park brake before installing pins.

44. Hitch implement to a suitable tractor, See “Hitching

Tractor to Sub-Soiler” on page 12-33.

45. Check to be sure machine is running level from front

to rear when running machine at depth desired. See

“Front to Rear Leveling” on page 16

46. Adjust guage wheels to desired tillage depth. See

“Gauge Wheel Adjustment” on page 17.

47. Adjust and align coulters to desired tillage depth.

“Coulter Alignment” on page 17

48. Always lift implement out of the ground when turning

at ﬁeld ends and for other short-radius turns.

49. Both the Auto reset and Rigid shank mounts are pro-

tected by shear bolts for extreme overloads. If the

shank bolt shears replace the lower bolt with the cor-

rect shear bolt, use GP part number 802-060C.

(HHCS 5/8-11 x 4 Gr5).

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:

Relieve pressure and shut down tractor before connecting, dis-

connecting or checking hydraulic lines. Use a piece of paper

or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks. Wear

protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working

with hydraulic systems. Escaping ﬂuid under pressure can

have sufﬁcient pressure to penetrate the skin causing serious

injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assis-

tance from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
