ページを印刷するNOTE: With row by row hydraulic downforce, it is
likely that extra weight, or weight distributing hydraulic
cylinders will be required to keep toolbar wings at
proper operational height /angle. Weights should be
added near the ends of the toolbar.
TOOLBAR TIRES (7.1)
If your toolbar was built for the purpose of carrying
striptill equipment, tires on the toolbar should be
properly placed without any correction needed. Many
users will opt for a used planter, or cultivator toolbar.
These toolbars can sometimes work, but gauge
wheels must run in front of the toolbar. Toolbars with
gauge wheels running between strip-till units will not
perform properly. Check that your tires are properly
inflated to the recommended pressure for your
conditions.
HARDWARE INSPECTION (7.2)
Ideally, every piece of equipment, every fastener, and
every accessory is perfect right out of the box. In the
real world, there is a occasional bolt that is not snug,
and an occasional fitting just slightly out of spec. It is
important to inspect your entire system, to ensure that
every bolt is tight and every component is functioning
properly. This simple step can significantly reduce
downtime due to small imperfections amplifying into
equipment failure.
HYDRAULIC INSPECTION (7.3)
Today's hydraulic systems make setup relatively safe
and easy, but it is still important to check all hydraulic
lines and fittings before connecting them to the
tractor. It is recommended that all couplers be fitted
with dust caps when not in use, and carefully cleaned
before connecting. Check for damage on all hydraulic
hoses and replace any lines that have been
compromised by wear or fatigue. High pressure
hydraulic fluid can be dangerous if couplers, lines and
fittings are not properly installed and cared for.
HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS (7.4)
You should inspect the hydraulic hoses and their
connections. Make sure that the fittings, running into
actuator, center manifold, and all hoses are secure.
Please read and understand the users manual of any
hydraulic accessories and connect pneumatic fittings
according to the recommendations of the
manufacturer.

Toolbar Preparation
TOOLBAR MOUNTED EQUIPMENT (7.5)
Many toolbars used in conjunction with the Pluribus
system carry a number of additional agricultural
devices. Fertilizer hoppers, fertilizer distribution
systems, pneumatic accumulators and pumps, etc.
should be inspected and checked for loose
connections whether electrical, hydraulic or
mechanical. If you do not have an operators manual
for an agricultural device you will be using with the
Pluribus Strip-TIll System, it is highly recommended
that you obtain and review the equipment manual
before using it.
TOOLBAR HITCH (7.6)
Both drawbar and three-point hitches should be
checked for fatigue. Pull-type toolbar hitches should
be equipped with safety chains. Safety chains can
prevent a serious accident should the toolbar hitch
become disconnected from the drawbar.
Unsecured agricultural implements
WARNING!:
can move erratically with extreme force, and may
cause serious injury or death.
