Using
the
Dirt
Doctor:
If you have used a tow vehicle to transport the unit, and not the tow vehicle you are going to use:
- Install caster in tongue jack. Lower tongue jack to relieve pressure from hitch and release from tow
vehicle.
NOTE:
There are five height positions available on the tongue nose support to allow for different hitch heights
on different vehicles. Choose the height that will allow the unit to sit close to level.
- Connect hitch draw bar to tow vehicle using tongue caster to align hitch draw bar.
- Remove one of the Hitch Pins to allow draw bar to move up and down when operating.
- Raise the tongue jack and remove the caster with quick release pin.
To raise rear wheels
(Lower the unit):
- Remove hitch pin from wheel lift arm pin and slide lift arm pin out until it clears the hole in the plate.
CAUTION:
Keep a firm grip on the lifting arm! Keep head and shoulders away from the lifting arm!
The weight of the unit will cause the lifting arm to drop rapidly.
SLOWLY lower the wheel lifting arm until you can insert the lifting arm pin in the lowest hole. Reinstall the hitch pin.
Repeat with the other side.
NOTE: The other hole positions allow you to use the ripper, pulverizer bar and drag without the compacting roller, or
with the compacting roller only compacting lightly.
- Adjust drag height so it will drag the surface but, will not be loose enough to interfere with the roller.
- Position scraper bar against roller.
- Optional Finish Drag may be attached now or when ready to make a finish pass.
- Additional weight may be added to weight tray for deeper cutting in hard soil.
After using:
- Reinstall the second Hitch Pin in the draw bar. (You may have to reinstall the caster to align the holes.)
- Lower rear wheels as described previously.
-
Raise harrow teeth
to upper most position and
Lift drag section
if needed to clear pavement.
- R
emove caster and raise tongue jack
. You may now safely tow the unit.
Do Not exceed 15 mph.
Maintenance:
The only maintenance required beyond periodic cleaning is to WEEKLY grease the four pillow blocks (bearings) on the
ends of the pulverizer bar and the roller.
MONTHLY use a light grease to coat the lifting arm pins.
We do not recommend the use of lubricants on the scraper blade or tongue jack as this will only cause dirt to collect in
these areas.
Ripper blades may be reversed when tips become worn.
