Chapter 3 Operation NOTE NOTE This chapter will cover the basic operation and procedures for the Landoll Brillion Pulvi-Mulcher. Be sure to read and understand the Safety Procedures and Cautions starting on See Page 1-1. Before operating your Brillion machine, check all hardware for tightness. Use the Tightening Torque Table in Chapter 4 as a guide. See Page 4-1. Level Adjustment To adjust the front of the machine higher during transport, add spacers between the bumper and Drawbar Center Mast.
OPERATION Spring Adjustment Transport Lock The Springs are used to cause the rear of the machine to lift before the front during the raising cycle (this prevents jolts when it shifts from rear-heavy to front-heavy). Tighten springs only to the level to accomplish this. See Figure 3-2. To prepare the machine for transport, raise it fully and install Transport Lock Pin. See Figure 3-2. The rear- most hole is used for pin storage during field operations.
OPERATION Depth Control Maximum operating depth of six (6) inches is obtained with depth pin in front hole. Each subsequent hole reduces the depth approximately one (1) inch. See Figure 3-2. In addition to the five depth settings, you have one other option; by using the optional hole setting you can achieve a working range of approximately 4” maximum down to “zero or completely inactive teeth.” See Figure 3-3.
OPERATION Arm Weldment Bracket Ground Line V-Leveler Weldment Set V-Leveler Weldment at or above ground level Figure 3-4: V-Leveler Side View Reflectors and SMV Sign Scraper Adjustment Reflectors and a slow moving vehicle sign (SMV) are required if the Pulvi-Mulcher is transported on a public road. See Figure 3-5. The roller scraper is designed to keep the roller from building up with moist soil during operation. Adjustment of the scraper will be necessary as the roller and/or the scraper wears.
Chapter 4 Maintenance General Torque Specifications (rev. 4/97) This chart provides tightening torques for general purpose applications when special torques are not specified on process or drawing. Assembly torques apply to plated nuts and capscrews assembled without supplemental lubrication (as received condition). They do not apply if special graphite moly-disulfide or other extreme pressure lubricants are used. When fasteners are dry (solvent cleaned) add 33% to as received condition torque.
MAINTENANCE Hydraulic Fitting Torque Specifications 37 degree JIC, ORS, &ORB (REV. 10/97) This chart provides tightening torques for general purpose applications when special torques are not specified on process or drawing. Assembly torques apply to plated nuts and capscrews assembled without supplemental lubrication (as received condition). They do not apply if special graphite moly-disulfide or other extreme pressure lubricants are used.
MAINTENANCE Tires Recommended inflation pressure for the 9.5L X 15-6 Ply tire is 30-32 PSI. Grease Daily Grease Daily Figure 4-2 Rockshaft Bearings Figure 4-1 Wheel Hub Wheel Bearing Maintenance Wheel bearing maintenance should be performed at the beginning of every season of use. Check the wheel bearing for excessive end play. If needed, adjust or replace them. Lubricating Wheel Hub: Grease Wheel Hubs every 40-60 hours. Repack Wheel Hub bearings annually before each season usage. See Figure 4-1.
MAINTENANCE C-Tooth Point Replacement Place the reversible point on the front of the C-tooth, line-up the two bolt holes, insert two 3/8-16 X 1-3/4 Cultivator Bolts and tighten using two 3/8-16 Lock Nuts. See Figure 4-3. As the C-tooth point wears, a replacement reversible point is available for installation.
MAINTENANCE Clamp Tightening Procedure The tightening procedure and torque requirement is critical in keeping in keeping the clamp tight and also has a significant affect on the bearing life of the axles with internal bearings. Clamp Tightening Procedure: 1. Check axle and clamp for burrs on mating surfaces. 2. Remove end play between wheels by sliding wheels toward the fixed end of the axle. 3. Position clamp snugly against the end wheel. 4.
MAINTENANCE Storage The service life of the ML Rigid Pulvi-Mulcher will be extended by proper off-season storage practices. Prior to storing the unit, complete the following procedures: • Completely clean the unit. • Inspect the machine for worn or defective parts. Replace as needed. • Repaint all areas where the original paint is worn off. • Grease all exposed metal surfaces. • Apply a light coating of oil or grease to exposed cylinder rods to prevent them from rusting.
