Safety


General Operation

• DO NOT RIDE!! Do not allow riders on theimplement when in motion.

• Do not allow extra riders in the tractor unless aninstructor seat and seat belt are available.

• Check behind when backing up.

• Reduce speed when working in hilly terrain.

• Never allow anyone within the immediate area whenoperating machinery.

• Stand clear when raising or lowering wings.

• Keep all shields in place, replace them if removedfor service work.

Tractor Operation

• Be aware of the correct tractor operat ingprocedures, when working with implements.

• Review tractor operator’s manual.

• Secure hitch pin with a retainer and lock drawbarin centre position.

Safety


Chemicals

• Use extreme care when cleaning, filling or makingadjustments.

• Always read granular chemical or treated seedmanufacturer’s warning labels carefully andremember them.

• Wear close fitting clothing and appropriate personalprotective equipment for the job as specified bythe chemical and/or seed manufacturer.

• Always wear safety goggles, breathingapparatus and gloves when handling with granularchemical or treated seed.

• Do not feed any treated seed to livestock. Treatedseed is poisonous and may cause harm to personsor livestock.

• Wash exposed skin immediately - do not leavechemicals on your skin.

• Properly store chemicals in original containers withlabels intact per the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Always follow the manufacturer’s operatinginstructions and warning labels when operating anammonia tank with the equipment.

• Do Not enter Air Cart tank unlessanother person is present and thetractor engine has been shut off.

DangerFailure to comply may result in death or serious injury.

Read Operator’s Manual and decals on Ammonia tank before operating Air Cart.Become familiar with all warnings, instructions, and controls.

Always wear gloves and goggles when transferring or handling ammonia.

Always stay clear of hose and valve openings.

Always be sure pressure is relieved before disconnecting hoses or parts.

Always secure connecting parts and safety chains before towing ammonia trailer.

Always have ample water available in case of exposure to ammonia liquid or gases.

Safety


Transporting

• Be aware of the height, length and width ofimplement. Make turns carefully and be aware ofobstacles and overhead electrical lines.

• Always travel at a safe speed. Do Not Exceed 20M.P.H. (32 kph).

• Use an agricultural tractor that is large enough withsufficient braking capacity so that the weight ofthe loaded equipment towed does not exceed 1.5times the weight of the tractor.

• Use flashing amber warning lights, turn signals andSMV emblems when on public roads.

• Do not transport in poor visibility.

• The slow moving vehicle (SMV) emblem andreflectors must be secured and be visible on themachine for transport.

• Avoid soft surfaces, the additional wing weight onthe centre wheels could cause the machine to sink.

• Ensure safety chain is attached correctly to thetowing vehicle and the hitch of the implement.

• Check that wings are firmly seated in transportwing stops, and lock pins installed.

• Secure transport locks on depth control cylinders.

• Be familiar with and adhere to local laws.

Hydraulics

• Do not search for high pressure hydraulic leakswithout hand and face protection. A tiny, almostinvisible leak can penetrate skin, thereby requiringimmediate medical attention.

• Use cardboard or wood to detect leaks - never yourhands.

• Double check that all is clear before operatinghydraulics.

• Never remove hydraulic hoses or ends withmachine elevated. Relieve hydraulic pressurebefore disconnecting hydraulic hoses or ends.

• Maintain proper hydraulic fluid levels.

• Keep all connectors clean for positive connections.

• Ensure all fittings and hoses are in good condition.

• Do not stand under wings.

Safety


CautionCare should be taken whenworking near the Air Cartwhile the fan is running.Product blowing out of thesystem could causepersonal injury.

CautionKeep service areaclean and dry. Wet oroily floors areslippery. Wet spotscan be dangerouswhen working withelectrical equipment.

Maintenance

• Shut tractor engine off before making anyadjustments or lubricating the machine.

• Block machine securely to prevent any movementduring servicing.

• Wear close fitting clothing and appropriate personalprotective equipment for the job.

• Always wear safety goggles, breathing apparatusand gloves when working on seeder filled withgranular chemical or treated seed per themanufacture’s instructions.

• Do not modify the machine.

Storage

• Store implement away from areas of main activity.

• Level implement and block up securely to relievepressure on jack.

• Do not allow children to play on or around storedimplement.

Levelling - Continued

Final Levelling

In order for any floating hitch cultivator to perform asintended, it must be properly levelled. To properly levela floating hitch cultivator, the final levelling must bedone in the field with ground conditions being firmand unworked.

If the floating hitch cultivator is levelled in preworked,soft conditions, the front may dip when working inharder conditions. This causes the back row of shanksto work shallower than the front and by using thecultivator in this manner can result in the following:

1) The finish of your field can be rough and uneven.

2) The back row of shanks can ridge. When used inconjunction with an Air Cart this could result inuneven seed depth and strips may appear.

Note: Each operator is responsible for levellingtheir floating hitch cultivator. As fieldconditions vary, fine tuning is left to theoperator’s discretion.

Final levelling requires the following six basic stepsto be followed:

1) Rephase hydraulic depth system.

2) Pull the unit 100 feet (30 m) at the desired depth atapproximately 2 m.p.h. (3.2 kph). Stop the unitin the ground.

3) Check the depth on the main frame, side to sideand front to back. Adjust the main frame cylindercontrol rods as required to level the main frame.

Note: Only do one adjustment at a time, repeatstep 1 and 2 before next adjustment.

4) Once the main frame is level, proceed to each wing(On 5-Section units level the inner wings beforeproceeding to the wings). Adjust wing axle controlrod as required until wing is level side to side withmain frame.

5) Adjust wing gauge wheels to level wings front toback.

6) Pull the unit 100 feet (30 m) at the desired depthtravelling at normal operating speed. Checkmachine level and make any adjustmentsnecessary by repeating steps 3 through 5.

ImportantFinal Levelling is

“VERY IMPORTANT”It is suggested that the operator read carefullyand carry out the procedures exactly asdescribed.

Side to Side

Front to Back

Note: Only do one adjustment at a time.

Note: Do not use stroke control collars to levelmachine.

Operation


Depth Stop Adjustment

The Morris CONCEPT 2000 floating hitch cultivator isequipped with mechanical depth stops. Themechanical depth stops ensures positive depth of eachframe section, unaffected by any leaks in the system.(i.e. leaking couplers, internal cylinder leaks, etc.)

The Morris CONCEPT 2000 floating hitch cultivator isalso equipped with depth stop valves. The depth stopvalves provide the operator quick easy one point depthadjustment.

Mechanical Depth Stop

• Ensure depth stop valve plungers do not closebefore stroke control collars are fully seated.

• Stroke control collars should all be adjusted evenly.

• To increase or decrease the working depth, adjustall the stroke control collars evenly across thewhole machine.

a) 1 turn on the col lar changes the depthapproximately 3/16” (5 mm).

b) 6 turns on the col lar changes the depthapproximately 1” (25 mm).

• The optional spacer may be required when seedingshallow. These spacers are available under partnumber S25999 through the Parts Department.

Rephasing

• Raise machine fully, holding hydraulic lever forseveral seconds to phase the system.

• This will maintain equal pressure, cylinder stroke,and synchronize cylinders.

• It is recommended that the unit be rephased ateach turn on the headland.

Oil Level

The hydraulic system draws its oil supply from thetractor reservoir.

• Check the oil level after the cultivator system hasbeen filled.

• Refer to tractor operators manual for moreinformation.

Note: Stroke control collars should all be adjustedevenly. The machine should NOT BE leveledwith collars.

Stroke Control Collars

COLLAR LOCK

Operation


Depth Stop Adjustment - Continued

Hydraulic Depth Stop

• When using the depth stop valves, consistentmachine depth depends on whether the valves areclosed or open.

If they are closed the operating depth will remainconstant.

If the depth stops are not closed then cylinderfading will occur. This will give the impression thata cylinder is leaking and will cause the unit to runout of level.

Always ensure the depth stops are closed byholding the hydraulic lever momentarily longerafter the cultivator has reached its preset workingdepth. Do not rely on tractor detente.

• Ensure mechanical depth stops do not contactcylinder collars before depth stop valve plungersclose fully.

• To increase or decrease the working depth, movethe depth control rod as desired so the depth stopplunger will be depressed when the desired workingdepth is acquired.

• Do not overtighten rod tightener. The depth valveoperates hydraulically and very little pressure isrequired on the poppet to stop oil flow.

Depth Stop Valves

ImportantIt is essential the valves be engaged whilecultivator is moving forward, NOT WHILE THEMACHINE IS STATIONARY. This will ensureconsistent closing of the valve poppets.The valves should remain engaged at alltimes while working in the field. If the aboveis not followed, the cultivator will creepdown, which will eventually lead to certainsections going deeper than others.

Operation


Hydraulic Depth Control System

Three Section Models

The hydraulic depth control system is a series system.

To lift the cultivator, hydraulic fluid is forced into thebutt end of cylinders 1 and 1A. This causes the pistonrods to extend, pivoting the rocker tube and rotatingthe main frame wheels down. This causes the mainframe to raise.

Simultaneously, hydraulic fluid is forced from the glandend of cylinders 1 and 1A to the butt end of cylinders2 and 2A, causing them to extend, pivoting the rockertube and wing frame wheels down. This causes thewings to raise.

Finally the fluid exits the gland end of cylinders 2 and2A into a common line and then to the tractor.


To lower the cultivator, hydraulic fluid flows throughthe cylinders in the reverse direction to that describedabove, until the stroke control collars seat firmly onthe gland end of the cylinders. This causes the flowof oil from the tractor to stop.

With the stroke control collars firmly seated, thecylinders will hold this working depth until the tractorhydraulic controls are activated to lift the cultivator.


To lower the cultivator, hydraulic fluid flows throughthe cylinders in the reverse direction to that describedabove, until the depth stop plate depresses theplungers on the two depth valves A and B. This causesthe poppets to seat and stop the flow of oil from thetractor.

With the poppets seated, the depth stop valves willhold the cylinders this working depth until the tractorhydraulic controls are activated to lift the cultivator.

Five Section Models

The hydraulic depth control system is a series system.

To lift the cultivator, hydraulic fluid is forced into thebutt end of cylinders 1 and 1A. This causes the pistonrods to extend, pivoting the rocker tube and rotatingthe main frame wheels down. This causes the mainframe to raise.

Simultaneously, hydraulic fluid is forced from the glandend of cylinders 1 and 1A to the butt end of cylinders2 and 2A, causing them to extend, pivoting the rockertube and wing frame wheels down. This causes theinner wings to raise.

Hydraulic fluid is forced from the gland end of cylinders2 and 2A to the butt end of cylinders 3 and 3A, causingthem to extend, pivoting the rocker tube and wingframe wheels down. This causes the outer wings toraise.

Finally the fluid exits the gland end of cylinders 3 and3A into a common line and then to the tractor.


To lower the cultivator, hydraulic fluid flows throughthe cylinders in the reverse direction to that describedabove, until the stroke control collars seat firmly onthe gland end of the cylinders. This causes the flowof oil from the tractor to stop.

To lower the cultivator, hydraulic fluid flows throughthe cylinders in the reverse direction to that describedabove, until the depth stop plate depresses theplungers on the two depth valves A and B. This causesthe poppets to set and stop the flow of oil from thetractor.

With the poppets seated, the depth stop valves willhold the cylinders this working depth until the tractorhydraulic controls are activated to lift the cultivator.

Operation


Hydraulic Wing Lift System

Three Section Models

The hydraulic wing lift system is controlled by a parallelsystem.

To lift the wings, hydraulic fluid is forced from thetractor through a common line to the gland end ofcylinders 1 and 1A, simultaneously forcing bothcylinders to retract and lift each wing. The wing framerequiring the least amount of pressure will raise first,followed by the other wing frame.

While the wings are being raised, hydraulic fluiddisplaced from the butt end of the cylinders returnthrough a common line to the tractor.

To lower the wings, hydraulic fluid is allowed to flowinto the butt end of both wing lift cylinders, causingthe wings to lower. Hydraulic fluid from the glandends of the cylinders is forced through a common lineback to the tractor.

Operation


Hydraulic Wing Lift System

Five Section Models

The hydraulic wing lift system is controlled by a parallelhydraulic system with a pressure compensated flowcontrol valve (FCV) manifold integrated in the circuitto synchronize the raising and lowering of the wings.

To lift the wings, hydraulic fluid is forced from thetractor through a common line to the manifold. Thefluid is divided in the manifold and flows to the glandend of each cylinder on both sides of the circuit. Theforce required to retract the cylinders marked #1 isgreater then the force required to retract the cylindersmarked #2. Therefore the #2 cylinders retract firstraising the outer wings. When the #2 cylinders arefully retracted then the #1 cylinders retract lifting theinner wings.

While the wings are being raised, hydraulic fluiddisplaced from the butt end of the cylinders iscombined in the FCV manifold and returns through acommon line to the tractor.

To lower the wings, hydraulic fluid flows opposite tothat described for the lifting operation. Fluid is dividedin the FCV manifold and flows into the butt end of alleight cylinders simultaneously. The force required toextend the #1 cylinders is less than the force requiredto extend the #2 cylinders. Therefore, the #1 cylindersextend first to lower the inner wings. When the #1cylinders are fully extended, the #2 cylinders thenextend to lower the outer wings. While the wings arebeing lowered, hydraulic fluid displaced from the glandend of the cylinders is combined in the manifold andreturns through a common line to the tractor.

Operation


ACCUMULATOR

Hydraulic Trip

Accumulator System Operation and Pre-Charge Information

• Always relieve hydraulic pressure from the systembefore performing maintenance or repairs.

Note: Accumulator stores pressure even whendisconnected from tractor.

• The gas bladder in the hydraulic accumulatorshould be pre-charged with dry nitrogen gas beforebeing mounted on a tillage unit.

• Different accumulator pre-charge pressures willallow for different ranges of trip out force, as shownin the following chart.

• Pre-charge pressure should be set for the mostcommon working conditions.

HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID HAZARDTo prevent serious injury or death:

• Relieve pressure on hydraulic systembefore servicing or disconnecting hoses.

• Wear proper hand and eye protection whensearching for leaks. Use wood or cardboardinstead of hands.

• Keep all components in good repair.

Operation


• To determine approximate trip out force in poundson each shank, divide the system hydraulicpressure in the accumulator circuit by 2.

For example: A system hydraulic pressure of 1000psi (6895 kPa) would be approximately 500 lbs (227kg) trip force at each shank.

Note: Due to the variation of friction effects, thistrip force is approximate.

• Maximum operating pressure can be set by dialingthe reducing valve in to increase allowable pressure,and dialing it out to decrease allowable pressure.This adjustment is done in order to set a maximumworking pressure; pressure can be decreased belowthe set point and increased back up to the set pointon the go from the tractor.

1.Begin by dialing the adjustment all the way outon the reducing valve .

2.Dial the reducing valve setting in 1 full turn.

3.Operate the tractor remote to pressurize theaccumulator circuit (ensure the ball valve in thecircuit is open to allow flow). Once the pressurehas stopped climbing check the system pressureon the gauge.

4.If the pressure in the system is high enough toachieve the desired trip out force, setting iscomplete. If the pressure is too low, repeat steps2 and 3 until the desired pressure is achieved.

5.If the system pressure is too high, relieve thecircuit pressure using the tractor remote, andthen dial the reducing valve adjustment outincrementally. Repeat step 3 until the desiredsystem pressure has been reached.

• If on the go trip force adjustment is not desired,the ball valve at the gauge bracket can be closedafter setting the accumulator system pressure inorder to prevent slow pressure bleed off over time.

Operation


General Guidelines

The result obtained from the Morris CONCEPT 2000floating hitch cultivator are directly related to the depthuniformity of the unit. Poor levelling, worn shovels,uneven tire pressures, and bent shanks must beavoided to obtain optimum field results.

• Operating depth should be uniform at all shanklocations, when spot checking the implement inthe field. See levelling and rephasing procedure.

• Repair or replace bent shanks. Bent shanks causeshovels to work at uneven depths and can causeunnecessary ridging. See Maintenance Section

• Keep tire pressure at the listed specifications tomaintain proper level. See Maintenance Section

• Avoid sharp turns. Turns sharp enough to causethe inside shovels of the unit to reverse directionare not recommended. This may cause the seedboots to plug.

TAKE SAFETY SERIOUSLY.Do Not Take Needless Chances!

Lubrication

Greasing pivot points prevents wear and helps restrictdirt from entering. However, once dirt does enter abearing, it combines with the lubricant and becomes anabrasive grinding paste, more destructive than grit alone.

• Apply new lubricant frequently during operation toflush out old contaminated lubricant.

• Use a good grade of lithium based grease.

• Use a good grade of machine oil.

• Clean grease fittings and lubricator gun beforeapplying lubricant.

Refer to the photos for grease fitting locations.

1. Hubs

• Grease every 500 hours.

2. Gauge Wheel Castor Pivot


3. Main Gauge Wheel Lower Link Pivot


4. Stroke Control Collars

• Clean and Grease threads at end of season.

Maintenance

Contact your nearest Dealer for genuine repair parts.Dealers carry ample stocks and are backed by themanufacture and regional associations.

Note: Extreme care must be taken to maintain aclean hydraulic system. Use only newhydraulic fluid when filling reservoir.

Hydraulics

Refer to Section 1 regarding hydraulic safety. In addition:

• Inspect hydraulic system for leaks, damaged hosesand loose fittings.

• Damaged Hoses and hydraulic tubing can only berepaired by replacement. DO NOT ATTEMPTREPAIRS WITH TAPE OR CEMENTS. Highpressure will burst such repairs and cause systemfailure and possible injury.

• Leaking cylinders - install a new seal kit.

• Fittings - use liquid Teflon on all NPT hydraulic joints.Do not use liquid Teflon or Teflon tape on JIC orORB ends.

• Hydraulic Hose Connections - when connecting thehoses to the cylinders, tubing, etc. always use onewrench to keep the hose from twisting and anotherwrench to tighten the union. Excessive twisting willshorten hose life.

• Keep fittings and couplers clean.

• Check the Tractor Manual for proper filter replacementschedule.

Removing From Storage

• Review Operator’s Manual.

• Check tire pressure (Refer to Tire Pressure List)

• Clean machine thoroughly. Remove coating fromexposed cylinder shafts (Refer to Cylinder ShaftProtection).

• Lubricate grease fittings. (Refer to LubricatingSection).

• Tighten all bolts to proper specifications (Refer toBolt Torque Chart).

Cylinder Shaft Protection

The steps summarized below should be followed whenprotecting chrome plated shafting on equipment:

• Position the equipment as it will be stored, andidentify all the exposed portions of the chromeplated shafts.

• Clean dirt and dust from the exposed portions ofthe shafting using a dry cloth or a cloth which hasbeen dampened with an appropriate solvent.

• Prepare a mixture of 60% oil-based rust inhibitorand 40% Kerosene. Apply a thin coating of thismixture to the exposed surfaces of the chromeplated shafting. No. 1 fuel oil may be substitutedfor Kerosene. A cloth dipped in the mixture can beused to apply the coating.

• Inspect the shaft surfaces after six months andapply additional corrosion preventative mixture.

• If the equipment is to be moved and then storedagain for an extended period of time, the stepsabove should be repeated for all shafts that werestroked during the move.

• Before retracting the cylinders the protectivecoating should be removed, to prevent fine sandand dirt that has accumulated in the coating, fromdamaging the shaft seal. Under no circumstancesshould sandpaper or other abrasive be used toclean the surfaces. Plastic or copper wool incombination with an appropriate solvent will removemost of the dirt.
