Preparation and Setup
This section helps you prepare your tractor and TurboMax for use, and covers tasks that need to be doneseasonally, or when the tractor/Turbo Max configurationchanges.
Before using the Turbo Max in the field, you must hitch itto a suitable tractor, inspect systems and level the TurboMax. Before using the Turbo Max for the first time, andperiodically thereafter, certain adjustments andcalibrations are required.
Prior to Going to the Field Checklist
Complete this checklist before routine setup: Read and understand “Important Safety
Information” on page 1.
Check that all working parts are moving freely, bolts are tight, and cotter pins are spread.
Make sure your tractor horsepower matches the implement you are pulling. This is important so the implement can do the best possible job.
Clean all hydraulic couplings and connect to tractor, see “Hydraulic Hose Hookup” on page 14.
If machine is folded, remove the transport pins from wing stops and open wing lock valve. (DO NOT remove pins if the wing is leaning against the pins or putting pressure on the pins. Use the hydraulics to pull the wings in completely before unpinning them.) Once the pins are removed, slowly unfold the unit. Make sure no one is under the wings during the unfolding process.
Check again for hydraulic leaks and watch that hoses do not get pinched in hinges, wing stops, etc.
After the machine is completely unfolded, raise and lower the Turbo Max several times to purge air from the hydraulic system. Again check for hydraulic leaks and tighten or replace if necessary.
Check safety chain hookup. Make sure all warning lights are hooked up and functioning correctly.
Check that all grease fittings are in place and lubricated. See “Lubrication” on page 33. The hubs will come pre-greased and will not need greased at this time.
Check that all safety decals and reflectors are correctly located and legible. Replace if damaged. See “Safety Decals” on page 5.
Inflate tires to pressure recommended and tighten wheel bolts as specified. See “Tire Inflation Chart” on page 35.
Put transport locks in place, and refold the machine slowly. Put wing stop pins in place and close wing lock valve. Always use the transport pins when moving from field to field. You are now ready to go to the field.

Hitching Turbo Max to TractorHitch to a tractor for highway transport or fieldoperations. Hitch to a leading implement only for fieldoperations. Do not transport behind another implement.
Before hitching, check the compatibility and capability ofthe towing tractor or implement:
• The 1800-3000TM Turbo Max is a pull-typeimplement equipped with a standard Category IVsingle tang hitch. It may be converted to aCategory III or clevis hitch using supplied accessoryparts, see “Clevis Hitch” on page 15.
To prevent soil compaction on rows, set tractor wheelsbetween rows. For hillsides and steep slopes, set tractorwheels as wide as possible for maximum stability.
2. For TWO-WHEEL DRIVE and MFWD tractors, pindrawbar in fixed center position for field andtransport. For FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE and TRAC-DRIVE tractors, leave one hole clearance on eachside of drawbar for field position, hitch damage mayoccur if pinned solid. Pin in center position fortransport to maintain maximum steering control.
Refer to Figure 3
3. Use jack to raise and lower turbo max tongue.
4. Back tractor draw bar into alignment with hitch .
5. Secure with a locking hitch pin.
6. Secure safety chain to an anchor on the tractor.
Negative Tongue Weight Hazard:Make certain that turbo max is securely hitched to the tractoror leading implement before unfolding. An unhitchedturbo max can tip over backwards during folding and unfoldingif the tongue is not secured.
Refer to Figure 4
7. Retract jack foot. Re-orient jack to storage position.
8. After hitching tractor to turbo max, store jack onstorage stob on Turbo Max tongue.
Load Sway Hazard:
9. Lock drawbar swing to center position to minimize anyside-to-side sway to assure proper tracking in the field,and safe road travel. See “Transport” on page 25, forsafe transporting.

Electrical HookupRefer to Figure 5
Your Turbo Max is equipped with North American Lights.
Plug the lighting connector into the tractor outlet.
Test the lights and signaling prior to highway movement.
Hydraulic Hose HookupGreat Plains hydraulic hoses are color coded to help youhookup hoses to your tractor outlets. Hoses that go tothe same remote valve are marked with the same color.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:Shut down tractor before making hydraulic connections.Only trained personnel should work with system hydraulics.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure topenetrate the skin causing serious injury. If an accidentoccurs, seek immediate medical assistance from a physicianfamiliar with this type of injury.
Use paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check forleaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggleswhen working with hydraulic systems.
Refer to Figure 6
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, referto hose label.
• The hose with an extended-cylinder symbol feeds acylinder base end.
• The hose with a retracted-cylinder symbol feeds acylinder rod end.
Secure hoses and cables so that they have sufficientslack for hitch movements, but cannot get caughtbetween moving parts of tractor, turbo max or hitch.Failure to safely route and secure hoses and cablescould result in damage requiring component repair/replacement, and lost field time.
Clean all hydraulic couplings and hook hoses to tractor.

Hydraulic Down PressureRefer to Figure 21
Note:This setup procedure is for tractors with closed-center or pressure compensated flow hydraulicsystems. Open center hydraulics not supported.Adjust down pressure valve as shown on decal (located on front of left truss) Refer to Figure 22.
37. Engage the hydraulics (continuous flow) down.
38. From the cab, adjust the flow so the needle on thebypass gauge is in the green zone 1000-1500PSI.
39. At the valve, adjust the valve to set your initialdown pressure (usually 300-400). Do not exceed800 PSI.
40. If the wings run high during operation, increasepressure. If the center runs high, decrease pressure.If no pressure is needed, move valve in tractor to“FLOAT” position.
Notice: When operating machine with the blades inangled position it is generally unnecessary to apply wingdown pressure. Only in very hard ground will wing downpressure be necessary.
Caution: When not operating with live down pressure thefold system must be in “FLOAT” position. Failure tooperate in either float or active down pressure willdamage the fold system. see your tractor operator’smanual to set system to “FLOAT” position if necessary.
Caution: This machine is designed for continuoushydraulic flow to the wing fold cylinders during fieldoperations. It is for use on tractors having CLOSEDCENTER hydraulics only.

1800-3000TM Table of Contents Index Operating Instructions 25
Transport
Loss of Control Hazard:Do not tow the turbo max behind another implement on publicroads. Tow the turbo max to the field with a separate vehicle.The leading implement may not provide sufficient lateralcontrol of a trailing implement at highway speeds. The totalweight of the train can also exceed the steering and/or brakingcapability of the tractor. The resulting accident could causeserious injury or death.
Loss of Control Hazard:Use an adequate towing vehicle. Never tow an implement thatweighs more than 150% of the towing vehicle (transportvehicle must weigh at least 67% of implement). Ensure that thetowing vehicle is adequate for the task. Using an inadequatetow vehicle is extremely unsafe, and can result in loss ofcontrol, serious injury and death.
Braking and Loss of Control Hazard:Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Slow down on rough roads.
Transport StepsKnow your implement weight. If tractor capabilities aremarginal, check actual weight of implement at a scale.1. Check that implement is securely hitched to a
sufficient tractor (page 13).
2. Always use a locking-style hitch pin sized to matchholes in hitch and draw-bar, and rated for the load.
3. Attach safety chain to tractor with enough slack topermit turning (page 13).
4. Verify correct operation of lights.
5. Install transport locks, wing fold pins and close winglock valve (page 16).
6. Check that tires are properly inflated (page 35).
7. Plan the route. Avoid steep hills.
8. Always have lights on for highway operation.
9. Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Comply with allnational, regional and local laws when traveling onpublic roads.
10. Remember that the implement may be wider thanthe towing vehicle. Allow safe clearance.

Field OperationThis implement is designed to be pulled in the field withthe machine engaged (including wide turns). Lifting for
short distances to clear residue clogs is acceptable.Lifting for tight turns or reverse moves is required.
Equipment Damage Risk:Lift for tight turns and reverse moves. Tight turns can result in a section moving backward. Never back up with harrows in theground. If the inside tire stops or rolls backward, the turn is tight and requires lifting.

General Operation and In-Field AdjustmentsPrior to Operating the Turbo Max1. Raise the machine fully so the lift cylinders no
longer rest on the transport lock channels , Refer toFigure 25. Remove transport lock channels and storeon the bars above.
2. Remove the wing transport pins Refer to Figure 26and store in the spools on the wing rest bar. Openthe wing fold valve located under the depth stopbracket.
3. Unfold unit being sure that the fold cylinders are fullyextended. You may increase flow rates during thefolding and unfolding procedure but be sure to slowthe flow rates back down once the unit is unfolded.
4. When operating the Turbo Max with the bladesrunning at an angle, it is generally unnecessary tooperate with hydraulic down pressure to the wings.Only in very hard ground will down pressure beneeded. If down pressure is needed, see “HydraulicDown Pressure” on page 22 for initial setup, If nodown pressure is needed, set the fold hydraulicsystem to the “FLOAT” position at this time.
5. When operating the blades in the straight position,down pressure is necessary, usually between 200and 400 psi.
Note:Never leave tractor valve centered when unfoldedwith machine in motion. Machine damage mayoccur when wings flex. The hydraulic downpressure cylinders have no wing flex capabilityand oil flow is required when the wings flex up ordown. You must have the tractor fold hydrauliclever in continuous downward flow or “FLOAT”position before the wings can flex over terrain inthe raised or lower lift position.
Hitch TurnbuckleNote: If possible have someone observe the machine
during the initial operation for levelness - bothfront to rear and center to wings. Adjust each asneeded.
Refer to Figure 27
6. For front to rear, either extend or shorten the frontturnbuckle on the leveling system by looseningjam nut with turnbuckle wrench (stored on rearpegs of hitch). Adjust turnbuckle until level front toback. Re-tighten jam nut after machine is level.Never run the machine lower (deeper) in the rearthan in the front.

7. As far as leveling the wings to the center section, ifthe wings were pre-leveled as shown in “WingAdjustment” on page 18, then further adjustmentshould be done with the down pressure setting. If thewings are running low, back off the down pressure. Ifwings are running high, increase the down pressure,see “Hydraulic Down Pressure” on page 22,forcomplete down pressure adjustment. If no downpressure is being used, set the wings to match thedepth of the center Refer to Figure 28. Start byloosening jam nut with turnbuckle wrench (storedon rear pegs of hitch). Turn the turnbuckle toadjust. (Shorten turnbuckle to run shallower,lengthen to run deeper).
8. The Turbo Max may be operated with the gangsrunning from 0-6 degrees. Changing this angle doesaffect the operation of the unit in a couple of ways.As indicated above, if the blades are operated at anangle, down pressure is generally unnecessary.Also, operating speeds will need to be less whenoperating with the blades angled 3-6 degrees.Operating speeds should be from 6-8 mph whenoperating gangs in the angled position and from 8-10mph when operating in the straight position.
9. In a first time operation, it is generally best to operatethe unit at a slight angle to the rows. If the unit isused as a secondary pass it is recommended tooperate the unit at a slight angle to the previoustillage pass. This will improve trash flow andincrease the leveling capability.
10. Refer to Figure 29. Once the machine is level and setto the desired depth, set the depth stop at the frontof the machine to ensure that the unit will operate ata consistent depth every pass. After setting the stop,if a change of depth is desired, 1 full turn of thehandle either in or out will change the depthapproximately 1 4” up or down respectively.
Note:Slight tire to ground pressure should bemaintained to prevent cylinder pin and cleviswear. If after setting the depth stop, the detent onthe tractor kicks out before the stop contacts thebutton on the depth stop, slow the hydraulicflow speed down. If this problem exists, contactthe factory service representative for otherpossible adjustments. On tractors with a timeddetent setting, set the detent so when you raisethe machine, the pump will run for 1 2 to 1 fullsecond after full raise. If it runs longer than this,damage to the seals of the lift cylinders mayresult.
11. Varying the angle on the gangs will also change theresults of your operation. It is recommended tooperate the Turbo Max with the gangs in the straightposition when this is your last pass ahead of theplanter or grain drill. This will leave the best possible
seedbed for planting. It is not recommended tooperate the tool at a depth deeper than the intendedplanting depth.

12. Situations that may require the operator to angle thegangs would be in a field that requires the unit to bemore aggressive as far as moving soil such asleveling ditches, filling in sprayer tracks, moreaggressive weed control, etc. In these instances, thegangs may be angled as needed to level the groundand remove problem weeds. In the fall, the gangswould be angled to make the unit more aggressive tocover more residue. This will tie the residue to thesurface and enhance the breakdown of the residue.Also in very hard ground, the angled gangs will allowthe unit to penetrate better.
13. The Turbo Max is a versatile tool that allows theoperator to make changes from the cab of the tractor.It is important to remember the relationships betweengang angle, speed and wing down pressure. Whenoperating the gangs at an angle, slow down (6-8mph) and set wing fold system to “FLOAT”. Whenoperating gangs in the straight position, speed up (8-10 mph) and set the wing fold system to activehydraulic down pressure.
Gauge Wheel AdjustmentRefer to Figure 30
Note:Gauge wheels are not necessary on all machines.Rolling terrain or terraced ground are conditionsthat may require a gauge wheel. The gaugewheels should never be in constant contact withthe ground. They should operate at a position 1 2”to 11 2” above the ground.
14. Once the machine has been adjusted and set to thedesired working depth, you may now adjust the gaugewheels.
15. Start by loosening set screws on each gaugewheel. Turn jack handle , to adjust spindle receiver
. To lengthen the spindle receiver (turn counter-clockwise), to run wheel closer to ground, to shortenthe spindle receiver (turn clock-wise) to run furtheraway from ground.
16. After adjusting gauge wheel to position needed, re-tighten the set screws .
17. If the overall depth of the machine is adjusted,especially if it is set deeper, remember to readjust thegauge wheels.

Setting the Rolling Harrow and ReelRefer to Figure 31
18. The rolling harrow and reel attachment is a veryversatile leveling attachment and requires very littleadjustment. The rolling harrow sections come presetat 22 degrees and should not need to be modified. Insome severe conditions at high speeds, somewindrowing may occur and the gang angle may needto be reduced slightly. When adjusting this, becareful to maintain adequate clearance betweensections in the field position as to not cause damageto the units.
19. The reel down pressure may be adjusted byremoving the pin and then either pushing thehandle forward to increase the spring pressure orby pulling the handle backwards to decrease thespring pressure . When the desired amount ofspring pressure is set, re-insert the pin . Note: It isrecommended to run little or no down pressure inwet or sticky field conditions.
Refer to Figure 32
20. The bars on the reels are angled forward andshould be installed as such on the machine. In someconditions in which a firming of the soil is moredesirable than breaking up clods then these reelscan be mounted in reverse . This does howeverincrease the chance of causing damage to the barsin rocky soil.
Be sure reels are installed with twisted bars oriented forward as shown. Mounting in reverse can damage reel in rocky
soil.

Maintenance and Lubrication
MaintenanceProper servicing and maintenance is the key to longimplement life. With careful and systematic inspection,you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime, and repair.
Always turn off and remove the tractor key beforemaking any adjustments or performing any maintenance.
Crushing Hazard:Always have transport locks in place and frame sufficientlyblocked up when working on implement. You may be severelyinjured or killed by being crushed under the falling implement.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before applying pressure.Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible.Use paper or cardboard, not body parts, and wear heavygloves to check for suspected leaks. Escaping fluid underpressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin. Ifan accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance from aphysician familiar with this type of injury.
1. After using your turbo max for several hours, checkall bolts to be sure they are tight.
2. Clean turbo max on a regular basis. Regular andthorough cleaning will lengthen equipment life andreduce maintenance and repair.
3. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication” onpage 28.
4. Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safetylabels by obtaining new labels from your GreatPlains dealer.
5. Check and tighten or replace any hydraulic leaks.Check hoses for any leaks. It is important that thereare no leaks on the equipment.
6. Check drag bolts for loosness or excessive wear.Your drag is an important part of the tillage operation.
7. If your machine is stored outdoors over the wintermonths, it is a good idea to fold the machine then setit down on the ground so all the cylinder areretracted to protect the cylinder rods. This will extendthe life of the cylinder seals and reduce internal andexternal leaks. By following and maintaining aroutine service and lubrication program, your tillageequipment will give you many years of service.
