SAFETY - General (Continued)
Handle Agricultural Chemicals Safely
All farm chemicals should be stored, used, handled and
disposed of safely and in accordance with the
supplier’s/manufacturer’s recommendations.
Read the product label before using, noting any warnings
or special cautions, including any protective clothing or
equipment that may be required, ie. respirtor.
Do not eat or smoke while handling sprays, fertilisers, coated
seeds, etc. Afterwards, always wash your hands and face
before you eat, drink, smoke, or use the toilet.
Store sprays, fertilisers, coated seeds, etc. out of reach of
children and pets, and away from food and animal feeds.
Any symptoms of illness during or after using chemicals should
be treated according to the supplier’s/manufacturer’s
recommendations. If severe, call a physician or get the
patient to hospital immediately. Keep the container and/or
label for reference.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Avoid any contact with fluids leaking under pressure, because
the fluids can penetrate the skin surface.
Any fluid which penetrates the skin, will need to be removed
immediately by a medical expert. Seek specialist advice on
this type of injury.
Relieve the pressure before disconnecting any hydraulic or
other lines. Make all repairs and tighten all fittings before
re-connection to pressurised fluid.
Keep your hands and body away from any pinholes or high
pressure jets. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard
instead of using your hand directly.
Safe Work Practices
All farm machinery is potentially dangerous and should be
treated with caution and respect.
Before starting the machine, ensure that all controls are placed
in neutral and that bystanders are well clear. Check that the
guards have been securely fitted and that any adjustments

1 Raise the wings and engage the safety pins for holding the
rams/wings up. When the machine is in the fully raised position,
turn off the shut-off valve on the ram. (Handle at 90
0
to the line.)
2 Locate the jack stand in transport position.
3 Before towing this vehicle, make sure you are familiar with
general and local regulations and restrictions.Oversize signs,
hazard flags, pilot vehicle(s), safety triangle or similar are all
likely requirements.Trailer or flashing lights may be required
even during daylight hours and certainly at night. Ensure the
vehicles (towing & towed) meet requirements before towing.
4
The maximum towing speed is 30 km/hr.
Lower speed restrictions may apply in other countries
please refer to your local transport authority.
5 Braking when towing can cause the load to jackknife.
Use extra care when towing in adverse conditions such as
slippery surfaces, inclines and sharp bends.
6
Attach safety chains to tractor. Refer Fig 1.
Safety chains must be crossed over underneath the coupling
and attached to the towing vehicle. The attachment points must
be as close as practical to the towing coupling and one each
side.The towbar on the towing vehicle must be rated for the
towed mass. Do not remove or replace the safety chains
provided with any other than those specified in the parts
manual.
Note: The safety chains are provided with sufficient length to
cater for all towing vehicles. Safety chains must be shortened by
cutting off excess length at the towing vehicle end so that if the
coupling fails the drawbar will not hit the ground.
5 Ensure the coupling pin is fitted with a security clip and that they
are fitted correctly.

Operation
Attaching Machine to Tractor
1 Use the jackstand to align the hitch point with the tractor.
2 Reverse the tractor into position and place the hitch pin in
the drawbar, making sure to replace the safety lynch pin to
prevent the machine accidentally disconnecting.
3 Place the jackstand in the transport position.
4
Warning: Attach safety chains between tractor and the
machine. Safety chains will help control drawn equipment
should it accidentally separate from the drawbar while
transporting.
5 Plug the hydraulic hoses into the correct tractor outlets.
Remove safety pins from wing rams.
Warning: Ensure people and animals are a safe distance
away from moving parts before running the the machine.
Caution
When operating the cultivator avoid tight turns and allowing
the machine to rock back when stopping. This could break
tines.
Preparing for Use
The setup procedure is designed to ensure that the machine
is level in the working mode and the weight distribution is
correct.
1 The points are reversible so check for wear and reverse if
required.
2 The mainframe should be approximately level in cultivation
mode with points working.
3 Drawbar toggle adjustment may be required to get the machine
level when in working mode.
Run the machine a short distance to see how it levels out. Make
adjustments as required.
4 Set the wing wheel height so the wings are level during
cultivation.
5 Ensure the crumblers are not supporting excessive machine
weight. Too much pressure on the crumblers will raise the
rear of the machine and affect the trim of the cultivator.
14
Operation (Continued)
General Operating Guidelines
1 Use a sufficiently powerful tractor which is heavy enough to
operate the machine safely.
2 When cultivating, typical speeds range from 10-14km/hr in
good conditions. Slower speeds may be more suitable in
less ideal conditions.
Recommended Hp figures are guidelines only and depend
on ground conditions.
3 Raise the cultivator out of the ground before turning, to
prevent tine breakages and excess stress on framework.
4 The crumbler is for breaking clods and reducing ridging, not
for depth control. Excess crumbler loading will overstress
the crumbler and framework, and will produce a lower
performance in minimising ridging.
Detaching Machine from Tractor
1 Tow the machine into your storage area and where possible
fully retract all hydraulic rams. Close the shut-off valve on
the ram (handle at 90
0
to the line.) Insert safety pins on the
wing rams.
2 Turn the jackstand to the vertical position and lock. Take the
load off the drawbar and remove hitch pin and safety chains
as required.
3 Release pressure and disconnect hoses, close tractor outlet
covers and install dust covers over the hose ends.

Maintenance & Care
General Safety & Accident Prevention
1 Make sure that if the tractor remains attached to the drill that
the ignition key is removed.
2 During maintenance the drill should be supported in such a
manner that if hydraulic failure were to occur the machine
would still be adequately supported.
3 Wear gloves when handling components with cutting edges
such as worn discs.
4 Disconnect the electrical supply from the tractor before
doing any electrical maintenance.
5 Refer to the sections on safety for more information.
General Cautionary Maintenance
1 Electric Welding
With the electronic equipment in modern tractors and on
implements, it is advisable to completely disconnect the
implement from the tractor or at the very least disconnect
the alternator before attempting any welding.
2 Hydraulics
Ensure that the hydraulic couplings (male & female) are
clean before connecting. Dirty couplings will result in
hydraulic oil contamination, hydraulic cylinder damage and
bore scores. This in turn will result in oil leakage past the
piston seals.
No filter is fitted to the hydraulic system. If hydraulic fittings
and oil supply are not going to be kept clean it is
recommended that a filter be fitted to prevent hydraulic
cylinder damage.
3 Water Blasting
Water blasting, steam cleaning and other pressurised
cleaning processes can force dirt into undesirable places,
causing damage or rapid wear to parts such as bearings,
seals, chains and bushes. Caution must be exercised.
17
Lubrication Instructions
Lubrication Precautions
Study the correct procedure
before starting work.
Keep the service area clean
and dry.
Only service or lubricate the
machine when it is stationary
and securely supported.
Only service or lubricate the
machine when the hydraulics
are disconnected or isolated
and the working parts are not
powered or moving.

Precautions with Grease
Grease nipples and the grease gun should be carefully cleaned before use to prevent dirt being forced
into the bearings.
Dirty grease should be forced from the bushes and disposed of safely.
Greases should not be mixed as the structure may be weakened by the mixing of different types of
thickener, which may cause softening and loss of grease from the bearings by running out.
Frequency* Check all lubrication points after the first 50Ha and thereafter as per the lubrication
chart. The required greasing frequency is only a guide and is actually dependent on the extent of use,
climate & conditions. More frequent checks may be required.
18
Maintenance & Care (Continued)
Maintenance Scedule
Your new 923 Wideline will give long and efficient service if given
normal care and maintained properly.
1 Bolted Connections
All bolted connections on the machine should be checked after
the first use (or 50Ha) and retightened if necessary and
thereafter at regular intervals to minimise the likelihood of
equipment damage or accident resulting from fasteners
loosening.
It is suggested that this is done annually or after every 500Ha
(Whichever occurs first).
2 S Tines & Tine Points
Check that all tine clamps and points are tight prior to daily
operation.
3 Framework
The framework structure should be inspected annually for
defects, i.e., cracks in members or welded connections. The
framework should be cleaned prior to the inspection.
4 Tyres
Tyre pressure should be maintained at 35psi (2.4 bar).
It is recommended that tyres, as a minimum, should be
inspected for damage and have the pressure checked as part
of a weekly or 250Ha check.
Storage
Before long term storage water blast the machine and remove
mud and excess soil. Whenever possible, the machine should be
stored with the rams retracted. If it is not possible to retract the
ram, a coating of oil or grease should be applied to the ram piston
rods. This must be removed before any future operation.
