We ask you to be that kind of an operator. It is the operator's responsibility to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating instructions in the manual and to follow these. Accidents can be avoided. How to Install Safety Signs: 4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, and the manual for your power unit, before assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself with the machines. If this machine is used by any person other than yourself, or is loaned or rented, it is the machine owner's responsibility to make certain that the operator, prior to operating: a. Reads and understands the operator's manuals. b. Is instructed in safe and proper use. 5. Know your controls and how to stop power unit engine and machine quickly in an emergency. Read this manual and the one provided with your power unit. 6. Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. Be certain only a properly trained and physically able person will operate the machinery. A person who has not read and understood all operating and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the machine. An untrained operator exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated. 4 2. Replace safety signs that are missing or have become illegible. 4. Safety signs are available from your Dealer Parts Department or the factory. • Be sure that the installation area is clean and dry. • Be sure temperature is above 50°F (10°C). • Determine exact position before you remove the backing paper. • Remove the smallest portion of the split backing paper. • Align the sign over the specified area and carefully press the small portion with the exposed sticky backing in place. • Slowly peel back the remaining paper and carefully smooth the remaining portion of the sign in place. • Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out using the piece of sign backing paper. 2.4 OPERATING SAFETY 1. Read and understand the Operator’s Manual and all safety signs before operating, servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging. 15. Always know the area you are ditching. Never operate Ditcher in an area that has hidden obstacles. 2. This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be a responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in the ditcher's operations. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit unless they have developed a thorough understanding of the safety precautions. 16. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery.

Do not operate the tractor and machine until you have read and completely understand this manual, the tractor operator's manual, and each of the safety messages found on the safety signs on the tractor and machine. 2. Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement. Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be around equipment. 3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without equipment attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial hearing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator's position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery. 4. Operate the machine only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over-Protective Structure (ROPS). Always wear your seat belt. Serious injury or even death could result from falling off the tractor ---particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS or the tractor. 5. Clear working area of stones, branches or hidden obstacles that might be hooked or snagged, causing injury or damage. 6. Do not operate ditcher where there is a chance of buried utilities. Check with local authorities on location of utilities before ditching. CALL BEFORE YOU DIG D09 7. Operate only in daylight or good artificial light. 8.

Fig. 12 CLEVIS 23 4.8 FIELD OPERATION OPERATING SAFETY • Read and understand the Operator’s Manual and all safety signs before operating, servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging. • Lower machine to ground, place all controls in neutral, stop engine, set park brake, remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging. • Never exceed a safe travel speed when transporting. • Use hazard flashers when transporting. • Remove sticks, stones, wire and other objects from working area before starting. • Install and secure all guards before operating. • Do not point discharge at people, animals or buildings. Objects from discharge can seriously injure or kill. • Keep hands, hair, feet and clothing away from moving parts during operation. • Stay at least 100 m (300 feet) away from discharge when operating. Keep others away. • Do not allow riders. • Keep away from fan and kicker shaft when engine is running. • Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children before starting. • Wear appropriate hearing protection for prolonged exposure to excessive noise. The Wolverine Extreme Ditcher is used in the field for the drainage of surface water by forming ditches, waterways or for forming terraces. Before starting, the operator has the responsibility of being familiar with all operating and safety procedures and following them. Each operator should review this section of the manual at the start of the season and as often as required to be familiar with the machine. When using, follow this procedure: 1. Review the Pre-Operation Checklist (Section 4.4) before starting. 2. Attach the tractor to the machine (see Section 4.7). 3. Before going to the field, review Section 4.9 Transporting. 4. Pull into the field and position the machine in a level area. 5. Lower into working position. 24 Fig. 13 FIELD 6. Starting: a. Run the engine at low idle. b. Slowly engage the PTO. IMPORTANT The input driveline is designed with 2 shear bolts in the yoke just ahead of the gear box. Fast engagement of the PTO clutch could shear the bolts and require the operator to stop and replace them. c. Be sure to push the PTO clutch lever over center to fully engage the PTO. d. Slowly bring the throttle up to full. e. Start moving slowly forward and lower the machine into the ground. Fig. 14 STARTING Fig. 15 STOPPING Fig. 16 CLUTCH LOCATION 7. Stopping: a. Stop forward motion. b. Raise the machine out of the ground. c. Run until all material has moved through the machine. d. Slowly decrease engine speed. e. Slowly disengage PTO clutch to allow the fan to slow and stop. 8. Emergency Stopping: Stop forward motion, disengage PTO clutch and stop engine or just stop engine if an emergency arises. WARNING Place all controls in neutral, lower machine, stop engine, set park brake and wait for all moving parts to stop before dismounting. 9. Over-Running Clutch: Each ditcher is designed with an over-running clutch that allows the fan to continue to rotate if/ when power is removed. The clutch is located at the front end of the second input shaft. The over-running clutch automatically allows the fan momentum to run down when power is stopped. 25 10. Machine Hazard Area: Stay away from the sides of the machine when it is running. The ditcher can throw objects 100 m (300 feet). Keep others away. The fan can pick up stones, sticks, wire and other debris and throw it out with enough force to severely injure bystanders. Stay out of shaded area. Keep others out. Shut down machine and wait for moving parts to stop before approaching machine. Fig. 17 MACHINE HAZARD AREA Fig. 18 FIELD Fig. 19 GRADUAL TURN (Typical) 11. Ground Speed: The machine works well when operated at 1 to 4 mph (1.6 to 6 kph) in most conditions. Raise or lower the blade to control the load factor. Use ground speed in conjunction with depth to operate tractor at 80% to 90% load factor. 12. Turning Under Load: The ditcher is designed and equipped with a large, high-capacity driveline to provide an acceptable life in the expected operating conditions. Unfortunately a constant velocity (CV) feature is not available for the high-capacity driveline. 26 This means that turns or corners under load of more than 25° will substantially reduce the expected life of the driveline. Any turns under load of more than 25° require the driveline to be turned off. Most of the applications involve a gradual turn under load to follow the ground contours for terracing or building ditches. Turn the PTO off, make the sharp turn or corner and straighten out before re-engaging the PTO. 13. Depth: The operator controls the position and depth of the cutting blade during operation. Adjust or set the depth of the cutting blade in combination with the travel speed to load the tractor to 80-90% load factor. Increase the load factor by increasing travel speed or increasing the depth of the cut. Decrease the load factor by raising the cutting blade or reducing travel speed. 14. Ripper Fingers: The ripper fingers are mounted on the cutting blade to break up the hard soil into smaller pieces and help direct it into the kicker shaft components and into the fan. They are mounted with plow bolts and can be removed to prevent leaving ruts or to reduce tractive loading. 15. Kicker Shaft: The ditcher is designed with a kicker shaft positioned above the cutting blade to help break up the material loosened by the cutting blade and to move the material into the fan. a. Paddles are mounted on the kicker shaft brackets to push the material into the fan. b. Fingers are mounted on the kicker shaft brackets to both break up the material and move it into the fan. Both paddles and fingers are mounted at an angle to convey the material toward the centerline of the frame as it moves into the fan. d c e b f a a - Cutting Blade, b - Ripper Fingers, c - Kicker Shaft, d - Outer Scraper Kicker Shaft Paddles, e - Kicker Paddle, f - Kicker Shaft SIngle Finger Fig. 20 DEPTH / CUTTING BLADE 16. Fan Gate: The ditcher is designed with a moveable gate with an opening that can be slid around the outside of the fan to position the opening next to the chutes. It is used to direct the flow left or right. Right Discharge Left Discharge Fig. 21 FAN GATE 27 17. Chutes: The machine is equipped with 2 chutes that control the distance material is thrown from the machine. IMPORTANT Use the "Gate" hydraulic circuit to move chutes into the next configuration. The hydraulic valve is designed to move the chutes and then the gate with an internal sequencing feature. Hold the control until the circuit goes completely through its cycle. Right NOTE The chutes are of different lengths. The top chute is "long" and the side chute is "short". Left Left Terracing Fig. 22 CHUTE POSITION 28 18. Ditching: Use the machine to form channels for draining fields. It can be used in either wet or dry field conditions. Ditching with water standing in the field allows the operator to see the low spots and drive accordingly. Throw Left Throw Right Fig. 23 DITCHING 19. Replaceable Cutting Blades: The machine is designed with a bolt-on cutting blades that can be replaced when it is worn or damaged. Be sure to tighten mounting bolts to their specified torque when changing the cutting edge. a. Intake blade. b. Right side. c. Left side. a Intake Blade b Right Side c Left Side Fig. 24 REPLACEABLE CUTTING BLADES 29 20. Multiple Passes: In situations that require the removal or moving of a large quantity of soil for ditching, draining or terracing, multiple passes are recommended. Remove the soil a little at a time to form a smooth contour on the sides of the channel. This will allow other machinery to move over the channel without interfering with operation or damaging it. Use the chutes and direction to form terraces or let the soil fly to distribute it evenly over the adjacent field area. Channel Building Terrace Building Chute Left Chute Right Fig. 25 MULTIPLE PASSES 30 21. Terracing: Set the chute(s) to place the soil material next to the ditcher to build terraces/ditches. Make multiple passes to build a berm of earth along the contour of the land. Use the chute hydraulic circuit to position the chute in its down position while the gate is open for the chute. Re-configure chute(s) and gate when travelling in the opposite direction. Terracing - Right Side Terracing - Left Side Throw Right 22. Hitch Clevis: The hitch is designed with an adjustable clevis can be used to adjust the angle of the cutting blade. The clevis can be moved up or down one position to change the angle of the blade. It comes from the factory set in the middle position. Fig. 26 TERRACING Fig. 27 HITCH CLEVIS 31 23. Drive System Component Protection: a. Shear Bolts (2013 and earlier): The machine was designed with 2 shear bolts in the input driveline yoke in front of the gear box to protect against damage from shock loads. IMPORTANT Increasing or decreasing PTO RPM rapidly can break shear bolts. Change engine speed slowly to decrease driveline loading. Ditcher NOTE All shear bolts must be 3/8" x 2 1/4 " grade 8 to provide the required protection. A 2 1/4" bolt will have the shank of the bolt at the shearing plane. A shorter bolt will have threads at the shearing plane and not provide protection. Schematic - Shear Bolts (2013 & Earlier) Always use a locknut or double nut on the bolts to insure the required clamping force is maintained across the shear plane in the yoke. Always check the integrity of the shear bolt holes when replacing bolts. When holes are enlarged, replace yoke. b. Slip Clutch (2014 and later): A slip clutch is positioned in the input drive system in front of the gearbox to protect against damage from shock loads. It is preset at the factory and does not require servicing and cannot be adjusted. Slip Clutch (2014 & Later) Fig. 28 DRIVE SYSTEM COMPONENT PROTECTION 24. Auto Clutch: The machine is designed with an overload clutch drive only by the top sprocket of the chain drive system turning the kicker shaft to protect against damage from overloads. It is set at the factory when new and is not serviceable. Stop immediately when the auto clutch releases. Determine the cause of the overload and correct it before returning to work. Field Cover Off Fig. 29 AUTO CLUTCH 32 25. Intake Wear Components: Both the kicker shaft and bottom and side cutting blades can be changed when worn. e a. Cutting Blade: This component on the front of the frame cuts through soil and lifts it into the fan. When the bevel on the leading edge wears off replace the cutting blade. b. Rippers: These components mount to the bottom of the cutting blade and are used to break up the hardpan and/or soil in front of the machine. Remove when a smooth cut is required. Replace when they have worn down 25 mm (1 inch). c. Kicker Shaft: This shaft extends across the front of the fan intake area and is used to mount the components that move material into the fan. f c a g d b e e b b f e g a - Cutting Blade, b - Ripper Fingers, c - Kicker Shaft, d - Outer Scraper Kicker Shaft Paddles, e - Kicker Paddle, f - Kicker Shaft SIngle Finger g - Side Cutting Blades Fig. 30 INTAKE WEAR COMPONENTS d. Outer Kicker Shaft Paddles: The 2 outer kicker shaft paddles are dished to sweep and clean the material from the sides of the intake and move it to the center into the fan. Replace paddles when they have worn down 25 mm (1 inch). e. Kicker Shaft Paddles: These components are used by the kicker shaft to move the material toward the center of the frame and into the fan. Replace when they have worn down 25 mm (1 inch) and no longer move the material as required. f. Kicker Shaft Fingers: These components work with the paddles to break up the soil and move it into the fan. Replace when they have worn down 25 mm (1 inch) and are no longer effective in breaking up the soil or moving it into the fan. g. Side Cutting Blades: The intake area is designed with a cutting blade on each side to provide a clean cut through the soil. Replace these blades when they have worn down 25 mm (1 inch). 33 26. Fan Paddle Wear Bars: Each fan paddle is equipped with a replaceable wear bar that wears rather than the paddle frame. Replace the wear bar whenever the wear pattern is affecting the machine performance and the wear bar has run out of adjustment. Set each wear bar to have a 3 mm (1/8 inch) clearance to the fan frame for the best performance. Wear Bar Clearance Fig. 31 FAN PADDLE WEAR BARS DANGER PINCH POINT Fan carries huge momentum. Do not attempt to stop by hand. D08 34 27. Fan Housing Wear Liner: The fan is designed with replaceable wear liners to protect the frame. It is the responsibility of the customer to monitor the condition of the wear liners and replace them before the wear affects the frame. a. Fan Housing Liner. The fan housing is designed with a 3 - piece liner that allows for easy replacement. Replace liner when the heads of the plow bolts get shiny. When they get shiny, they are starting to wear down. This can only happen when the liners have worm away to expose them to the fan. 3 - Piece Liner Plow Bolts (Typical) Fig. 32 FAN HOUSING LINER b. Gate Liner. The gate forms the upper portion of the fan housing and is also designed with a replaceable liner attached with plow bolts. Replace the liner when it has worn down enough to shine the heads of the plow bolts. Gate Plow Bolts Fig. 33 GATE LINER 35 c. Chute Liners. B o t h c h u t e s a r e d e s i g n e d w i t h replaceable liners to prevent damage to the chute frames. Replace when the heads on the mounting hardware has worn off.

Tilt Angle: A tilt gauge is mounted on the front frame to indicate to the operator the frame angle while working. It will have a lot of motion as the machine moves across the working area but will be an indicator. Fig. 36 TILT GAUGE 37 30. Operating Angle: The ditcher is designed to operate at an angle while ditching to match the application. Use the rear wheel frames to set the frame angle. a. Use the "lift" circuit to place the frame in the middle of its height position. NOTE The "lift" circuit moves each wheel position cylinder the same amount. Level b. Use the "tilt" circuit to raise or lower the left wheel frame cylinder to set the angle of the frame. IMPORTANT Always start with the frame in its mid-height position before changing the frame angle. Angled Left c. Use the tilt gauge on the front frame as a guide when monitoring the frame angle during operation. Angled Right Fig. 37 OPERATING ANGLE 38 31. Reverser / Unplugging: Although the ditcher is designed with a large capacity and heavy-duty components, it can be overloaded or plugged. Generally the intake area of the kicker shaft and associated compnents plug with dirt from overloading or if a large object/obstruction is encountered. Follow these typical steps depending on the conditions: a. Overloading: Slow the travel speed or raise the cutting blade to reduce the depth of the cut. Use ground speed and depth to control the load factor. b. Plugging: Generally plugging occurs in the intake area under the kicker shaft due to overloading or encountering an obstruction. In most cases the auto clutch will release and the kicker shaft will stop turning. No material will be moved into the fan. Stop forward motion and back up to allow fan to clear itself. If the fan does not clear itself, stop the PTO. Use the reverser to move material out of the intake area. Remove the obstruction (if required) before resuming work. Intake Area Reverser - Not Engaged c. Reversing: The machine is designed with a hydraulically powered reverser located on the left end of the kicker shaft. Remain in the cab and use the hydraulic controls to reverse the kicker shaft system. When sufficient material has been removed from the intake area, engage the PTO, clear the intake area and resume work. Reverser - Engaged Fig. 38 REVERSER / UNPLUGGING 39 32. Safety Locks: The ditcher is designed with 2 types of safety locks that should be engaged when transporting or servicing the machine. Always use the safety locks when appropriate. a. Wheel Frame Locks: Each wheel mounting frame is designed with a lock bracket to hold the frame in its up position. Raise the frame into its fully up position to install or remove the lock bracket anchor pins and retainers. Always install the lock brackets before transporting or working under the frame. Stow the lock brackets under the frame when not in use. Engaged WARNING Install frame lock before transporting or working under frame to prevent damage, serious injury or death. D06 Stowed Fig. 39 WHEEL FRAME LOCKS b. Hood Lock: The ditcher is designed with a large hood that is hinged and covers the center gearboxes in the frame. A rubber latch on each side holds the hood in its down position during operation, transporting and storage. The lift of the hood is assisted by a gas cylinder toward the front of the hood. In addition to the gas cylinder, a lock bracket is designed to go over the cylinder rod to hold the hood in its up position. Always engage the lock whenever the hood is in its up position. Engaged WARNING Install lock bracket around air cylinder rod before working under center guard to prevent serious injury or death. D07 Stowed Fig. 40 HOOD LOCK 40 33. Operating Hints: a. The machine can be used in standing water. The water will be moved along with the mud and soil. Fig. 41 STANDING WATER Fig. 42 MACHINE HAZARD AREA Fig. 43 MULTIPLE PASSES b. Stones up to 5 inches (125 mm) or so can be handled by the machine. Just be sure that buildings, animals or people are not in the discharge path. It is recommended that larger stones be removed before starting if they are in the working area. c. To form a drainage system that will allow other equipment to travel across the ditch without damaging the machines, it is recommended that more than one pass be made to make a wide channel. If it needs to be deeper, make another pass down the center. d. Set the ground speed and machine depth to give an 80% load factor on the engine for normal operating conditions. Using a tractor equipped with a CVT or IVT transmission with Power Sense provides the best performance in the field. 41 e. Use the fan gate to direct the material to the left and right as required for ditching or building terraces. Use the chutes to control the distance the material is moved. Chute Right Chute Left Fig. 44 MATERIAL FLOW Fig. 45 GPS / RTK MOUNTING BRACKET f. The ditcher is designed with a bracket on the frame to mount a GPS / RTK receiver for controlling the depth of cut that is being taken. Combining a GPS / RTK with a tractor with a CVT or IVT transmission will provide the optimum field performance. g. Do not operate ditcher where there is a chance of buried utilities. Check with local authorities on location of utilities before ditching.

Add oil through the fill/breather plug as required. d. Install and tighten fill/breather plug. Level Plug (Typical) 5. Changing Oil: a. Use a suction pump to remove the oil from each gearbox. b. Remove the fill/breather and level plugs. c. Fill with 11 liters (11.7 US qt) of 85W90, synthetic or equivalent gear oil. Fig. 67 GEARBOXES d. Use level plug to be sure oil is at correct level or look in the top. b. Check that the vent passage through the plug is open. e. Install and tighten fill/breather and level plugs. c. Soak in a solvent if plugged. d. Use a high-pressure air hose to blow the passage open. Use a probe to clear the passage if the hole is caked with dirt. e. Install and tighten the breather plug. f. Dispose of used oil in an environmentally safe manner. 6. Cleaning Breather: Each gear box is equipped with a breather in the fill plug to equalize the internal pressure to the atmosphere and prevent leaks. Clean the breather when the oil is changed. Fill / Breather Plugs a. Remove the fill plug/breather. IMPORTANT Always clean the breather if any leaks are noticed around the shafts. 57 5.2.4 FAN PADDLE CLEARANCE The fan is designed with adjustable wear bars on the end of the paddles that can be moved to maintain the proper clearance between the paddles and the frame. The best performance is obtained when the clearance gap is set and maintained at 3 mm (1/8 inch). Check weekly or when power requirements increase. To check or adjust the wear bars, follow this procedure: 1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children. 2. Place all controls in neutral, stop engine, set park brake, remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to stop before dismounting. Fig. 68 FAN PADDLE WEAR BARS 3. Loosen anchor bolts or wear bar. 4. Slide or tap wear bar into desired position. 5. Tighten anchor bolts to their specified torque. DANGER 6. Manually turn the fan through 360° (paddle moves upward) and check for interference. 7. If contact is heard, move bar back slightly. Turn again. 8. Repeat with other paddles. 9. Tighten all fasteners to their specified torque. PINCH POINT Fan carries huge momentum. Do not attempt to stop by hand. D08 NOTE When the bar wears so much it can no longer provide 3 mm (1/8 inch) clearance, it should be replaced with genuine Dynamic Ditchers parts. 58 5.2.5 INTAKE WEAR COMPONENTS The kicker shaft and intake are designed with replaceable components to allow the operator to change them when they wear.
