ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES

It is very important that your new 1550 Series
In-Row Ripper be properly assembled, adjusted,
and lubricated before use. Illustrations are provided
in this section to show proper assembly proce-
dures. Remove paint from grease fittings and re-
place any that are damaged or missing. Be sure to
return bolts, clips, etc. to their original locations.
To insure assemblies are aligned, insert all
bolts and leave the nuts loose until completion
of final assembly. Use lockwashers or flat wash-
ers where called for. Spread all cotter pins.
After completion of final assembly, tighten all
nuts evenly to prevent misalignment, distortion, or
binding. Tighten all bolts and nuts to the recom-
mended torques shown in Tables 2-1 and 2-2.
Tighten all U-bolt legs evenly.
IMPORTANT
CHECK ALL BOLT LENGTHS, NUT SIZES, ETC.,
FROM THE PARTS BOOK BEFORE ASSEMBLY.
DIFFERENT MODELS OF THE 1550 SERIES IN-
ROW RIPPER USE DIFFERENT SIZE BOLTS.
