•
To increase the gap, shorten the rod.
•
To decrease the gap, lengthen the rod.
C. Install the rod with the bolt and the locknut, and
test the clearance again.
D. Repeat this procedure until the gap is correct.
3. Tighten the locknuts that secure the spring rod until
1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm) of the threads are
showing to apply tension to the spring (Figure 19).
1. 1/4 to 1/2 inches of threads showing (6 mm to 13 mm)
Note: Adjusting the spring rod will vary the lift effort
of the system; the longer the bolt ends, the easier it will
be to lift the toolbar. Adjust the springs so that the
lift force is comfortable. The greater the tension on
the assist spring, the less ground pressure there will be
on the toolbar.
4. Install the right-hand wheel shroud.
5. Install the rear tires and remove the blocks from under
the rear of the machine.
Note: Torque the lugs nuts to 45 to 55 ft-lb (61 to
75 N-m).

Adjusting the Toolbar
Transport Height
No Parts Required
Procedure
1. Position the lift handle to the transport position (upper
most notch).
2. Rotate the eccentric bolt either direction until the
toolbar tines are parallel to the notch in the lift arm
(Figure 17 and Figure 21).
Figure 20
Important: The eccentric bolt will not rotate 360
degrees. When it stops, do not attempt to force
it further or you will damage it. Instead, rotate it
back the other direction.
1. Desired position, parallel
to the lift arm notch
3. Torque the center pivot bolt (item 4 in Figure 13) to
175 to 225 inch-lb (20 to 25 N-m).
4. Tighten the nut that secures the eccentric bolt until it
is secure, but do not over-tighten it.
5. Test the operation of the attachment.

Leveling the Toolbar
Parts needed for this procedure:
1
Shim (Part no. 110-7379)
1
Shim (Part no. 110-7380)
1
Shim (Part no. 110-7381)
Procedure
Once the toolbar has been installed and the fasteners are
tightened, use the following procedure to verify that the
toolbar teeth are level:
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Check the pressure of all tires and ensure that they
are equal. Refer to the Operator's Manual for more
information on checking the tire pressure.
3. Lower the toolbar until the teeth just begin to make
contact with the ground.
4. If the teeth of the toolbar contact the ground evenly,
the toolbar is level.
Note: If the teeth on one side of the toolbar contacts
the ground before the other side, level the toolbar.
Continue leveling by following the remainder of this
procedure.
