After striking a foreign object or if there are doubts about the performance of the machine, stop the tractor as described and check if machine is making excessive noise. Extreme caution must be taken when working in public areas (roadsides etc). It is recommended that flaps and chains are fitted to slashers when operating in public areas.
RM80 Trailing Offset Disc Cultivators Gibbins Rawling have been making ploughs since 1878 - over 100 years of experience! The RM 80 offset disc cultivating plough is designed for extremely tough Australian conditions. It is similar to the RM75 with the main difference being in the greater number of bearings and shorter axles in the disc gang assemblies.
MACHINE ASSEMBLY GANG ASEMBLY CAUTION: Due to the size and awkward nature of the trailing discs it is important that all components are adequately supported. As there are a number of sizes of discs available, refer to the attached set-up sheet on the back page in this manual.

WHEEL ASSEMBLY Position the axle (less the wheels) underneath the main frame between the two gangs. The two arms of the axle should be facing forward with the main shaft at the rear. The axle lug (transport lug), which later connects to the hydraulic ram, should be on the right side of the machine when facing the direction of travel.
HYDRAULIC RAM AND HOSES Attach the main body section of the hydraulic cylinder to the bottom hole of the transport lug on the main frame. Connect the extending rod end of the cylinder to the bottom hole of the transport lug located on the wheel axle. Secure with clevis pins and clips. Attach the hydraulic hoses to the ram and fit couplings to the other end of the hoses.

it may be necessary to shift both gangs across so as to transfer the weight away from the side dipping in. Wheel set-up There are a couple of points regarding the setting of the wheel for depth. If the wheels are right in the air whilst cultivating, all the weight of the frame bears on the gang frames.
MAINTENANCE When doing any type of maintenance on this machine, always follow the safety steps described in this manual. Use only authorised genuine parts for replacement. The cultivator must be adequately supported under its body (Make certain it cannot fall). Bolts, Nuts and Bronze Bushes Keep all bolts tight, in particular gang bolts.
