SAFETY FIRST! Equipment Safety Guidelines Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment.
Page 7: Tire Safety
How to Install Safety Signs:  Be sure that the installation area is clean and dry.  Decide on the exact position before you remove the backing paper. Tire Safety  Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion which may result in serious injury or death.
Page 8: During Operation
 Securely attach to towing unit. Use a high strength, appropriately sized hitch pin with a mechanical retainer and attach safety chain.  Do not allow anyone to stand between the tongue or hitch and the towing vehicle when backing up to the equipment. During Operation: ...
Page 9: Following Operation
Following Operation:  When disconnecting, stop the tractor or towing vehicle, set the brakes, secure the wings in the wing rests, relieve hydraulic fluid pressure, shut off the engine and remove the ignition keys. Make sure all jack and support stands are in place before removing hitch pins. ...
Page 10: Performing Maintenance
 Be observant of bridge loading ratings. Do not cross bridges rated lower than the gross weight at which you are operating.  Watch for obstructions overhead and to the side while transporting.  Always operate equipment in a position to provide maximum visibility at all times. Make allowances for increased length and weight of the equipment when making turns, stopping, etc.
Page 11: Maintenance And Service Schedule
OPERATING SUGGESTIONS There are some important points to remember in order to obtain the best possible results from your McFarlane harrow.  To maximize the harrow’s performance, it should be towed at speeds ranging from six to nine (6 - 9) mph. This keeps the field debris moving through the harrow sections and avoids clogging.
Page 12: Assembly Suggestions
ASSEMBLY SUGGESTIONS  You will find the machine is easier to assemble if the set-up instructions are followed in the order given in the manual.  Before beginning, sort the various bolt bags, hardware bags and hydraulic bags according to what part of the unit that is being setup.
Page 13: Assembly Instructions
STEP - BY - STEP ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Main Frame Assembly 1. Bolt the Square Frame to the A-frame. Use 5/8” x 2” bolts (5/8” x 2 ¼ on 1048 through 1060), lock washers, and hex nuts. 2. Bolt the Axle Brackets to the main frame. Use 5/8” x 2” (5/8” x 2 ¼ on 1048 through 1060) bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts.

Page 15 Attach the wing rests to the square frame. Refer to Figure 4a. Use eight 5/8" x 5" bolts, lock washers, hex nuts and a wing rest clamp plate on each side of the square frame. Do not tighten yet. The distance (“D” in Figure 4.) from square frame splice plate to the wing rest mounting plate varies with the model (note that for models HDL-1048 through HDL-1050 the wing rest is bolted directly to the square frame behind the splice plates): HDL-1040...

Page 17 Figure 7 The remainder of the assembly steps (except for the wing cable attachment and the cable lift attachment) can be done in either the transport or field position. Because most people will assemble the unit in the field position (and it is recommended that you do), for clarity, the following diagrams show the unit in the field position.
Page 18 Figure 8 Install the Wing Hydraulics Refer to Figure 9 and the hydraulic system schematic in appendix B for more details. 1. Insert a 3/8”m – 1/2o-ring elbow with restrictor into each of the base end ports on the 14” stroke cylinders.
Page 19 Figure 9 Harrow Configurations McFarlane harrow sections may be attached in any one of several distinct configurations: 8-bar, 4+4-bar, 12-bar, 6+6-bar, 16-bar, and 8+8-bar. The 8, 12, and 16-bar harrow configurations utilize a single set of pull points located adjacent to the center bar and wings. The 4+4, 6+6, and 8+8-bar harrow configurations (also known as dual sections) also utilize a second set of pull points located at the rear end of the lift arms.

Page 22 Refer to Figure 15 to help clarify what is meant by ‘angle of attack.’ McFarlane flexible harrow sections have a built-in system which allows the harrow owner a choice between a steep or shallow angle of attack. To change the angle of attack, simply reverse the harrow section and pull it from the other end.

Page 26 2. Bolt the lift chains to the bottom of the rear lift tabs of the front harrow sections. Refer to Figure 19. Use ½” x 1 ½” bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts. 3. Make sure that the harrow sections match each other, the angle of attack is correct, and the chains are not twisted.
Page 27 Figure 21 Attach the Wing Cable Lift Assembly 1. Bolt the cable lift bracket to the A-Frame just ahead of the wing cable bracket located on the side of the A-Frame. Refer to Figure 22. Use two1/2 x 4” x 7 1/4” U-bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts.
Page 28 Figure 22 Adjust the Wing Rests Adjust the position of the wing rests so that they provide support to the wings while in the transport position. Refer to Figure 23. Move them either backward or forward on the square frame until the wings rest solidly on the wing rest plate. If necessary, adjust the clevis on the main frame cylinder in/out to move the wings up/down.
Page 29: Final Adjustments
Final Adjustments 1. Unfold the unit into the field position. 2. Pull the completed unit ahead a few feet to check that everything is properly assembled and that nothing is binding or misaligned. 3. Check to make sure that all bolts and fasteners are tight. 4.
