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 procedures. Remove paint from
grease fittings and replace any that are damaged or
missing. Be sure to return bolts, clips, etc. to their original
locations.

leave the nuts loose until completion of final
assembly. Use lockwashers or flat washers 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 recommended torques shown in
Table 2-1 and Table 2-2. Tighten all U-bolt legs evenly.
