Page 4: Safety
SAFETY TAKE NOTE! THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL FOUND THROUGHOUT THIS MANUAL IS USED TO CALL ATTENTION TO INSTRUCTIONS INVOLVING YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. THIS SYMBOL MEANS ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! - Page 5 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 6: Before Operation
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. Do not attempt to mount tires unless you have the proper equipment and experience to do the job. Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous. -
Page 7: During Operation
During Operation: SAFETY CHAIN - If equipment is going to be transported on a public highway, a safety chain should be obtained and installed. Always follow state and local regulations regarding a safety chain when towing farm equipment on a public highway. Be sure to check with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. -
Page 8: Highway And Transport Operations
Do not park equipment where it will be exposed to livestock for long periods of time. Damage and livestock injury could result. Do not permit children to play on or around the stored unit. Highway and Transport Operations: Make sure all transport lock provisions are in place and jack/parking stands are in their storage position before transporting the unit. -
Page 9: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS To maximize the unit’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. The best results will be obtained after the paint has been scoured from the soil engaging components. Transporting the unit Getting the unit ready for transport (figure 1) Lift the entire unit up and fold the wings into the wing rests. - Page 10 Figure 2 Setting disk gang depth (figure 3) Adjust the hitch turnbuckle (1) with the turnbuckle wrench (2) provided to level the unit from front to back. This ensures that the disk gang is set at the same depth as the spiral reels. Make a note of the mark on the depth gauge (3) that is located on the turnbuckle lock (4).
- Page 11 Figure 3 Setting the center disks (figure 4) Adjust the center disks inward or outward to prevent ridges or gaps from forming in the center of the unit. The angle of the center disks can also be changed by loosening the back bolt of the mounting bracket and twisting to the desired angle.
- Page 12 Adjusting the harrow section aggressiveness (figures 5 and 6) In the least aggressive direction there are three attachment points for the pull chains on the harrow section. Moving it up will cause the section to lay more flat (less aggressive) and moving it down will cause the teeth to stand up more straight (more aggressive).
- Page 13 Figure 7 * Adjust the spring tension just tight enough to prevent it from loosening and falling out when in the raised position. Set the rolling basket height by lowering the unit onto a flat surface and adjusting the basket to just touch the ground. During operation the spring should only lightly stretch, approximately 1/16”...

The manufacturer will not claim responsibility for damages as a result of the use of unapproved parts. If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, the manufacturer does not accept any liability for injury or warranty. - Page 15 Disk Gang & Blades It will be necessary to check and tighten the disk gang arbor bolts to prevent excessive wear. It is recommended that the gang arbor bolts be tightened to a torque between 600 and 800 ft-lb. A torque of 600 ft-lb would be equivalent to using a 4’...
