Maintenance - Tar River SLC Series Operator's Manual

SLC Spring Loaded Cultivator
1. All the shovels of the tines should be set at equal depth. To do this, place the cultivator on level
ground and see that all the shovels touch the ground.
2. Before commencing work with a cultivator, check it for loose bolts and nuts and fasten them
properly. After having taken all these precautions, run the cultivator for one hour and then
inspect it once more for any loose parts.
3. Never turn or reverse your tractor while cultivator is ploughed deep in field. This will twist the
assemblies out of alignment and damage them extensively.
4. Reverse or replace the shovel point when worn out. Delay may result in wearing out of the tines
which will result into expensive repairing/replacements. Avoid use of extra wide shovels as they
do not improve tillage quality but only put extra load on the tractor and also result into extra fuel
consumption.

prevention.
