2. Remove two 1/2”x3” bolts (2) securing tine (1) if working on the Left-Hand Gang or tine (5) if working on the
Right-Hand Gang.
3. Examine removed hardware for wear. Replace worn hardware with new hardware if required.

STORAGE
Your implement represents an investment from which you should get the greatest possible benefit. Therefore,
when the season is over, the implement should be thoroughly checked and prepared for storage so that a
minimum amount of work will be required to put it back into operation for the next season. The following are
suggested storage procedures:
1. Thoroughly clean the implement.
2. Lubricate the implement as covered on
Lubrication Information.
3. Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.
4. Check the implement for worn or damaged parts. Make replacements immediately.
5. Store the implement in a clear, dry place with the implement housing resting on blocks.
6. Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the
implement.
