Operation
Before hitching harrow to your tractor, make sure all safety devices are installed on the
tractor.
Please follow all safety instructions and procedures.
Attach equipment to tractor.
Be sure the tractor is equipped with the correct category hitch pins, top link, etc.
Be extremely careful when positioning tractor to hitch to the equipment.
Caution!
Never allow anyone between the tractor and the equipment during the hitching
process.
Adjust cutting depth.
Be sure the tractor engine is off, key is removed, and all movement of the tractor has stopped before
dismounting to make adjustments.
Using the center link adjustment and the lift arms of the tractor, set the equipment so that the front and
rear gangs are cutting at the same depth. The left-to-right pitch is obtained by adjusting the lift
arms. Set the lift stop at the required position to maintain a uniform depth.
Operating speed
Proper operating speed for equipment will depend upon the soil conditions and the particular
application.
Warning! Avoid personal injury. Never allow anyone to ride on the tractor or harrow.
Remember: The safe operation of this equipment is the responsibility of the operator. The operator
should be familiar with both the tractor and the equipment. He should read and understand all
applicable operator manuals and follow all safety practices.
