ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: SAFETY GUIDELINES
 WEAR PROPER ATTIRE WHEN ASSEMBLING HARROW.
 Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid entanglement in equipment. Wear sturdy,
rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing and head.
 HANDLE THE DISC GANG COMPONENTS WITH CARE.
 The disc blades are sharp and could cut hands, feet, etc. Use chock blocks to prevent the gang
assembly from rolling on surfaces before assembly to the frame. Wear gloves when handling the disc
blades or gang assemblies.
 Disc blades and gang components are heavy and can be awkward to handle during assembly of the
gang. Two-person gang assembly is recommended. Use overhead lifting device or other supports if
necessary to ensure safe assembly of the disc gang.

SUPPORT THE FRAME ASSEMBLY DURING ASSEMBLY.

Support the harrow frame with stands or lifting devices that are in good condition and that are capable
of handling the weight of the assembly. Be sure that the supports are on a clean, dry surface.
 PURGE AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BEFORE OPERATION.
 After connecting the hydraulic lines, carefully cycle the hydraulic cylinders several times to purge air
from the hydraulic system. Visually check all connections for leaks before cycling the hydraulic
cylinders.
 NEVER USE YOUR HANDS TO CHECK FOR HYDRAULIC LEAKS.
 Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin causing serious
personal injury. If injured by escaping hydraulic fluid, obtain medical treatment immediately.
