its corresponding gang beam. Gangs assem-
bled with an outrigger washer should be placed
on the rear gang beams with the washer facing
outward. Gangs with relube bearings should be
placed with the grease fitting pointing to the
rear of the unit. Only hand tighten hangers to
the gang beams. Gangs will need to be adjust-
ed later. To correctly adjust the spacing between
the rear gang assemblies, drop a plumb bob
from the rear of the main frame directly under
the center of the center beam. The proper dis-
tance from the center of the center beam to the
rear tip of a 22” disk blade is 4” (Photo 27). To
correctly adjust the spacing between the front
gang assemblies, drop a plumb bob from the
front of the main frame directly under the center
of the center beam. Adjust the gang assemblies
so the front disk blades of each gang assembly
slide plate and through the bushing in the gang
beam. Attach nut & washer and tighten (Photo
24). Please see Bolt Torque Chart (Page 45) for
proper torque information. Repeat the same
procedure for the remaining gang beams.
When completing this portion of the assembly
process, be careful handling the large parts.
The components are heavy and dropping them
could lead to serious injury or death.
The next steps will be attaching the gangs to
the gang beams and correctly adjusting each
gang. Gangs and roller baskets are on a
seprate pallet (Photo 25).Cut bands from gang
pallet (Photo 26). Roll a gang assembly under
