INSTRUCTIONS

TRACTOR/ATV REQUIREMENTS AND PREPARATION

The model FOH-5 spike-tooth harrow is designed for 16 hp or larger garden tractors and ATV’s with an engine size of 250 cc or more.

The harrow is easy to pull and maneuver. It can be turned in tight areas.

The harrow is easily flipped over so it can be trans- ported over lawns or driveways without tearing up the surface.

NOTE: The transport wheels are for use behind the tractor or ATV only. They are NOT designed for road use.

Adjustable spike-tooth harrows do an excellent job of smoothing garden plots, fields, arenas, and landscaping. Harrows will spread manure droppings, grass clippings, leaf litter, and previous crop stubble.

Spike harrows will incorporate fertilizers, herbicides, and broadcasted seed into the soil. They will also remove ridges left by plowing implements and loosen crusted soil.

CAUTION!

Be sure your tractor or ATV is in good condition. Read all the safety precautions and make sure all operators are familiar with the safety rules of operation.

PACKAGING

The model FOH-5 harrow is normally shipped on a single pallet. The harrow section is pre-assembled. The rear part of the main frame will have the wheels installed. The other frame parts will be strapped together. The hardware will be in a box along with the operator’s manual.

ASSEMBLY

Preview the assembly instructions and the exploded view of the harrow in your operator’s manual and become familiar as to how the parts or assemblies go together.

Select an area for assembly that is clean and free from debris.

Do not attempt to lift heavy parts or assemblies. Use a hoist, crane, forklift, or similar safe mechanical device, or another person.

Stand to the side and cut the shipping bands using a pair of sheet metal shears. Remove the parts from the pallet. Open the box containing the hardware and opera- tor’s manual.

Lay the harrow section on a flat surface with the spike- teeth down. Position the rear part of the main frame at the rear of the harrow section (as shown in the exploded parts diagram) and install the two 3/8” x 11/2” bolts, washers, and nylock nuts as shown.

Place the front main frame crosstube assembly at the front of the harrow section and install the two 5/8” x 21/4” bolts, washers, and nylock nuts as shown. Make sure you have a flat washer on each side of both of the harrow section side bars.

Lay the two front to rear angle iron bars onto the har- row section. These bars go under both the front and rear crosstube frames and are just outside the front pull bracket assembly. They attach to the front and rear crosstubes with the 5/16” x 2” square u-bolts.

Position the tongue weldment between the front pull brackets welded to the front crosstube. Install the two 5/8” x 11/2” bolts with washers and nylock nuts as shown in the exploded parts diagram.

NOTE: Nylock nuts are used at locations where some pivoting motion is expected between the bolted parts. It is suggested that nylock nuts be tightened to just a snug fit and then backed off 1 - 11/2 turns.

Install the two 1/2” x 31/2” shift pins to lock the tongue weldment to the front crosstube pull brackets. (This is the position of the pins for transport and to flip the harrow over.) Install the hairclip pins in the ends of the 1/2” x 31/2” shift pins.

NOTE: The two 1/2” x 3” shift pins need to be removed from the crosstube pull brackets for harrowing. This allows the tongue assembly to float. The pins can be stored by locking them in the two inside brackets on the tongue assembly (see lower part of FIG. A).
