TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY

(2) 9/16" Wrenches

(2) 1-1/8" Wrenches or Adjustable Wrenches

(1) 1-5/16" Wrench or 12" Adjustable Wrench

CAUTION: THE CULTIVATOR TANGS HAVE SHARP POINTS. USE CARE WHEN HANDLING AND ASSEMBLING THE TANGS. WEAR GLOVES FOR EXTRA PROTECTION AGAINST CUTS.

Remove all loose parts and the hardware package from the shipping carton. Lay out and identify each part and the hardware as shown on pages 2 and 3. Be sure the carton is empty before it is discarded.

1.Attach two depth gauge bars to the frame using a 3/8" U-bolt and two 3/8" Nylock hex nuts for each bar. Put each depth gauge bar next to each out- side tang on the rear of the frame as shown in figure 1. Use the holes in each bar that will give the desired working depth, if known at this time. Use matching holes in both depth gauge bars to keep the cultivator level.

NOTE: For effective depth control a depth gauge bar must not be located directly behind a front tang.
