OWNER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators who possess basic mechanical skills. For your protec- tion, read and follow all safety information in this manual.
CAUTION!
Do not leave the harrow in a vertical position. The harrow could fall over and hurt someone. If you are placing the harrow in a vertical position to save space for storage, secure the harrow so it cannot fall over.
WARNING!
Always stop the tractor or ATV, set brake, shut off engine, and remove key before attempting to service. Never leave equipment unattended with engine running.
CAUTION!
Always store harrow with the harrow teeth in a flat position so there are not sharp points protruding out or up.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically check all bolts to make sure they are properly tightened. Remember that bolts with nylock lock nuts are pivot points and the nut should be tightened so that the parts can still pivot freely.
NOTE: The nylon plastic ring in the domed head of a nylock nut must fully engage the threads of the bolt to “lock” the nut in position.

Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
Store the unit in a shed or under a tarpaulin to protect it from the weather. The harrow teeth and tires should rest on boards, or some other object, to keep them out of the soil.
Store harrow in a clean, dry place away from human activity or pets and livestock.
Never allow anyone to play near the unit and always store the unit in a safe secure place, preferable in a locked storage shed or fenced area. Never allow anyone to climb or ride on the unit for any reason.
STORAGE
At the end of the working season or when the harrow will not be used for a long period, it is good practice to clean off any dirt that may have accumulated on the implement and any of the moving parts.
Inspect the harrow for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace if needed.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust. Replace any safety signs if damaged or missing.
