SECTION 4 – SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS — SUPERWEEDER
When center section tines are properly spaced and secured, install tube clamps to prevent tubes from moving from side to
side. Position tube clamps by taking advantage of places where an S-tine serves the same purpose on the opposite side of
lift arm. Four tube clamps are provided for each section.
After all tines are mounted, install connecting levers and links, centering them between tines at location indicated on the
schematics. Secure connecting levers in place with 1/2” u-bolts. Secure connecting links with 1/2” x 2-1/4” bolts and lock
nuts.
Refer to figures 15 and 16 and position hydraulic cylinder levers and plates, securing with four 5/8” x 4” bolts, lockwashers
and nuts.
TRANSPORT WHEELS:
Position wheel assemblies between the last two lift arms on the 25’, 28’ 29’, 33’, 35’, 39’ and 42’ models. On the 47’, 50’, 55’,
56’, 58’ and 70’ models, install them between the second and third lift arms from end of the wing. Secure in place using two
5/8” x 5-1/2” bolts, lockwashers and nuts (See Fig. 1).
NOTE: Transport wheel brackets are made for left and right sides and are not interchangeable.
IMPORTANT: The positioning of the transport wheel assemblies on the wing tubes of the machine is very critical in
determining hitch weight. Moving transport wheel assemblies forward will increase hitch weight and moving rear-
ward will decrease hitch weight. See the “Warning Regarding Machines With Negative Hitch Weight” (page 1-2) for
more information.
CABLES
Install cable brackets and cables as shown in figures 1 and 2. Secure brackets using 3/4” U-bolts, lockwashers and nuts.
Clamps must be placed so wings pull evenly and slightly lead center. On the 55, 56, 58 and 70 foot models, two pull cables
are used on each side.
IMPORTANT: On machines with two cables per wing, the cables must be adjusted to have equal tension.
WING TUBE JACK BRACKETS
These brackets allow mounting of hitch jacks on wing tubes for added machine stability under conditions where hitch tongue
is “light”. Secure using 5/8” U-bolt provided (Fig. 6 on Page 3-4).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING EXTENDED S-TINES
Extended S-tines are most often installed at the S-tine locations behind tractor tires. In this case do not install extended S-
tines in the center of the machine (this includes the one in the center and 3 others on each side). These seven S-tines cover
the 4 ft. between the tractor tires.
Install half of the total number of extended S-tines ordered on each side of the center seven S-tines. Usually 22 extended S-
tines are installed when machine is pulled with a tractor with duals. Installing 11 on each side covers about 6 ft. of tractor
tracks.
