Procedure to mount Hydraulic Tine Angle Adjustment Option
Summers Mfg. recommends mounting the hydraulic tine angle adjustment option on the Superharrow
Plus while machine is in transport position. The following instructions and photos refer to machine in
transport position. Reference to left and right are determined when machine is viewed from the rear.
1. Tooth angle on each section must be set in least aggressive (45 degree) setting prior to installation
of hydraulic tine angle option.
2. Park machine on a hard level surface in transport position and install transport locks.
CAUTION: For safety purposes, block wheels and frame to prevent movement of machine while
working on it.
3. Replace section pipes (or entire
section if included) on the right
hand section on the machine center.
These pipes (or section) have left
hand levers which are required to
connect hydraulic tine angle adjust-
ment. Refer to hydraulic tine angle
layout drawing for pipe locations.
Reassemble left hand adjustment
linkage (mirror image of right hand
adjustment linkage).
4. Remove hardware from second and
third levers.
Attach stiffener flat (8HD7100) to third lever using 1/2” x 2-1/2” bolt, washers and locknut.
Install connecting tube (8HD7080) to second lever using 1/2” x 6” bolt, washers and locknut.
Do not overtighten 1/2” locknuts as levers must be free to rotate.
