WARNING!
Obey all safety instructions from lifting equipment manufacturer.
Do not walk or place any part of the body under the raised sec-
tions. Be sure transport stands are securely attached prior to lift-
ing. Be sure lifting equipment has enough capacity to lift sections.
1. Remove the implement sections from the truck and
place them on the ground.
2. With all stacks securely on the ground remove the u-
bolts from the bottom of the shipping stand on the
highest sections so that the stand remains attached to
the upper section.
3. Carefully lift the section off of the stack and place it on
solid, level ground or concrete if available.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with each section, placing the
sections approximately in the position for assembly.
5. Use the hoist or forklift to position adjacent sections so
that the holes in the clevis line up with the holes in the
pivot tubes.
!
WARNING!
Do not place any part of the body between the frame sections
when aligning holes or severe injury may result.
NOTE: Each implement section in a stack can weigh
2100 pounds with 7” row spacing and spring reset
openers. Each 9 1/2’ wing section used on 34’ imple-
ments weighs approximately 2400 pounds.
NOTE: Be sure that the pivot bushings are in place in
the pivot tubes before positioning sections.
6. When the holes are aligned install the pivot clevis bolts
(#2) in place and secure them with 1” nylock nuts (#1).
When installing the bolts install so that the flat section
of bolt head is aligned with the square stock on the
clevis.This is to prevent the bolt from rotating in the
clevis, refer to Figure 2-1.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all sections are bolted
together.
Flex Limiter Bars
Refer to Figure 2-2:
1.
Position the flex limiter bars so that the slots line up with
the holes in the lugs near the center of the implement.
2. Install the 7/8” x 3 1/2” bolts (#1), 7/8” flat washers
(#2), 7/8” flex limiter bar space tubes (#6), flex-limiter
bars (#3), 7/8” lock washer (#4), and 7/8” nut (#5) at
each end of tube. The flex limiter bars should be free
to move from side-to-side on the bolts.
