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.
2. Attach two mast extension straps to the front of
the frame using two 1/2" x 2-3/4" hex bolts and two
1/2" Nylock hex nuts. Point the bent end of each
strap toward the outside of the frame.
Do not
tighten yet. See figure 2.
CAUTION: THE CULTIVATOR TANGS
HAVE SHARP POINTS. USE CARE
WHEN HANDLING AND ASSEMBLING
THE TANGS. WEAR GLOVES FOR
EXTRA PROTECTION AGAINST CUTS.

straps using two category 1 pins, two 7/8" lock
washers, and two 7/8" hex nuts.
