Shank Installation
See Figures 2-3 - 2-10  for shank placement dimensions. 
Verify that all shank clamps are properly installed.
1.
Install shanks in clamps (See Figure 3-15.)
a.
Spring clamp assembly - Install shank in clamp 
using 5/8-11 X 1-3/4 round head square neck 
screw and flange lock nut provided.
b.
Install shank clamp, 1/2-13 x 3-1/4 hex head cap 
screw, and hex lock nut across bottom of shank 
clamp weldment.
c.
S-tine clamp assembly - Install shank in S-tine 
spring using 5/8-11 X 2-1/4 hex head cap screw 
and hex lock nut provided.
2.
Install sweep on shank with 7/16-14 X 1-1/2 plow 
bolt, washers, and nuts provided. Note that the flat 
washer is only used in the lower slotted sweep hole.
NOTE
Spring shank assemblies with frame extensions (front 
bar) are mounted reversed for narrower shipment. These 
shanks must be removed and turned forward for proper 
operation. See Figures 2-3 - 2-10 for proper placement. 
After shanks have been reversed, verify that springs 
have been set to the proper tension. Adjust the spring 
until there is 1/8” gap between the top of the mount and 
locking jam nut on top of the spring (See Figure 3-16.) 
Lock the jam nut against the top of the spring, not the top 
of the mount.
