Assembly Instructions
Before You Start
Most accidents are the result of negligence and
carelessness, usually caused by failure of the operator to
follow simple but necessary safety precautions.
Allow no one to work on or use a row cleaner before
carefully reading this manual.
Sharp Object Hazard:
Row cleaner tines are sharp. The edges of row cleaner wheels
are sharp. UMC blades are sharp. Wear gloves when handling
these parts. Maintain awareness of installed coulters and
row
cleaners when working in front of row units.
Perform these steps before installing your row cleaners.
1. Read and understand “Important Safety
Information” starting on page 1.
2. Hitch the implement to a suitable tractor. Refer to the
hitching topic in the Operator Manual.
3. Position the implement in a level, dry, well-lighted
area. Pick a location with a clear surface beneath, so
that any dropped tools or parts can be easily located.
4. Unfold the implement.
5. Raise the row units (or leave them raised).
6. Install any lift locks provided.
Set all hydraulic circuits to neutral.
7. Shut off the tractor. Set the parking brake.
General Assembly Instructions
Start mounting with the left-most row unit of the
implement. Single-arm row cleaners are provisioned as
left and right hand pairs. Start with a left hand row
cleaner, and alternate left-right-left-right across the
implement.
Some fasteners may be loosely assembled. Remove
them before mounting that component. Due to evolving
manufacturing practices, some assemblies may already
be completely pre-assembled. If so, check that fasteners
are tight, and skip the unneeded assembly steps.
Torque values for fasteners are shown on page 20.
Wheel bearings are pre-greased and should not require
additional lubrication until the first service interval.
Tools Required
• Basic hand tools, including an extension for any socket
or air wrench to be used
• Screw thread adhesive, such as Loctite
