DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation
that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme
situations typically for machine components which, for
functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
If you have questions not answered in this manual or require additional copies or the manual is damaged, please
contact your dealer or the manufacturer directly.

uation that, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury, and includes hazards that are

OWNER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. For your protec-
tion, read and follow all safety information in this
manual.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically check all bolts to make sure they are
properly tightened. Remember that bolts with nylock lock
nuts are pivot points and the nut should be tightened so
that the parts can still pivot freely.
NOTE: The nylon plastic ring in the domed head of a
nylock nut must fully engage the threads of the bolt to
“lock” the nut in position.
Harrow tooth nuts and the nuts on the 2” u-bolts should
be fully tightened.
Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
STORAGE
At the end of the working season or when the harrow
will not be used for a long period, it is good practice to
clean off any dirt that may have accumulated on the
implement and any of the moving parts.
Inspect the harrow for loose, damaged or worn parts
and adjust or replace if needed.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Replace any safety signs if damaged or
missing.
Store the unit in a shed or under a tarpaulin to protect
it from the weather. The harrow teeth and tires should
rest on boards, or some other object, to keep them out of
the soil.
Store harrow in a clean, dry place away from human
activity or pets and livestock.
Never allow anyone to play near the unit and always
store the unit in a safe secure place, preferable in a
locked storage shed or fenced area. Never allow anyone
to climb or ride on the unit for any reason.
WARNING!
Always stop the tractor or ATV, set brake, shut off
engine, and remove key before attempting to service.
Never leave equipment unattended with engine
running.
CAUTION!
Do not leave the harrow in a vertical position. The
harrow could fall over and hurt someone. If you are
placing the harrow in a vertical position to save
space for storage, secure the harrow so it cannot fall
over.
CAUTION!
Always store harrow with the harrow teeth in a flat
position so there are not sharp points protruding out
or up.

OBEY ALL
