Assembly Instructions
It is very important that your new 2000 Series Row Crop
Cultivator be properly assembled, adjusted and
lubricated before use. Illustrations to assist with the
assembly process are provided in Section 2, “Standard
Specifications”. They show proper shank, disc gang
and mounting bracket spacings. Illustrations in this
section show proper assembly procedures. Remove
paint from grease fittings. Replace any grease fittings
that are damaged or missing. Be sure to return screws,
clips, etc., to their original locations.
To insure alignment of assemblies, leave the nuts loose
until completion of final assembly. Use split lock
washers or flat washers as specified. Spread all cotter
pins.
After completion of final assembly, tighten all nuts
evenly to prevent misalignment, distortion or binding.
Tighten all screws and nuts to the recommended torques
shown in Table 2-1.

Assembly Preparation
1. Hook up the cultivator to a tractor using the
three-point hitch. Raise the cultivator about 36" and
place stands under the main frame to prevent
accidental lowering.
To prevent accidental lowering:
1. All hydraulically elevated equipment must be
locked out using the cylinder lockouts:
2. Lower equipment to the ground while servicing
or when it is idle.
Failure to take measures to prevent accidental
lowering may result in serious personal injury or
death.
Be sure to bleed the hydraulic system of all air in
lines after installation. Failure to bleed the system
of all air can result in permanent equipment
damage.
Coulter blades are extremely sharp. Exercise
extreme care when working on or near disc
blades. Do not allow discs to roll over or fall onto
any bodily part. Do not allow wrenches to slip
when working near disc blades. Never push
wrenches toward disc blades. Do not climb over
machine above disc blades. Failure to stay clear
of disc blade edges can cause serious personal
injury or death.
Do not attempt to lift heavy parts (such as the
frame, disc gangs, rock shaft, and pull hitch)
manually. Use a hoist or a fork lift to move these
parts into position.
Never stand under or near the hydraulic folding
wings during folding or unfolding operations. The
wings can drop very quickly resulting in serious
injury or death to anyone under or near the
cultivator wings.
