Before You Start
Read and understand the operator’s manual for
your drill. A basic understanding of how the drill
works will aid in the assembly and setup of your
drill.
Before attempting to assemble the drill use the fol-
lowing as a check list. Having all the needed parts
and equipment readily at hand will speed up your
assembly task and will make the job as safe as
possible.
Check for all major frame components
Check for fasteners and pins that were
shipped with the drill.
Note: All hardware coming from the factory has
been installed in the location where it will be used.
If a part or fastener is temporarily removed for as-
sembly reasons, remember where it goes. Keep
the parts separated.
If a pin, bolt or other part has been removed
and you are unsure where it is used, use the parts
manual for this drill to identify it. Be sure the part
gets used in the correct location.By double check-
ing while you assemble, you will lessen the
chance of using a bolt incorrectly that may be
needed later.
Have a forklift or loader along with chains
and safety stands that are sized for the job ready
for the assembly task.
Have a tractor with remote hydraulics ready
to attach to the tongue. The tongue must be an-
chored to a large enough tractor to overcome the
negative tongue weight that will be present when
the boxes are attached to the frame. The hydrau-
lics will aid in raising and lowering the drill to align
pins and bolts during assembly.
!
CAUTION
Be familiar with the term NEGATIVE TONGUE
WEIGHT. Be aware of the special precautions you
should take when working with an implement that can
develop Negative Tongue Weight.
Have a minimum of two people on hand while
assembling the drill.
