Ridge Splitter Assembly
Move the machine to a safe, clean
working area before proceeding. The ridge
splitter assembly will come completely
assembled from the factory. Start by locating
the ridge splitter assembly. For ease of
assembly you should use an over head hoist or
fork lift to mount assemblies. Bolt the ridge
splitter assembly (1) to the rear bar of the Verti-
till using 3/4 x 6 x 5 5/8 u-bolts (2) and secure
with lockwashers and hex nuts as shown in
Figure 1. Verify placement dimensions for
model of machine in the Machine Layout
section and tighten bolts. Spring shank preload
should be 12¼ inches as measured at spring.
