Completing Setup
Install the plastic end caps into all the
open ends of all the 4x3 frame tubes.
You should now be ready to add
shanks to the machine and then if the machine
has a finishing attachment you would install it
following the shanks. See the shank
placement Section 4 for proper shank locations
for your unit. Section 3 in the manual shows
the individual shank assemblies and parts for
both the K-flex and magnum shanks.
Once the shanks are installed and all of
the hydraulic procedures have been completed,
you may fold the machine to check for
clearance and proper shank placement. Slowly
fold the machine while watching that hoses do
not become pinched or kinked and watch that
shanks clear all obstructions.
Once the machine is folded completely,
begin to unfold slowly. Be Sure No One Is
Under The Wings When You Unfold The
Machine. Once the machine is unfolded, add
the safety decals and the product decals. Refer
to the Important Safety Information section,
page 7, for the proper placement of safety
decals.
Install the safety chain, SMV sign &
safety lights in accordance with local and state
laws. See parts manual (Section 6: Safety) for
assembly drawings and parts list.
At this point, set up of the machine is
complete and you are ready to add any
finishing attachment, rear hitches, etc… to the
machine. Be sure to consult the operating
instructions, Section 5 of this manual for the
adjustments before going to the field for the
first time.
