ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

FRAME ASSMEBLY

Sort out the frame sections for the size of cultivator you are assembling.

Locate the tine patterns in the back of the booklet for the model of cultivator you ordered and begin marking the tine locations on the toolbar tubes as shown in the photographs.

Place the frame sections on support stands if available for easier mounting of the tines.

ASSEMBLY INFORMATION

& DETAIL PHOTOS

Cultivator frame.

Steel support stand.

Place cultivator frames on support stand for tine assembly.

3

Mark tine location on frames and mount tines with tine clamps and bolts according to the tine pattern diagrams in the back of the book for the cultivator frame section you are assembling.

Note that there are 3 different tine patterns:

80mm, 100mm and 160mm, depending on the model of cultivator you ordered. Tine quantities delivered with the unit are based on the tine spacing chosen at time of order.

Tines mounted in the wheel area should be left loose until after the wheel arm assemblies are installed.

When the tines are mounted to the frames, move the frame sections together and assemble the frames with the bolts, nuts, washers and pins provided in the assembly hardware bags.

(Note: The assembly diagrams do not show tines installed for easier viewing.)

Install the front and rear folding hinges, hinge pins and lock plates to the frames at the same time as you assemble the wing frames and centre section.

4

Typical wing and front frame sub-assembly with tines mounted.

Assemble the main centre frame and wing frames. After the tines are mounted the frames can be moved into position for easier assembly as the tines act as a support stand for the frame sections.

Install the top frame weldment with the bolts and nuts provided. When the top frame is bolted into position, attach the cylinders to the top frame with the cylinder pins provided.

The draw hitch side tubes can also be attached with the draw pins provided in the centre section hardware bag.

8

Sort out the pieces for the centre section self levelling linkages and wheel arm linkages.

The parts should be installed separatly starting wih the wheel arms and moving forward to the hitch or vise versa. See the detail photos on the following pages for proper assembly.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The assembly diagram does not show the wheels mounted on the wheel arms. This was done to make the assembly diagram less complicated to see.

However, it is best to assemble the wheels on the wheel arms before lifting the wheel arms into the frames.

9

Detailed assembly diagram showing installation of the centre section wheel arms, A frame links and self levelling pivot links. All bolts and pins are provided in the assembly hardware bags.

Note that the wheel pivot link shown below has 2 holes.This is in order to provide proper clearance and depth settings for either the 20" or 24" underframe clearance of the tines.

On newer models this link has been replaced with a 2 piece adjustable linkage with only one hole which can be lengthened or shortened as necessary to provide proper underframe clearance for 20" or 24" tine options. The new adjustable wheel link also provides side to side levelling for the centre section.

Hole B is used for the VT475 - 20" Conser-

Tine.

Hole A is used for the VT 630 - 24" heavy duty - 2 piece tine

Overview of completed centre section assembly with X-frame and A-frame connections with master lift cylinder and wheel arm connections. The X-frame gives strength to centre frame and provides the anchor point for the master cylinder and folding cylinders.The A-frame linkage between master cylinder and centre section wheel arms keeps centre wheels working in unison.

Performs the function of a rockshaft. The self levelling links keep the centre section level in both the raised and lowered positions for both road transport and field work.

Leave all nuts and bolts loose until after the complete draw hitch and self levelling linkage system is in place. Once the self levelling linkages, wheel arms, wheel linkages, hitch linkages are in position on the cultivator the bolts can be tightened.

Handle and Lynch pins.

When the cultivator frame is fully assembled check all nuts and bolts and secure if loose.

Double check the hose layout and hydraulic connections according to the hydraulic diagram.

Be sure to read the Owners Manual before attempting to fold or operate the cultivator. The

Owners Manual provides important instructions and safety precautions that must be followed before attempting to hook up and move the cultivator after assembly.

If you have purchased optional levelling attachments such as the double rotaharrows shown on the cultivator below, refer to the Manual provided with the Harrow Assembly for proper installation and adjustment of the attachments.
