manual abstract


Position the tongue weldment between the front pull brackets welded to the front crosstube. Install the two 5/8” x 11/2” bolts with washers and nylock nuts as shown in the exploded parts diagram. NOTE: Nylock nuts are used at locations where some pivoting motion is expected between the bolted parts. It is suggested that nylock nuts be tightened to just a snug fit and then backed off 1 - 11/2 turns. Install the two 1/2”x 31/2” shift pins to lock the tongue weldment to the front crosstube pull brackets. (This is the position of the pins for transport and to flip the harrow over.) Install the hairclip pins in the ends of the 1/2”x 31/2” shift pins. NOTE: The two 1/2” x 3” shift pins need to be removed from the crosstube pull brackets for harrowing. This allows the tongue assembly to float. The pins can be stored by locking them in the two inside brackets on the tongue assembly (see lower part of FIG. A). 9 INSTRUCTIONS (continued) FLIPPING THE HARROW FROM HARROWING TO TRANSPORT POSITION AND VISE VERSA Pull the harrow to a level location. Unhook the harrow from the tractor or ATV drawbar and move the tractor/ATV out of the way. (FIG. E) Install the two 1/2”x 31/2” shift pins to lock the tongue assembly in the ridged position (pins go from outside toward the center). (Top part of FIG. A) With the handle on the harrow, adjust the harrow teeth to an almost flat position (handle forward). (FIG. B) Lift the harrow tongue and raise the harrow to a vertical position. The harrow should be able to stand alone in a vertical position while you walk around to the other side of the harrow. (FIG. C) Reach up and grab the harrow tongue and gently pull the tongue toward you. Remember as the tongue comes toward you, on the “wheel side” of the harrow, it may require placing one foot on the rear crosstube as you pull the tongue downward. You will be taking more of the weight of the harrow as the harrow lowers. (FIG. D) Once the harrow is flipped over and horizontal on the ground, back your tractor or ATV up to the tongue and reconnect to the unit. CAUTION! Do not leave the harrow in a vertical position. The harrow could fall over and hurt someone. If you are placing the harrow in a vertical position for storage, secure the harrow so it cannot fall over. 10 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATION The safe operation of the implement is the responsibility of the operator. The operator should be familiar with the implement, tractor (or ATV) and all safety practices before starting operation. Review and follow all the safety rules in this manual and those of the tractor or ATV. A responsible adult (not a child) should do all the harrowing and transporting operations. Inspect the area to be harrowed for stumps, stones, branches, or other foreign objects that could cause damage to the pulling vehicle or the harrow. If objects cannot be cleared from the area (like stumps) then mark them clearly so the operator can avoid them. The model FOH-5 spike-tooth harrow has adjustable tooth angle. This allows you to set the teeth at 6 different angles to provide the best flow-through of residue (flattest tooth angle) or the most aggressive tooth position for fluffing up an arena (most straight up and down tooth angle) and every position in between to fit the job you need to do. The model FOH-5 harrow has a staggered tooth arrangement to give maximum conditioning of the soil, breaking up and spreading of manure and residue, and for even leveling and firming of the soil. The spike-tooth harrow will cut trash and penetrate the soil for good ground preparation. In tough soil conditions, several passes may be necessary to work the soil to a satisfactory condition. The harrow can be operated at up to 5 mph. Under most conditions, 3 to 4 mph is a better operating speed. Operating too fast will not allow the teeth to penetrate and greatly increase the chance of damage to the harrow. In most cases, multiple passes will be required to achieve the desired soil preparation. It is recommended to straddle previous passes or work the second time over at an angle to avoid ridging and to mix the soil. Never allow anyone to play near the unit and always store the unit in a safe secure place, preferable in a locked storage shed or fenced area. Never allow anyone to climb or ride on the unit for any reason. UNEVEN TERRAIN – WARNING! Do not operate on steep slopes. Do not stop, start or change directions suddenly on slopes. Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain. Watch or hidden hazards on the terrain during operation. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent “hanging up” tractor and harrow. Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering rough terrain. CAUTION! Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear when working with equipment. Do not operate close to ditches or creeks. Slow down when operating over rough ground. Avoid excessive speeds! CAUTION! When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narro...
