TOOLING OPTIONS AND INSTALLATION

3. Tighten set bolts and jam nuts to secure tillage shank assembly to tail section.
4. Tighten hardware to proper torque specifications. (pg. 8 - 4)
NOTE: A depth indicator allows for uniform tillage shank assembly depth between row
units. Depth indicator decal does not reflect actual tillage depth. Use depth indicator
decal as a tool to achieve uniform depth across the implement.
NOTE: Tail Flange nuts are welded to both sides of the tail. Jam nuts and set bolts can
be moved to the opposite side for ease of adjustment.
NOTE: Recommended tools: Jam Nut - 15/16 end wrench, Set Bolt - 5/8 eight point
socket.
(3/4 end wrench will substitute for the 5/8 eight point socket, although not recommended)

INSTALLATION
TILLAGE SHANK ASSEMBLY
(MOLE SHANK AND MOLE KNIFE)
AVOID CRUSHING. Make sure all personnel are clear of the implement. Lower implement
to support blocks to attain proper shank installation height, place tractor in park, turn off
engine, and remove key.
USE BAR STANDS TO SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENT. Park implement on a clean, dry,
and level surface. An uneven surface could cause implement to shift or fall, resulting in
personal injury or death, as well as implement damage. Securely support all implement
components that must be raised. Remove buildup of grease, oil, or debris prior to
installing the tillage shank.
