for mounting the front frame . Hitch No. 8-5211 or the
speed hitch provided with rotary mowers may also
be used.
A rear hitch is necessary to mount the rear frame.

ASSEMBLY:
1. Slide front frame assembly (Item 1) under the
tractor with the lift bar pivot arm down . lift the cross
shaft into the slots of the Tach-a-matic hitch and dose
the latch. Secure the latch in the closed position with
the hitch hairpin as shown in Fig. 1.
2. Attach the tractor lift lever to the slot in the
lift bar pivot arm of the front frame assembly.
On Raider and Charger models the two short
standards (Item 10) should be used for the two inside
shovels on the front frame.
3. If the tractor is equipped with a slot type rear
hitch, insert the tongue of the rear frame assembly
in the slot and secure with the tool pin.

When a clevis type hitch is used, attach the rear
frame to the hitch as shown in Fig. 2. Tighten the
hex bolts against the stabilizer plate to make the
frame rigid.
4. Install and adjust standards and shovels to
desired cultivating depth. Depth may be adjusted by
moving the standards up or down. Make sure the
screws on the clamps are tight.
S. On older model tractors, hook the end of the
special lift rod (No. 104650) in the hole of the lift bar
pivot arm of the front frame assembly and secure
with a hairpin. Attach the other end of the lift rod
to the tractor lift bar with the trunnion and other hair-
pin, using the nut to adjust the lift action by moving
the trunnion back on the lift rod.

OPERATION:
For normal use the cultivator should be set to
cultivate 2" to 3" deep. This setting is usually adequate
for cutting weeds. Greater depths can cause the soil
to dry out.
Under extreme conditions when working hard soil,
pressure may be applied to the front shovels by rest-
ing your feet on the frame. Weights may be added
to the rear frame as desired.
Decide whether to cultivate between the rows or
to straddle them. To cultivate between rows, place
four shovels on the front frame equally spaced with
one on each end. Place three shovels on the rear
frame, one in the center and one directly behind each
wheel.
When straddling rows eliminate the center shovel
on the rear frame and place the two middle shovels
on the front. frame on each side of the row. Do not
place too close to the row or plant roots may be cut.
