Attach nine cultivator tangs and tang support straps
to the cultivator frame assembly using one 3/8" U-
bolt and two 3/8" Nylock hex nuts for each tang. Be
sure to install a tang support strap between each
tang and the frame assembly. See figure 1.
For even spacing, install five tangs on the rear of
the frame and four tangs on the front of the frame.
For the rear tangs, put a tang at each end of the
frame assembly and a tang in the center. Then put
the other two rear tangs midway between the
middle and end tangs as shown in figure 1. When
attaching the front tangs, center them between
the rear tangs as shown. Once the tangs are
positioned, tighten all hex nuts.

Turn the frame assembly upright. Attach two depth
gauge bars to the frame using a 3/8" U-bolt and
two 3/8" Nylock hex nuts for each bar. Put each
depth gauge bar next to each outside tang on the
rear of the frame as shown in figure 2. Use the
holes in each bar that will give the desired working
depth, if known at this time. Use matching holes in
both depth gauge bars to keep the cultivator level.
NOTE: For effective depth control a depth gauge bar
must not be located directly behind a front tang.
