Assembly Instructions
1. Make sure the lower draw pins (pull pins) are installed correctly for your tractor.
2. Hitch pins should be assembled outward for category 1 hitches.
3. Insert the hitch pins into the ball sockets in the lower lift arms of the tractor 3 point hitch. Lock in
place with linchpins (not furnished). Attach the mast of the 3 point main frame by installing the
tractor center link (top link) with a top link pin (not furnished).
4. Adjust the top link assembly to obtain the correct angle of the implement. Check the tractor’s 3
point lift arms and adjust to level the implement from side to side.
5. For proper operation, level the subsoiler by adjusting the tractor linkage. This will assure that the
subsoiler will run straight.
6. The tractor’s 3 point hydraulic lift system should be set to transfer most of the subsoiler’s weight
and draft to the tractor to maximize traction. (There may not be a 3 point draft control on some
small tractors. (Refer to the tractor’s Owner’s Manual.)
