3ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
It is very important that your new FC3800 Se-
ries Field Cultivator be properly assembled, ad-
justed and lubricated before use. Illustrations in
this section show proper assembly procedures. Re-
move paint from grease fittings. Replace any
grease fittings that are damaged or missing. Be
sure to return screws, clips, etc., to their original lo-
cations.
To insure alignment of assemblies, leave the
nuts loose until completion of final assembly.
Use lock washers or flat washers as specified.
Spread all cotter pins.
After completion of final assembly, tighten all
nuts evenly to prevent misalignment, distortion or
binding. Tighten all screws and nuts to the recom-
mended torques shown in Tables 2-1and 2-2.
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT HEAVY
PARTS (SUCH AS THE FRAME, ROCK
SHAFT, AND PULL HITCH) MANU-
ALLY. USE A HOIST OR A FORK LIFT
TO MOVE THESE PARTS INTO POSI-
TION.
DANGER
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL LOWER-
ING:
1. ALL HYDRAULICALLY ELEVATED
EQUIPMENT MUST BE LOCKED OUT
USING THE CYLINDER LOCKOUTS:
2. LOWER EQUIPMENT TO THE
GROUND WHILE SERVICING OR
WHEN IT IS IDLE.
FAILURE TO TAKE MEASURES TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL LOWERING
MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION
BE SURE DEPTH STOPS ARE EQUAL
LENGTHS ON ALL CYLINDERS. USING
UNEQUAL DEPTH STOP LENGTHS
CAN CAUSE PERMANENT EQUIP-
MENT DAMAGE.
CAUTION
BE SURE TO BLEED THE HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM OF ALL AIR IN LINES AFTER
INSTALLATION. FAILURE TO BLEED
THE SYSTEM OF ALL AIR CAN RE-
SULT IN PERMANENT EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE.

ALLY. USE A HOIST OR A FORK LIFT
TO MOVE THESE PARTS INTO POSI-
TION.
3-2.1 On FC3800-51 and FC3800-54 models,
bolt inner wing halves together using 5/8-11
x 2-1/4 hex head cap screws and hex lock
nuts (See Figure 3-3).
3-2.2 On all models, install wings using pins,
washers and cotter pins provided. (See Fig-
ure 3-1).
3-2.3 Slide nylatron depth adjust bushing into
frame bracket on wing. Bolt bushing into
place using 1/4-20 x 2 hex head cap screws
and hex lock nuts. Insert threaded depth ad-
just rod weldment into bushing and screw
into depth adjustment rod to desired depth.
(See Figure 3-4).
3-2.4 On FC3800-21, FC3800-27, FC3800-32,
FC3800-44, FC3800-36, and FC3800-48
models, extensions are attached to the frame
180ofrom where they should be installed.
Loosen hex lock nuts and remove u-bolts.
Flip the wing extension over to the outside of
the outer frame and install wing extensions
on wings using same u-bolts and hex lock
nuts (See Figure 3-2).
3-2.5 For FC3800-44 and FC3800-48 models, in-
stall 5” extension to outer wing plate with
5/8-11 x 2-1/4 hex head cap screws and hex
lock nuts (See Figure 3-2).
3-2.6 On 5-section models, install outer wings
using pins, washers and cotter pins provided.
(See Figure 3-2).
3-3 ROCKSHAFT INSTALLATION
3-3.1 All rockshafts and hubs come already as-
sembled from the factory.
3-3.2 Mount tires on the wheels and install on
hubs.
3-3.3 For FC3800-35, FC3800-34, and FC3800-
37 models, a manual adjust gauge wheel
must be installed on the outer wings. Attach
spindle assembly with tube and rigid gauge
wheel clamp to outer wing frame using u-
bolts and hex lock nuts (See Figure 3-5).
3-3.4 Recommended tires:
Frame and wings (3 & 5 section small
frame models up through FC3800-35):
9.5L X 15 8 ply recommended
11L x 15 10 ply
Frame (5 section large frame models
and small frame models FC3800-38,
FC3800-41, and FC3800-44):

Figure 3-6Master and Slave Cylinder Installation

3-4 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
3-4.1 Set the depth adjustment to a medium
depth (insure that all are set to the same
depth).
3-4.2 Install the master cylinders with the base
end on the lift cylinder anchor bracket of the
frame and the rod end on the arms of the
rockshaft. (See Figure 3-6).
3-4.3 Install the slave cylinders with the base
end on the lift cylinder anchor bracket of the
wings and the rod end on the arms of the
rockshaft. (See Figure 3-6).
3-4.4 For narrow frame models:
a. Install the front and rear fold cylinder brack-
ets to the frame with eight 5/8-11 X 6 hex
head cap screws and hex lock nuts (See Fig-
ure 3-7).
b. Attach front and rear fold cylinder brackets
and cylinder anchor bar together with four 1-8
X 4 hex head cap screws and hex lock nuts.
On models using a 4 x 24 hydraulic cylinder,
a bushing is provided to put in the large hole
to take up slack around the 1” hex head cap
screw and the cylinder pins to the small end
of the cylinder anchor bar. For models using a
5 x 24 hydraulic cylinder, no bushing is
needed and the cylinder pins to the large end
of the cylinder anchor bar (See Figure 3-7).
3-4.5 For wide frame models:
a. Connect a right hand and left hand inner
fold cylinder bracket and cylinder anchor bar
together with two 1-8 X 4 hex head cap
screws and hex lock nuts. On models using a
4 x 24 hydraulic cylinder, a bushing is pro-
vided to put in the large hole to take up slack
around the 1” hex head cap screw and the
cylinder pins to the small end of the cylinder
anchor bar. For models using a 5 x 24 hy-
draulic cylinder, no bushing is needed and the
cylinder pins to the large end of the cylinder
anchor bar (See Figure 3-8).
b. Repeat Step 3-4.5a. for other fold cylinder
brackets and cylinder anchor bar.
c. Attach each fold cylinder bracket assembly
to the frame using six 5/8-11 x 6 hex head
cap screws and hex lock nuts.
IMPORTANT
BE SURE TO LEAVE THE NUTS LOOSE UNTIL
CONNECTING TUBE HAS BEEN INSTALLED
AND ENTIRE FOLD CYLINDER BRACKET AS-
SEMBLY IS CENTERED ON FRAME.
d. Install fold cylinder connecting tube between
right hand and left hand fold cylinder bracket
assemblies with 3/4-10 x 6-1/2 hex head cap
screws and hex lock nuts (See Figure 3-8).
3-4.6 On 5-section models, install fold cylinder
stops with hose clamps onto rod end of inner
wing fold cylinders (See Figures 3-10 -
3-22). CAUTION
NEGLECTING TO INSTALL FOLD CYL-
INDER STOPS COULD RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO FOLD CYLINDERS AND
WINGS.
3-4.7 Install base end of fold cylinders to cylinder
anchor bar on frame with ports up (See Fig-
ures 3-7and 3-8).Pin rod end of cylinder to
bracket on wings using extended pin, wash-
ers and cotter pins (See Figures 3-9- 3-22).
3-4.8 On 3-section models, install a 90oO-ring
elbow with restrictor in each port of the fold
cylinders (See Figure 3-9).
3-4.9 On 5-section models, install a 90oO-ring
elbow with restrictor in each port of the outer
fold cylinders. Install a 90oadapter with re-
strictor in each port of the inner fold cylinders
(See Figures 3-10 - 3-22).
3-4.10 Install an O-ring elbow in each port of the
lift cylinders (See Figures 3-9- 3-22).
3-4.11 Install fittings in the manifold per Figures
3-9- 3-22.
3-4.12 Install hoses per Figures 3-9- 3-22.
