Quick Start Guide
Hydraulic Connections to Tractor
Yellow - Wing lift/lower
Red - Tine angle adjust
Green - Wing wheel pivot
Unfold to Field Position
Important: Ensure the center harrow section has been rotated forward after shipping and bolted in place
or damage to the unit may result.
• Find a location that is as level as possible. Position harrow in line with tractor.
• Remove lock pin from main frame lift cylinder.
• Remove lock pins from wing lift and wing pivot wheels.
• From the cab of the tractor, rotate pivot wheels to 45° (Green hydraulic remote).
• Slowly back up the tractor to unfold.
• Once wings are nearly fully unfolded, rotate pivot wheels to 90°.
• Ensure that the draft arms have pushed the swing arms into the lock mechanism.
• Carefully lower the harrow wing halfway to the ground (Yellow hydraulic remote). Ensure that the swing arms
are both still locked in place.
• Slowly drive the tractor ahead, while lowering the harrow wing the rest of the way down.
NOTE:
Important: Do not lower the harrow wings fully down to the ground without driving ahead simultaneously.
Damage to rotary harrow sections could result.
• Check the level of A-frame hitch relative to the tractor. Adjust using hitch tongue to level
• Ensure all harrow chains are tight. Tighten chains using the tools provided on the left-most rotary harrow
section if necessary.

General Operation
• DO NOT RIDE!! Do not allow riders on the implement
when in motion.
• Do not allow extra riders in the tractor unless an
instructor seat and seat belt are available.
• Check behind when backing up.
• Reduce speed when working in hilly terrain.
• Never allow anyone within the immediate area when
operating machinery.
• Stand clear when raising or lowering wings.
• Keep all shields in place, replace them if removed
for service work.
Tractor Operation
• Be aware of the correct tractor operating procedures,
when working with implements.
• Review tractor operator’s manual.
• Secure hitch pin with a retainer and lock drawbar in
centre position.

Safety
1-4 August 2021 Rustler Heavy Harrow
Transporting
• Be aware of the height, length and width of
implement. Make turns carefully and be aware of
obstacles and overhead electrical lines.
• Always travel at a safe speed. Do Not Exceed 20
mph (32 kph).
• Use an agricultural tractor that is large enough with
sufcient braking capacity so that the weight of the
loaded equipment towed does not exceed 1.5 times
the weight of the tractor.
• Use ashing amber warning lights, turn signals and
SMV emblems when on public roads.
• Do not transport in poor visibility.
• The slow moving vehicle (SMV) emblem and
reectors must be secured and be visible on the
machine for transport.
• Avoid soft surfaces, the additional wing weight on
the centre wheels could cause the machine to sink.
• Ensure safety chain is attached correctly to the
towing vehicle and the hitch of the implement.
• Check that wings are rmly seated on transport wing
stops, and wing lift valve and opener valve are in
locked postion.
• Be familiar with and adhere to local laws.
Hydraulics
• Do not search for high pressure hydraulic leaks
without hand and face protection. A tiny, almost
invisible leak can penetrate skin, thereby requiring
immediate medical attention.
• Use cardboard or wood to detect leaks - never your
hands.
• Double check that all is clear before operating
hydraulics.
• Never remove hydraulic hoses or ends with machine
elevated. Relieve hydraulic pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic hoses or ends.
• Maintain proper hydraulic uid levels.
• Keep all connectors clean for positive connections.
• Ensure all ttings and hoses are in good condition.
• Do not stand under wings.

Safety
Rustler Heavy Harrow August 2021 1-5
Caution
Keep service area
clean and dry. Wet
or oily floors are
slippery. Wet spots
can be dangerous
when working with
electrical equipment.
Maintenance
• Shut tractor engine off before making any
adjustments or lubricating the machine.
• Block machine securely to prevent any movement
during servicing.
• Wear close tting clothing and appropriate personal
protective equipment for the job.
• Always wear safety goggles, breathing apparatus
and gloves when working on seeder lled with granular
chemical or treated seed per the manufacture’s
instructions.
• Do not modify the machine.
Hitching and Unhitching
• Stand clear of hitch tongue. The hitch of the
Heavy Harrow Bar can swing up abruptly when
disconnected from the tractor drawbar.
• Never stand between the tractor and implement.
• Lower the hitch jack(s) onto rm ground and chock
the tires when un-hooking implement from tractor.
• Ensure the unit is on level ground prior to un-hooking
tractor.
Storage
• Store implement away from areas of main activity.
