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
sufcient 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
reectors 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.
• Level implement and block up securely to relieve
pressure on jack.
• Do not allow children to play on or around stored
implement.
