SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER; Use extreme caution to prevent injury when
handling or working with the tine sections (points) as the
tines are very sharp. A Tine or Tines should never be
assembled in any other position that the way they were
designed or intended to be positioned, ie; Tines should never
be assembled so some or all of the tines are positioned the
other way or positioned so they are pointing upwards etc.
When assembling equipment for delivery or in preparation
for field work please follow these general instructions.
Always refer to the appropriate assembly drawings and / or
instructions during assembly.
“Left” and “Right” are relative to a position behind the
implement looking forward to the hitch point.
Assemble the implement on a solid, level surface wherever
possible.

SERIES 03 & SERIES 35 LEVELLING HARROW SECTIONS &
SETS: NORMAL PACKAGING
The following items should be included;
HARROW SECTIONS; Tine Harrow sections, if section(s) only
have been specified.
“DRAG” TYPE SET;
Quantity Description
1Series 03 / Series 35 “Front” Harrow Drawbar
(a “Front” drawbar has two or three pull chains
depending on the width of the set.)
1 Bundle (or stack) of the required number of Tine
Harrow Sections.
SERIES 03 & SERIES 35 LEVELLING HARROW SECTIONS &
SETS: ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY TIP: Safety Glasses should be correctly worn by the
person(s) removing tie-wires.
STEP 1: Remove all items of packaging, including strapping,
tie-wires and shipping tags etc; from components.
STEP 2: ASSEMBLY TIP; We suggest you use the front harrow
drawbar as an assembly guide, therefore; Lay out
front harrow drawbar, with labels facing up, on solid
level ground large enough for the harrow set.
(Naturally, leave enough space for the remainder of
the set.)

10
STEP 3: Carefully, place the individual tine harrow sections
with their tines downwards so that they line up with
the front harrow drawbar and the tine harrow “front
coupling” correspond with their respective drawbar
anchors.
STEP 4: Assemble each “front coupling” with its respective
drawbar anchor.
STEP 5: To assist in transportation, the tine harrow sections
are supplied rigid with the 2 locking nuts firmly
“pulled” up on their respective long bolts. The
harrows should never be used in this state. The result
may be that the nuts become loose due to the severe
vibration caused from working and components
separate from the tine harrow section. On each of
the long bolt assemblies (with the exception of the
bolt assembly in the last rank [rear] of each tine
harrow section) back off the outside nuts and loosen
the inside nuts so that the ranks of tines are able to
move freely around their respective pivot points.
Assembly Tip: Please allow for freeing up of the “pivoting
harrow” action after the early stages of the implement’s use.
(Refer to section: Operating Instructions for further details).
Carefully retighten the outside nuts in order to firmly lock the
2 locking nuts together to avoid the assemblies from
becoming loose in operation.

11
SPECIAL NOTES:
If the harrow set is not required to be “taken apart” we
generally recommend that all or some of the couplings, links,
harrow hooks etc, be closed up. Safety Glasses should be
correctly worn by the person(s) hammering the couplings,
links, harrow hooks etc closed. For a permanent situation
welding of these closed up components may be considered.
Please ensure the person who is carrying out any welding
work is qualified as a welder if this step is undertaken. Ensure
all safety procedures are adhered to during welding.
Please dispose of any packaging and shipping items
thoughtfully. Thank you.
SERIES 03 & SERIES 35 LEVELLING HARROW SECTIONS &
SETS: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Recommended maximum working speed is 10 kph. For
better results, and to safeguard the implement, do not
operate the harrow above this speed. Operation at a speed
greater than 10 kph will result in premature wear and
damage to the harrow and may void manufacturer’s product
warranty.
Tine harrow section locking nuts: it is recommended the
tightness of the 2 nuts on each of the tine harrow section’s
“long” bolts be checked several times during the first few
hours of work and there-after when required to assist in
keeping the 2 nuts firmly locked together. Failure to carry
out this procedure may result in the nut(s) becoming loose
with the result that nuts, tines, spacers and bolts may

12
separate from the harrow sections and become lost in the
field.
The “pivoting harrow action” of the tine harrow sections
may become freer when any paint and/or metal burs around
the pivot points are worn off during the early stages of the
implement’s use.
The tine harrow sections should never be used in a rigid state
with the “long” bolts and 2 locking nuts “pulled” up. For
further details please refer to step 5 of the set up instructions
in this manual.
Special operating note: flexibility is essential for effective
working of a Murray Levelling harrow. Wear is a natural
consequence of flexibility. Operation below the
recommended maximum working speed will assist to
optimise the implement’s working life.
Replace any safety or warning labels on this product if they
become damaged, unclear or unreadable. Labels are
available as a service part.
Inspect this product prior to use. Ensure that all couplings,
rings, hooks etc are correctly assembled / attached. Replace
any parts (couplings, rings, tines etc) on this product if they
become worn or unserviceable.
Safety Glasses should be correctly worn by the person(s)
hammering couplings, links, harrow hooks etc.

13
Murray Agricultural Equipment does not recommend the
adding of extra weight to their harrow sets, harrow sections
or harrow drawbars.
NEVER GET UNDERNEATH A HARROW; Safe work practice
directs that operators and other persons never get
underneath a Harrow Section or Harrow Set or components
of a Harrow at any time while attempting to clear or clean the
Harrow of grass / weed matter or any other material or
blockage and when carrying out maintenance or at any other
time whether the Harrow Section or Set or components of a
Harrow are attached to a 3 point Linkage Lift frame or a drag
type set. Failure to do so will / may result in death or serious
injury.
NO RIDING ON A HARROW; Owners and Operators must
ensure that no person(s) or animals ride or are carried etc on
Murray Harrows. Failure to do so will / may result in death or
serious injury.
STAND CLEAR OF “PINCH POINTS”; Owners and Operators
must ensure no person(s) or animal(s) are permitted to stand
within or be allowed to be nearby a “Pinch Point”. A Pinch
Point maybe an area between the front of a Harrow Front
Drawbar and the rear of a tractor when the Drawbar is
connected to a tractor.
A Pinch Point maybe an area between a Harrow Set and the
rear of a tractor when the Harrow Set is NOT connected to a
tractor and the tractor is being reversed so as to enable the
Harrow Set to be attached to the tractor. A Pinch Point
maybe an area between the tractor’s rear tyres and a drag

14
type Harrow Front Drawbar when the tractor and attached
Harrow Set is turning a corner.
Operating Instructions for Towing Vehicles;
This equipment is not intended to be used on or travel on
roads or freeways. When transporting this product in
conjunction with (connected to) a tractor or another vehicle,
transport only when safe to do so and transport speed (not
work speed) should not exceed 20 kph.
When towing equipment combinations, the maximum
equipment combination ground speed shall be limited to the
lowest specified ground speed of any of the towed machines.
The maximum travel speed is that specified in the operator’s
manual(s), Speed Identification Symbol ( S I S ), or
information sign of towed equipment, or the limit of the road
conditions, whichever is the lesser.
