STEP 1
INSTALLING TINES ON TINE BAR
See fig. STEP 1 photo before proceeding.
1. Place tine bar between two supports as shown in STEP 1 photo (we used
the top and bottom of the shipping boxes anything that will give you at least
8” clearance will do.)
2. Place first tine on tine bar as shown in FIG 1A & FIG 1B. Attach and tighten
using 3/8” x 1 1/2” bolts and lock nuts. Repeat process until all tines are in
place.
NOTE: Tines should be spaced approximately 6” apart on center for the TRC-6
and 7” for a TRC-8.
THIS FINISHED SECTION WILL BE CALLED THE TINE BAR ASSEMBLY.
STEP 2
ATTACHING THE BLADE POST AND BLADE TO THE A-FRAME
See STEP 2 photo before proceeding
1. Position the blade post in the guides on the rear of the A-frame with blade
angle adjustment holes facing towards the front of the A-frame as shown
FIG 2A.
2. Using a 3/4” x 4 1/2” bolt put flat washer on bolt and put bolt through A-
Frame hole sliding into top of centre Blade Post hole. Tighten using 1 1/8”
wrench or ratchet & socket. NOTE: There is a nut is welded on to bottom
side of Blade Post Plate. (Make sure that the front hitch pin is in front hole
so Blade Post does not turn.)
3. Tighten the bolt and nut completely and then back off 1/4 turn to allow for
movement of the blade post.
4. Then drop in the 3/4” drop pin through the A-frame into a blade post adjust-
ment hole. Next position the blade face down and lift the blade post and
A-frame placing it into the slot on the back of the blade, and attach using the
3/4” x 5” bolt and lock nut FIG 2B. Again tighten completely and back off 1/4
turn to allow for movement. NOTE: leave blade assembly unfinished at this
time this will make the unit more stable for the rest of the assembly.

nut FIG 3A.
2. Then locate and fasten the two S-shape hitch bars to the A-frame with
the lift pins as shown FIG 3B.
3. Now take the unfastened ends of the S-shaped bar and straight bar and
using the 1/2” X 4” bolt & nut with the 1" spacers on either side of the
straight bar join the 3 ends as shown in FIG 3C.
4. Tighten these bolts now before proceeding.
5. Then install the hitch pin and fasten with the cotter pin.
NOTE: There will be approximately 1/4” of play around the hitch pin this
is normal.
STEP 4

16” (we used two 5 gallon buckets) place the buckets or whatever you
choose under the 3 point hitch brackets at the front of the A-frame FIG
4A.
NOTE: Keep supports clear of A-frame. IMPORTANT: make sure A-frame is
supported securely.
2. Now slide the tine bar assembly into position under the A-frame with the
tines pointing down and towards the blade at the back. FIG 4B
3. With help attach the tine bar assembly with the 5/8” x 2” bolts & lock
nuts to the 3 mounting brackets on the under side of the A-frame.

ASSEMBLY OF THE PULL-BEHIND TOW HITCH
See STEP 8 photo before proceeding
1. The first step with the help of an assistant, is to remove the nuts and
lock washers from the lift pins where the S-shaped hitch brackets attach
to the A-frame.
2. Then carefully slide them out until they are flush with the inside of the
S-brackets.
3. At this time place the hitch arm between the S-brackets and replace the
nuts.
4. Next attach the top link to the top of the 3 point hitch FIG 8A.
5. Now lift the hitch arm up and connect it to the other end of the top link
with the hitch pin FIG 8B.
6. In order to adjust the top link you need to insert the adjusting pin in the
hole in the center of the top link and firmly tap it through with a ham-
mer.
7. Now adjust the top link until the hitch arm is parallel to the A-frame.
8. Finally using the 1/2” x 4 1/2” bolt and lock nut attach the adjustable
tow arm to the end of the hitch arm at the required height for your tow

ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING OF WHEEL ASSEMBLY
See STEP 9 photo before proceeding
The final step is to assemble and mount the wheel assembly. Mount the
wheels on the axles with grease nipples to the outside and tighten the

NOTE: Remember to grease the wheels periodically. Next attach the wheel
assembly to the mounting bracket that is welded to the end of the
A-frame with the two 1/2” x 1 1/2” bolts and lock nuts.
NOTE: The wheel assembly is used to raise the blade off the ground to
prevent damage to the blade when traveling to and from your track
or ring or anytime you are travelling over rough ground.
NOTE: If using the wheel kit on an existing Track & Ring Conditioner posi-
tion and clamp the wheel assembly securely in place and drill a 1/2”
hole through the mounting bracket hole and A-frame at 3” from the
back of the A-frame.
