Operation

WARNING! Before using the drag harrow, review the instructions below and safety information before operating. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or injury to the operator or bystanders.

Using your drag harrow:

• ONLY use approved vehicles when pulling the drag harrow (Tractors, Pick-ups and ATVs / UTVs)
• ALWAYS secure the drag harrow to the vehicle hitch before operating.
• ALWAYS use caution when operating the drag harrow and be aware of your surroundings.
- Avoid large holes and ditches when operating the drag harrow.
• ALWAYS operate at reduce speed in rough terrain, along creeks, ditches and on hillsides.
• DO NOT operate close to creeks, ditches, and public highways.
• To avoid personal injury and/or equipment damage. DO NOT EXCEED 16KMH (10 MPH).

Maintenance and Storage

ATTENTION: Surface corrosion will occur on metal surfaces over time and the rate of oxidation depends on factors such as proximity to the ocean and humidity or condensation of water vapour on metal surfaces. To mitigate this, WD40 can be used to remove surface corrosion then, when applied periodically, it will prevent rust from forming.

WARNING! Improper maintenance and storage of the drag harrow may void your warranty.

Maintenance

• Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
• Annually clean and lightly lubricate parts.
• Use a glossy enamel spray paint to touch up scratched or worn painted metal surfaces.

Storage

• Before storing make sure the drag harrow is clean and dry for years of trouble-free service.
• Store indoors or protected area during severe weather and winter months.
