Assembly Instructions for the Ridge Splitter
Verti-Till
9/23/03
Your initial action is to bolt the angled drop stubs [(3) 589-147H] to the back 4x4 tube on the 
Verti-Till using 5/8x4x5 ½ U-Bolts [(63) 806-184C] 5/8” hex nuts [(25) 803-021C] and 5/8” lock 
washers [(26) 804-022C]. Be sure to place them as shown on the overhead layout. Do not tighten these 
bolts at this time. Your next step is to U-Bolt the splitter shank tube(s) [(1) 589-077D or 589-081D] to 
the drop stubs. Be sure everything is placed with the correct dimensions and tighten everything down at 
this time.
Your spring shank should come to you pre-assembled, so installation of these should be fairly 
straightforward. Take the shank mount plate off of the assembly and bolt the spring shank assembly to 
the splitter shank tube. Space the spring shank assemblies out as shown on the overhead layout and 
tighten bolts.
