Set-Up Instruction
The J&M Torsion-Flex Soil Conditioner is shipped with components partially assembled. Hardware required to connect the Base Wheel
Assembly, Main Base Frame Assembly, Wing Frames and Tongue Assembly should already be secured to the components at the point of
attachment.
The hydraulic cylinders have the ttings already installed and are secured to the base wheel assembly. The hydraulic hoses and light harness
wires should be inserted into the component tubing and simply require the ends to be connected.
Each basket frame should have the rolling baskets and torsion ex arm installed. Refer to the Basket Size and Layout, located on the right
side of the chart on page 5 of the Operator’s Manual for recommended basket layout. Be sure the baskets with the 3” x 3” Torsion Bars are
secure to the Main Base Unit and the baskets with the smaller 2 1/2” x 2 1/2” Torsion Bars are secured to the side wings.
