USE AND INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: POTENTIAL CRUSH HAZARD! DO NOT WORK BENEATH LOAD.
WARNING: THE WORK AREA WHEN USING THIS SYSTEM MUST BE FLAT, SOLID, LEVEL, AND FREE

FROM DEBRIS AND FLOOR INCONSISTANCIES.

1. Slide one section of track under the tractor. The
hook end of the track should be pushed under
the tractor  rst.

Connect the second section of track to the  rst
by placing the hooks of the second track over
the pins of the  rst track so that they interlock
with each other. Center the two tracks under
the tractor and position the tracks to allow for
su cient distance to split the tractor as required.

(Image 1)

NOTE: Both track sections are identical. Order of
tracks under the tractor does not matter. The rails
of the track sections must be clean and free from
debris to allow for safe splitting of the tractor.

2. Place the stationary stand under the tractor in
between the rails of the track. Position this stand
as close as possible to the point where the tractor
will be split. (Image 2)

Add spacers as necessary to the stationary stand.
There are two tall spacers and one short spacer
for each stand. The tops of each spacer and stand
have slots and holes cut into them. These holes
and slots allow the user to bolt the spacer to
the stand, each other and to the bottom of the
tractor.

WARNING: ALWAYS INCREASE THE HEIGHT OF THE STAND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BY ADDING SPAC-

ERS FIRST. NEVER USE MORE THAN THREE (3) SPACERS PER STAND ASSEMBLY (TWO (2) TALL SPACERS
AND ONE (1) SHORT SPACER PER STAND).

WARNING: THE SPACERS AND STAND ASSEMBLY MUST BE SECURED TOGETHER USING THE PRO-

VIDED HARDWARE.

3. Repeat step 2 for the rolling stand. The wheels
of the rolling stand assembly are designed to
ride on the rails of the track to keep the stand
and tractor straight. Position the rolling stand as
close as possible to the point where the tractor
will be split, except on the opposite side of the
split point from the stationary stand. (Image 3)

NOTE: There are bolts in the side of the track
sections. These are to be used as stops for the rolling
stand. DO NOT remove these stops and allow the
rolling stand to roll o from the track.

4. Raise the jacks on both stands, by turning the
screw using the crank handles, until they make
contact with the underside of the tractor. If
available, bolt the stands/spacers to the bottom
of the tractor. (Image 4)

Image 3

WARNING: WHENEVER POSSIBLE, THE STANDS/SPACERS MUST BE BOLTED TO THE TRACTOR

FOR STABILITY. USE HIGH GRADE BOLTS (GRADE 8 RECOMMENDED) AND HARDENED WASHERS.

WARNING: DO NOT LIFT THE TRACTOR USING THIS SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO

SUPPORT THE TRACTOR DURING SPLITTING, NOT TO LIFT THE TRACTOR.

5. Refer to the tractor service manual and proceed
with splitting the tractor. The rolling stand will
let you move the two sections of the tractor
apart and back together again when service is
complete. Always use extreme caution when
splitting a tractor and rolling the sections of
tractor apart.

6. When the tractor is reassembled following the
tractor service manual and service is complete,
the splitting stands can be removed. Lower the
stands and disassemble the splitting stands by
reversing these instructions.
