SAFETY

A brief description of signal words that may be used in this manual:

CAUTION: Used as a general reminder of good safety practices or to direct attention to unsafe practices.

WARNING: Denotes a specific potential hazard.

DANGER: Denotes the most serious specific potential hazard.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

You can make your farm a safer place to live and work if you observe the safety precautions given. Study
these precautions carefully and insist that they be followed by those working with you and for you.

WARNING

Never clean, lubricate or adjust a machine that is in motion. Always lower or block the implement before
performing service.

If machine must be serviced in the raised position, jack or block it up to prevent it from accidentally falling
and injuring someone.

Do not allow riders on the tractor or implement.

Use speeds and caution dictated by the terrain being traversed. Do not operate on any slope steep enough
to cause tipping or loss of control.

Be sure all personnel are clear of the immediate area before operating.

Read and understand the operator’s manual and require all other persons who will operate the equipment
to do the same.

Be familiar with all tractor and implement controls and be prepared to stop engine and implements quickly in
an emergency.

CAUTION

Consult your implement and tractor operator’s manual for correct and safe operating practices.

Beware of towed implement width and allow safe clearance.

FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN PERSONEL INJURY OR DEATH.

BOLT TORQUE

Mounting bolts and hardware

Before operating the 6200 Spike Closing Wheel for the first time, check to be sure that all
hardware is tight. Check all hardware again after approximately 50 hours of operation
and at the beginning of each planting season.

All hardware used is Grade 5 unless otherwise noted. Grade 5 cap screws are marked
with three radial lines on the head. If hardware must be replaced, be sure to replace it
with hardware of equal size, strength and thread type. Refer to the torque values chart
when tightening hardware.

Important: Over tightening hardware can cause as much damage as when
under tightening. Tightening hardware beyond the recommended range can

reduce its shock load capacity.

The chart below is a guide for proper torque. Use it unless a specified torque is called out
elsewhere in the manual.
Torque is the force you apply to the wrench handle or the cheater bar, times the length of the
handle or bar.
Use a torque wrench whenever possible.

The following table shows torque in ft. lbs. for coarse thread hardware.

Lubricate all bearings and moving parts as assembled and make certain that they work freely.

WARNING: Never work around the toolbar/implement while in a raised position without using
safety lockups.

CAUTION: The 6200 Spike Closing Wheel attachments are very heavy. Pay extra attention to
lifting techniques while handling and or maneuvering the opener during assembly. Failure to do so

may lead to personal injury.
