Troy-Bilt OEM-290-260 Manual de usuario

Thank you for ordering the Troy-Bilt ®Sweep Cultivator for the PTO Horse Model

Tiller. To ensure the safe and proper assembly of this product, please read and

follow all instructions carefully. If you have any questions or problems concerning

the Sweep Cultivator, contact our Service Department using the information

provided on Page 4.

The solution to your cultivating problems is the

elimination of small, emerging weeds (up to 6-8" tall)

from your garden. You can remove these small weeds

easily by cultivating the top 1" or so of soil, using the

Troy-Bilt Sweep Cultivator. Cultivating to a depth of no

more than 1" lessens the chance of damage to the

roots of adjacent plants. Avoid digging deeper than 1"

to prevent bringing new weed seeds to the surface and

to prevent the drying out of the soil through exposure

to the air. The Troy-Bilt Sweep Cultivator is also ideal

for cultivating dry, dusty soil or clay while keeping soil

disturbance to a minimum. The Sweep Cultivator

blade skims beneath the soil without turning the soil

over.

Because the blade of the Sweep Cultivator is

mounted directly behind the wheels of your tiller, you

can precisely guide the Sweep Cultivator down a

garden row by aiming the whole tiller toward the far

end of the row, instead of steering by looking down at

the blade. Because the Sweep blade is slightly

narrower than the distance between the outer edges of

the wheels, you will not damage plants in adjoining

rows.

Follow instructions on the following pages for

assembling and using the Sweep Cultivator properly.

You will find the Sweep Cultivator to be one of the

most useful gardening tools.

THANK

YOU!

Photo 1: Cultivating right up to your plants is easy

with your Sweep Cultivator because the blade is

slightly narrower than the outer edges of the wheels.

Photo 2: Shallow cultivating is important to avoid

damaging the roots of adjacent plants. As the Sweep

rides along just under the surface, the ground ripples

in its wake.

PARTS LIST (Refer to Photo 3)

CHECK YOUR PARTS

Be sure to check the contents of your kit to make

sure that it contains all of the following parts.

TOOLS NEEDED

One 5/8" Open-end Wrench

One 11/16" Socket Wrench or Adjustable Wrench

DO YOU HAVE A TROY-BILT TOW HITCH?

To use the Sweep Cultivator, the Sweep

Cultivator must be connected to the Tow Hitch

attachment on the Power Unit. See Photo 2 on

Page 1. The two hitch-pins keep the Sweep on a

straight-ahead course. If you do not have a

Troy-Bilt Tow Hitch and the literature “How to

Install the Tow Hitch,” order these items by

contacting the Parts Department at the phone

number given on Page 4.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

Step 1: Assemble Mounting Brackets.

A. Align the slot in the channel mounting bracket with

the two holes on the back of the C-shaped bracket.

See Photo 4. First, place a 7/8" lockwasher on each

the the 1-3/4" bolts, and add a 7/16" flat washer.

Place one of the bolts approximately 1" from the top of

the slot, pass it through the slot, and thread it into the

C-shaped bracket. The head of the bolt should be on

the outer side of the channel mounting bracket. Install

the second bolt the same way in the remaining hole in

the C-bracket.

B. Using a 5/8" open-end wrench, alternately tighten

the two bolts securely. Neither of these bolts requires

a nut.

Step 2: Mount Sweep To Bracket

Assembly.

A. Place the bracket assembly (the channel bracket

and C-shaped bracket which you have just

assembled) into the concave channel of the Sweep

flange. Align the holes in the channel mounting

bracket with the holes in the flange. See Photo 5.

Place a 2" plow bolt through each hole in the Sweep

flange with the heads toward the front of the V-shaped

Sweep.

ATTACH SWEEP CULTIVATOR TO

TOW HITCH

As previously mentioned, the Sweep Cultivator

connects to the Tow Hitch Attachment on the Power

Unit. Attach the Sweep Cultivator to the Tow Hitch as

follows:

Step 1: Fit the C-shaped mounting bracket over the

top and bottom of the Tow Hitch and align the holes in

the hitch with those in the mounting bracket. See

Photo 8.

B. Slip a 7/16" lockwasher and then a 7/16" hex nut

onto each of the plow bolts. Using an 11/16" socket

wrench or an adjustable wrench, tighten bolts

alternately until both are secure. See Photo 6.

Step 2: Insert the two hitch pins through the outer

holes in the bracket and Tow Hitch. Placing both pins

in the outside holes keeps the Sweep straight. See

Photo 9.

C. Check carefully to make sure that all hardware is

secure. When fully assembled, your Sweep Cultivator

should look like the one in Photo 7.

Step 3: The Sweep Cultivator is now attached to the

Tow Hitch which, in turn, is connected to the Power

Unit. Your Sweep Cultivator is now ready for use.

USE OF THE SWEEP CULTIVATOR

The Troy-Bilt Sweep Cultivator slices cleanly

through the soil and is adjustable to various digging

depths. You control the depth by raising or lowering

the handlebars as you move the tiller forward, or by

loosening the bolts and raising or lowering the Sweep

in the channel. In this way, the depth can be set to

the individual needs of your garden and your soil

although, as was mentioned, the usual adjustment is

about 1" below ground level.

In parts of your garden which are not

Hiller/Furrrower areas, the Sweep Cultivator, used in

fast gear, can cultivate without raising dust and

without causing a loss of vital moisture from the soil.

For optimum control, walk directly behind the

Sweep Cultivator and hold the handlebars with both

hands. To cross a lawn, tip the tiller handlebars

upward so that the Sweep blade does not touch the

ground. Your cultivator cuts weeds off 1" or so

beneath the surface of the soil. The top of the weed

falls off and dies in the sunlight so that the remaining

root does not usually produce new growth. Weeds

smaller than 2-3", and those which have barely

emerged from the soil, are shocked by the movement

of the soil and the breakage of the root hairs. Even

though they are not cut directly, this impact often

stops further growth.

Photo 10: Guiding your Sweep Cultivator is easy.

The Sweep will find the level you have selected and

maintain it quite well.
