USING THE TOOL The Model TP2148 & TP3272 have been designed to be a standard pull type cultipacker with the ability to have optional kits installed for use on multiple vehicles. Note: Transporting this cultipacker on hard road type surfaces can result in excessive packer wheel wear or possible packer wheel damage. With the optional wheel kit installed this cultipacker has been designed to be flipped over on tires for ease in transport. CAUTION: Care should be taken when flipping the cultipacker over for either use or transport. Place one foot on the packer wheels and securely hold when flipping. Improper flipping can result in bodily injury and/or property damage. With the optional 3-point kit installed this cultipacker has been designed to work on Category 1 3-point hitch systems. CAUTION: Care should be taken when either mounting or removing the cultipacker from a 3-point system. Securely support the cultipacker to prevent bodily injury and or property damage. Note: If both the wheel kit and 3-point kit were purchased, it will be necessary to remove the wheel kit before operating the cultipacker on a 3-point hitch mount. For best results it may be necessary to pack the soil before seeding and then pack the soil a second time after seeding. This is especially true with small seeds that require shallow seeding. 5B. MAINTENANCE There are two grease points on the cultipacker. There is a bearing on each end of the packer wheel shaft. It is recommended that these bearings be greased at least every 4 hours. In dusty conditions more frequent greasing may be necessary. 6MODEL TP2148 & TP3272 PARTS LIST Item Part # Description Quantity1 214021 Cup Washer - (Wheel Kit Only) 22 216012 Tension Lock Pin (5/8" Dia. x 3-1/2" Long) 13 216015 Lift Arm Pin (7/8" Dia.
