OPERATION
6.2 Setting the Rake
1. Set the rake angle by repositioning the 5/8” bolt
in the rake mounting bracket. Six holes are
available for adjustments.
Note: See the rake operator’s manual for more
information on setting the rakes.
2. Working speed is normally 5 to 10 mph. Speed
varies with different hay conditions for terrain.
Note: Consult the rake operator’s manual for
complete operation instructions.
3. To raise the rakes, apply hydraulic pressure to
extend the hydraulic cylinder. When the wings
are in the retracted position, install the
transport pins in the frame to lock the wings in
place.
6.3 Wing Adjustment
The wings must be adjusted so that both wings
retract into the transport position at approximately
the same time. With the rakes removed from the
wings, disconnect the adjustable link between the
sliding cylinder mount and the left wing. Clear the
area around the machine and extend the cylinder
until the right wing just retracts into the lock
position. Manually retract the left arm to the same
position and adjust the link until the pin drops into
the pivot point. Turning the threaded rod end “in”
will cause the wing to move towards the tongue.
Secure the pin when the adjustment is complete.
DO NOT allow any person under a folded wing unless wing is securely
locked up or supported. DO NOT approach the Implement unless the
Tractor is turned off and all motion has ceased. Never work under the
frame work, or any lifted component unless the implement is securely
supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these
components could cause serious injury or even death.
(STI-03)
Use extreme care when lowering or unfolding the implement’s wings. Make sure no
bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow ample clearance around the
implement when folding or unfolding the wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or
overhead power lines.
