OPERATION
2. The threaded rod in the adjustable link should
be adjusted so that no more than 3/4” of
threads are showing.
Never try to adjust spring tension with the rake in the working position. Raise the rakes to
the transport position before making adjustments. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury.
3. The width of the windrow can be adjusted by moving one or both rakes forward or backward on the wings.
To do this, loosen the U-Bolts securing the rake mounts and reposition the mounts. Moving the mounts
forward will widen the windrow. Moving the mounts back will make the windrow narrow. Extend the wings
and check for clearance around the tires before operating.
4. When one rake is to be used alone, leave the locking pin in place on the wing not used and pull the pin
securing the linkage between the sliding cylinder mount and the unused wing. The operation of the
remaining rake is not affected.
7. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE
Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the implement and tractor must be performed.
This includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped
and functional, and performing needed repairs. DO NOT operate the unit if the pre-operation inspection
reveals any condition affecting safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of damaged and missing
parts as soon as noticed. By performing a thorough pre-operation inspection and service, valuable down time
and repair cost can be avoided. OPS-U-0029
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted
component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up
to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death.
