5) Activate the LATCH hydraulics to fully secure the truss arms
into place. Make sure truss arm LATCHES ARE FULLY
ENGAGED before lowering harrow sections into eld position.
IMPORTANT: To prevent serious damage, ensure both
latches have fully engaged and then LOCK-OUT
the Latch & Endwheel circuit before operating. 4
6) Ensure the TRAILER HEIGHT is raised to MAXIMUM and
then lower the harrow sections into eld position using the
Transport Cylinders.

3) Back-up slowly. The wings will open up. Ensure there is lots of
room behind and to the sides. Back-up evenly so you don’t
damage the transport wheels.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to back-up evenly to avoid
serious damage to the transport wheels.

1) When placing machine into Transport position, keep the Trailer Height at Maximum.
2) Operate the transport hydraulics to fully raise the harrow sections.
3) Fully Rotate the endwheels before driving forward. The wing beams should fold back into transport position.
4) Install all frame transport pins (2), cylinder lock bars (2), and endwheel transport bars (2).
IMPORTANT: Endwheel transport bars MUST be installed during transport.
5) Ensure SMV sign and reectors are clean and lights are working. Follow all local transport laws when transporting.

CSetting Tine Angle, Pressure & Frame
• Straw should be dry.
• A speed of 8 to 12 MPH (12 to 16 KPH) is suggested to
efficiently shatter and spread straw and residue.
• The harrow sections can be set in Float Position ( ~ ),
where the section drags the ground under its own weight.
Remember When Operating:
• If machine leaves small clumps of straw, apply slight
down pressure by extending Transport cylinders.
• If machine leaves large clumps of straw, reduce
down pressure by retracting the Transport cylinders
and reducing the tine angle.

Tine Angle Adjustment There are no standard angles for running the tines, the operator
may adjust the tine angles as needed to achieve desired results.
FIELD PACKING
4321
CHEMICAL INCORPORATION 4321
RAKING 4321
Some suggested tine angle settings are shown, adjust as required:
Refer to Operator’s Manual for more
suggested tine angle setting info.
Strawmaster +may have either Manual or Hydraulic Tine Adjustment.
Manual models - Use the manual jacks
located on each harrow section. Start
at one end, set as desired. Set all the
other sections to the same setting.
(Manual shown)
Hydraulic models - Retract
rephasing tine angle
cylinders to raise tines.
Extend cylinders to lower.
Note: Actual settings will vary
with tine wear. Ensure trailer
and frame are leveled properly.
(Refer to Height Adjustment)
Hydraulic models - Re-syncronize the tine section cylinders by fully
extending the rephasing cylinders and holding for 30 seconds.
This should be repeated a few times daily or as needed, especially
in hilly conditions. Refer to manual for more information.

Tine Angle Indicator
• Check for missing, worn or damaged parts.
• Working points & pins • Grease Endwheel Turrets (25hrs)
Maintenance
(Check Machine Daily)
• Hydraulic Connections & Hoses
• Hubs & Spindles
* Refer to operators manual for complete safety and operation info.
• Tire Pressure:
41 PSI (283 kPa)
After Tine Angle Adjustment is complete, adjust wheel height until trailer frame is parallel to the ground. If needed, clevis height may be adjusted.
When set level with harrows...
Front & back tines apply equal pressure Front tines apply less pressure Front tines applying more pressure
When set higher... When set lower...
Trailer & Wing Beam Height Adjustment
NOTE: The trailer height indicator reads “0” when fully raised and “5” at the lowest height.
This is adjusted with the“Wheel Height Cylinders”. 1
Center Beam Torque Adjustment
NOTE: The applied beam torque shown on the indicator is adjusted by applying (+) or reducing (–)
pressure with the Transport Cylinders.
This circuit can also be placed into Float ( ~ )for better contouring in hills or uneven ground.
