1) Remove Transport Locks from the 8 Wing Beam
connections and 2 Endwheel locations.
2) Slowly Back-up Strawmaster Assembly while extending
the Endwheel steering cylinder on only one wing to
spread the wing partially open to a minimum of 45°.
IMPORTANT: To avoid contact of harrow sections
between the wings while unfolding.
3) When the rst wing has been unfolded 45° or more, you
can start extending the Endwheel steering cylinder on
the second wing.
4) When the autofold swing arms are close to closing you
can activate the endwheel cylinder circuit again to
open the latch clamp.
Note: Ensure there is plenty of room behind
and to the sides of the Strawmaster
before backing into eld position.
Important: To avoid contact or damage, open only one wing
a minimum of 45° before starting to open the second wing.

5) When the swing arms are in position, this circuit can be
activated again (fully extended) to close the clamps.
Note: If Latches have been left in the down position, the
Swing Arms can also be engaged by allowing the Swing
Arms to ride into the Latches and “click” into engagement.
Caution: Lock hydraulic functions for both wing circuits before
working in eld to avoid accidental operation while in use.
6) Lower the Harrow Sections down fully into eld position.

3) Drive forward until wing trails back approximately 45°.
4) Activate the second endwheel cylinder circuit to open the latch clamp on the opposite wing.
5) Drive forward slowly until both wings trail behind the center frame. Ensure end wheel cylinders are fully retracted.
IMPORTANT: Do not drive quickly when positioning wings or the wings may collide with each other.
6) Engage Transport Locks on all 8 Wing Beam connections and at both Endwheel locations.
7) Ensure lights are working and SMV sign is clean. Follow all local transport laws when transporting.

2 - Loosen top Jam nut arm
to allow adjustment.
4 - Re-tighten top Jam nut arm.
3 - Adjust bottom arm as needed.
1 - Lift harrow sections to relieve tension on springs.
(NOTE: A suggested starting distance, from top of
rod to top of lock nut is 3” for Light harrowing or
2” for Agressive harrowing. Increasing this
distance will raise front of the harrow
section, decreasing will lower it.)
For initial setup and each time
after you make adjustments
to the harrow tine angles, you
should check and ensure that
the harrow frame sections are
running parallel to the ground.
(Check that the front rows and back
rows are applying equal pressure)

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.
