acquainted with all the adjustments and operating
procedures before attempting to operate your new
equipment. Remember, it is a machine and it has been
designed and tested to do an efcient job in most
operating conditions and will perform in relation to the
service it receives.
If special attention is required for some conditions, ask
your Dion Dealer; his parts and Service Organization will
be glad to help and answer any questions on operation
and service of your new machine.
THIS MANUAL SHOULD REMAIN WITH THE

FOLLOW A SAFETY PROGRAM
For proper operation of a Hay Pick-up Attachment, you must
be a qualied and authorized operator. To be qualied, you
must read and understand the written instructions supplied
in this Operator’s Manual, have training, and know the
safety rules and regulations for the job.
Some local regulations specify that no one under the age
of 16 years, for example, may operate power machinery.
This includes tractors. It is your responsibility to know what
these regulations are, and obey them, in the operating area
or situation. These will include, but are not limited to, the
following instructions for proper operation.
WARNING: An operator should not use alco-
hol or drugs which can change their alertness
or coordination. An operator on prescription or

been used to highlight certain situations. Each illustration
is numbered and the same number appears in the text in
parenthesis. This number is placed at the end of the written
text that refers to the illustration.
Remember that YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you, but also the people around
you. Study the features in this manual and make them a
working part of your safety program. Keep in mind that
this safety section is written only for this type of machine.

ATTACHMENT DRIVING CHAIN TIGHTENER
ADJUSTMENT - FIGURES 11, 12 AND 13
The initial adjustment of the tensioner is done by moving
the hay pick-up up and down. The spring stroke (item
1) is not adjustable and is limited to ensure the driving
chain (item 2) stays engaged in the sprockets (items 3)
when the hay pick-up is put in reverse.
1. Disengage the tensioner by rising the pivoting plates
(item 5) in their highest position. The tensioner
should be engaged in the highest hook, as shown in
gure 1. Install the safety pin (item 6).
2. Install the driving chain (item 2) between the forage
harvester and the hay pick-up (gure 2).
3. Pull down the lever (item 4) to move the tensioner
down and let it rest against the roller chain. Make
sure to take up all the loose in the roller chain.
4. Rise and lower the hay pick-up in order to determine
at which position the chain is less tight.

ROLLER - FIGURE 17
The roller (item 1) adjustment is done according to the
volume of the hay. The roller is initially adjusted for the
average hay. Tthe position of the roller can be adjusted
to adapt to the hay volume. For vertical adjustments,
remove the pin (item 2) and insert the roller assembly
into the 2nd hole provided for this purpose. Move the
spring bolt (item 6) to the rear hole.
There is also two holes at the end of the support bracket
(item 5). The roller can be brought closer or further from
the teeth, according to the operating conditions.
Finally, to change the forward/backward position, loosen
the nuts (item 4). Next, adjust to the desired position of
the windguard then tighten back the nuts (item 4).
