SAFETY INFORMATION
OBSERVE MAXIMUM TRANSPORT SPEED
The maximum transport speed for this implement is 32 km/h (20 mph).
Some tractors are capable of operating at speeds that exceed the maximum
transport speed of this implement. Regardless of the maximum speed capability
of the tractor being used to tow this implement, do not exceed the implement’s
maximum transport speed.
Exceeding the implement’s maximum transport speed can result in:
* Loss of control of the tractor/implement combination
* Reduced or no ability to stop during braking
* Implement tire failure
* Damage to the implement structure or its components
Use additional caution and reduce speed when towing under adverse surface
conditions, when turning, and when on inclines.
Do not attempt transport if the fully loaded implement weighs more than 1.5 times
the weight of the tractor.

WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
Study The Above Safety Rules
ATTENTION - BE ALERT - YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED
H&S Manufacturing Co. always takes the operator and their safety into consideration and guards exposed
moving parts for their protection. However, some areas cannot be guarded or shielded in order to assure
proper operation. In addition, the operators manual and decals on the machine itself warn you of further
danger and should be read and observed closely.
DO NOT ALLOW PERSONNEL OTHER THAN THE QUALIFIED OPERATOR NEAR THE MACHINE.
Stop the tractor engine, remove ignition key, and allow all mechanisms to stop before cleaning,
working, or adjusting on machine.
DO NOT attempt to perform maintenance or repair with tractor running.
DO NOT step up on machine at any time.
DO NOT allow minors to operate or be near the machine.
Loose or oppy clothing should not be worn by the operator.
Stay clear of hydraulic lines, they may be under extreme pressure or heat.
Stay clear of the rake when opening or closing main rake arm beams, opening the backbone or raising
and lowering the rake wheels.
For transport, always make sure that the hair pin at the rear of the lift pipes, and the transport lock bars
with safety clip pins for main rake beam, are securely locked in place.
To reduce stress on rake arms, lift pipe, springs and spring brackets, reduce the oil ow from the tractor
to the lift cylinders whenever possible.
Be sure to raise the rake wheels before opening or closing the main rake beams.
TRACTOR:
This operator’s manual uses the term “Tractor” when identifying the power source.
BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT, READ AND STUDY THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO OPERATES OR WORKS
WITH THIS EQUIPMENT, WHETHER FAMILY MEMBER OR EMPLOYEE, IS FAMILIAR WITH THESE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

SET-UP & ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Determine the right or left side of the wheel rake by viewing it from the rear. If instructions
or parts lists call for hardened bolts, refer to the Cap Screw Torque Value Chart.
1. Assemble the rake or check the rake for proper assembly and adjustment. Make sure that all
bolts are tightened.
2. Attach the wheels with tires, using the lug nuts furnished and torque the mounting hardware to
95 ft./lbs. of torque. Check wheel bolts periodically thereafter.
3. Check tires and inate to the recommended pressure. (IF240/80R15IMP to 35 pounds)
4. Lubricate the rake completely (See Lubrication Chapter in This Manual).

TRANSPORT LOCKS
Latch System
The Latch System (A) is mounted at the front of the pole. When the rake is in the transport position,
make sure that the safety pin on each latch is placed in the hole (B) before transporting on the highway.
Rake Wheel Locks
Located on the lift pipe is a hair pin which is used to secure the rake wheels in the up position for transport
(C). When in the down or raking position, place the locking hair pin in the convenient storage position
hole (D).
TRANSPORTING
TOWING ON HIGHWAY
Follow state and local regulations when towing farm equipment on public highways. Never tow the rake
on a public highway at a speed greater than 20 mph (32 kph).
REFLECTORS
Red and Amber reective safety decals are on the rake for safety. Refer to the Decal Placement Chapter
for location.

1. Adjust the tractor hitch (13 to 17 inches above
ground) and attach the rake to the tractor with
a hitch pin and a safety locking device.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
2. Remove the weight from lift jack. Remove the jack from the pipe and place it on the convenient
storage mount located on the front top of rake beam (A).
3. Connect the hydraulic hoses for raising and lowering the rake wheels to a double acting valve on
the tractor.
4. Connect the hydraulic hoses for opening and closing the rake to a double acting valve on the tractor.
5. If the rake is equipped with the optional Hydraulic Rear Opening Width Cylinder, connect the hydraulic
hoses to a double acting valve on the tractor.
6. Connect the 7-pin electrical connector to tractor if the rake is equipped with optional transport
lighting.

OPERATION & ADJUSTMENTS
RAKING WIDTH
Raking width is determined by setting the spring loaded stop, located above the rear pole section as shown.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN
Stop the tractor engine, remove ignition key, and allow all mechanisms to stop before
cleaning or working on the machine.
Latch System
The Latch System (A) is mounted at the front of the pole. When the rake is in the transport position,
make sure that the safety pin on each latch is placed in the hole (B) before transporting on the highway.
Before opening for eld operation, remove the safety pins and place them in the storage position hole.
Lift up on the handle of the latch to release the transport lock. Hydraulically open the rake to raking width.
Place the safety pins back in the latch mechanism after opening. For transport, remove the safety pins
from the latch mechanism, hydraulically close the rake to transport position, clamp each latch mechanism
around each pin and replace the safety pins.

OPERATION & ADJUSTMENTS
GAUGE WHEELS
Outboard gauge wheels are located on each rake beam. These gauge wheels support the rake beams
to allow the rake wheels to better follow the contour of the ground. The gauge wheels can be mounted
in two di󰀨erent positions. The mid-mount position is better for rolling hills. Located on each gauge wheel
pivot spindle is an adjustable disc brake assembly. Adjust the brake by loosening or tightening the nuts.
The brake should have enough tension to prevent zig-zag motion, but still allow the wheel to pivot when
making corners. Rule-of-thumb is to have spacing the gap of a dime between the spring coils.
Adjustable Brake Assembly Nuts
GROUND PRESSURE
Rake wheel to ground pressure is adjusted
by turning the tab nut on the threaded rod
while the rake wheels are in the raised
position. Setting the ground pressure as
light as possible will reduce ash content
in the crop. The further forward that the
nut is on the threaded rod, the lesser the
amount of rake wheel ground pressure. The
further back that the nut is on the threaded
rod, the greater the amount of rake wheel
ground pressure. After adjustment has
been made, lock the bolt down to keep the
proper setting.
WINDROW WIDTH
Windrow width adjustment is made by the ratchet jack located on the right rear of the rake as shown.
An optional Hydraulic Cylinder Opening Windrow Width Adjustment is optional in place of the standard
ratchet jack. This option requires a 3rd tractor remote. Windrow Width Adjustment Jack
