A signal word - DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION - is used
with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identies the most
serious hazards.
Safety signs with signal word DANGER or WARNING are
typically near specic hazards.
General precautions are listed on CAUTION safety signs.
FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Keep signs in good condition. Immediately replace any missing or damaged signs.
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
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.

Stay clear of rake when opening or closing main rake arm beams, or raising or lowering 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 oil ow from tractor to lift
cylinders whenever possible.
Be sure to raise rake wheels before opening or closing main rake beams.

SET-UP & ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Determine 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 Cap Screw Torque Values 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. (6.70 x 15 to 36 pounds.)
4. Lubricate the rake completely (See Lubrication Chapter in this Manual).
5. Tooth bolts must be torqued to 40 ft./lbs. to help prevent excessive tooth breakage.

TRANSPORT LOCKS
Rake Beam Locks
Transport locks are mounted to the front of the pole. (A) Shows the rake locked into transport position.
(B) Shows the transport locks in the convenient storage position, to be used when in the raking mode.
Rake Wheel Locks
Located at the rear of 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 as shown (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 rake to tractor with a hitch pin with a safety locking
device.
2. There are ten di󰀨erent positions to adjust the hitch on your
newrake.Hitch shouldbeadjusted so mainframe of therake
is level or parallel to the ground.
3. Remove weight from lift jack. Remove jack from pipe and
place on convenient storage mount located on the front top
of pole.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
4. Connect hydraulic hose for raising and lowering rake wheels from rake to a double acting valve on the
tractor.
5. Connect hydraulic hoses for opening and closing the rake to a double acting valve on the tractor.
6. Connect 7-pin electrical connector to tractor (If equipped with optional lighting).

OPERATION & ADJUSTMENTS
RAKING WIDTH
Rakingwidth isdeterminedbysettingthespring
loaded stop, located above the rear pole section
as shown.
WINDROW WIDTH
Windrow width is adjustable from 38″ to
58″. Adjustment is made by turning crank,
located on the left of the rear of the rake as
shown.
GROUND PRESSURE
Rake wheel to ground pressure is adjusted by
turning the threaded rod while the rake wheels
are in the raised position. This allows the tab nut
to stay stationary while the threaded rod rotates,
thus decreasing pressure, or increasing pressure.
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.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN
Stop the tractor engine, remove ignition key, and allow all mechanisms to stop before
cleaning or working on the machine.

OPERATION & ADJUSTMENTS
GAUGE WHEELS
Outboardgauge wheelsarelocatedonthe forwardsection ofeachrakebeam.Thesegauge wheelssupport
the rake beams to allow the rake wheels to better follow the contour of the ground. Located on the gauge
wheel pivot spindle is an adjustable brake assembly. Adjust brake by tightening bolt. The brake should
have enough tension to prevent zig-zag motion, but still allow the wheel to pivot when making corners.
