Safety Guidelines
• Use genuine factory parts or parts
with equivalent characteristics, includ-
ing type, strength and material. Fail-
ure to do so may result in product mal-
function and possible injury to the op-
erator and/or others.
• If hardware is not secure, or if some of
the hardware is over-tightened, equip-
ment failure may result, posing poss-
ible safety hazards.
• To prevent possible eye injury, always
wear SAFETY GLASSES while oper-
ating equipment.
• Replace locknuts and locking screws if
you can tighten them without feeling
considerable resistance for several
turns before they are completely tight.
Replace them with factory authorized
parts or their equivalent.
Guards & Shields
• Keep all safety devices in place.
• Replace all worn, damaged, unusable,
missing or lost safety shields and
guards before operating the equip-
ment.
• Keep the equipment in good operating
condition.
Safety Decals
• If safety related or instructional decals
become illegible or are removed, re-
place them immediately. New decals
may be obtained from your local Harp-
er Dealer.
• If you replace parts that have such
decals attached to them, make sure
the decals are replaced with current
versions, and are on the replacement
parts before the machine is operated
again.
Hydraulics
To prevent serious injury or death:
• Relieve pressure on system before
repairing, adjusting or disconnecting
any hydraulic hose or tting.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection
when searching for leaks.
• Use wood or cardboard instead of
hands when looking for leaks.
• Keep all hoses, ttings and compo-
nents in good operating condition.
• Do not use any type of heat or ame
(welding, soldering, cutting torch, etc.)
near pressurized hydraulic lines.
SAFETY WARNING!
HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID HAZARD!
Escaping uid under pressure can pene-
trate skin causing serious injury or death.

Set-Up Instructions
Your SUPER SLICER is shipped from
the factory in a “knockeddown” position to
make it easier to transport. If it is necessary
for you to transport your Super Slicer you will
again need to “knock it down” in order to get
within the legal limits of most public roads. If
transport is necessary or if you have received
your machine in the “knocked-down” position
follow the instructions below to set it up
correctly.
1. Raise the backboard (1) into an up-
right position and secure loosely with
two 1/2” bolts (5) provided on each
end. (See Fig. 1)
2. Set sides (2) in place and fasten down
with ve 5/16” bolts (3) located on the
table sides.
3. Tighten top hold-down brackets (4).
(See Fig. 1).
4. Tighten four 1/2” bolts described in
instruction 1 above.
5. Slide the table into the feeding position
(away from the loading arm) and
secure with bolts (1) provided, one at
each end. (See Fig. 2)
SAFETY WARNING!
OPERATING THE SUPER SLICER LIFT-
ING ARM WITH THE TABLE IN THE ROAD/
TRANSPORT POSITION WILL DO DAMAGE
TO THE LIFT ARM LINKAGE!

Super Slicer
Operation
NOTE: BEFORE OPERTATING YOUR
NEW SUPER SLICER MAKE A COMPLETE
INSPECTION OF ALL COMPONENTS TO
INSURE THAT ALL THE NUTS AND BOLTS
ARE TIGHT AND THAT NO DAMAGE HAS
OCCURRED DURING SHIPPING.
HYDRAULIC REQUIREMENTS
Your new DEWEZE SUPER SLICER is de-
signed to be used as a mobile feeding unit
mounted on a trailer or as a stationary unit
in a permanent installation. Regardless of
the type of use the SUPER SLICER WILL
REQUIRE 15 GPM (gallons per minute) of
hydraulic oil ow and a minimum of 1800 PSI
(pounds per square inch) hydraulic pressure
to operate properly. Be sure that the hydrau-
lic system you intend to use is functioning
properly and that the oil is clean and of good
quality.
Two hydraulic remotes are required to oper-
ate the trailer mounted Super Slicer. One is to
control the lift arm for loading the bales and
the other is to operate the slicer table. Each
remote must be capable of reversible ow.
You may want to mark the remotes to make
sure that you hook up the hydraulics the
same way each time you use the machine.
NOTE: When using a hydraulically driven
Super Slicer II continuously (for more than
3 bales in 10 minutes) the following adjust-
ments must be made to tractors equipped
with a high ow, pressure compensated load
sense hydraulic system.
1. Flow (speed) must be controlled on
the tractor remote outlet. To set this
speed rst set the Slicer ow as
outlined in the manual. Secondly,
turn the ow control toward the “turtle”
on the tractor selective control outlet
until the speed begins to decrease.
Stop turning as soon as you can notice
a decrease in speed. Failure to follow
these procedures may result in the
overheating of the tractor hydraulic
system, as the system will be at
maximum ow and pressure. (Load is
sensed at the tractor selective control
valve and if this valve is wide open the
system is at constant maximum
pressure / ow.
2. The alternative to the above is to buy a
“ow limiter valve” and attach it
between the quick disconnect and the
hose on the pressure side.
3. On PTO model Super Slicer II, ow
must also be regulated at the selective
control outlet for the slat motor.
NOTE: If the above instructions are not fol-
lowed, the following symptoms may develop:
Rapid heating of the tractor hydraulic
oil, this will show up as a loss of speed
on the hydraulic motor speed. These

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
(Trailer Mounted Unit Only)
Approach the bale on its right side with the
lift arm lowered to the ground. If your trac-
tor is equipped with dual rear wheels, you
may have to reposition the tongue to allow
the tractor to pass the bale. (See the instruc-
tions above). Cradle the bale in the lift fork
by moving forward so that the bale is against
the back of the fork. Lift the bale all the way
up so that the bale rolls onto the table slats.
Move the bale toward the sickle by activating
the feeder and stop as the bale reaches the
sickle. To load and carry a second bale, re-
peat the above process and raise the second
bale until it rests snuggly against the rst.
NOTE: Be sure to raise the lift arm to the
upright position and latch the safety chain
whenever you transport your super slicer on
the road!
FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
To engage the feeding operation of the Su-
per Slicer, idle the tractor engine, engage the
slicer table hydraulics and increase the en-
gine speed to 2100 RPM. This is the optimum
speed for processing for most tractors and
will process an average bale in approximately
four minutes at the minimum feeder setting.
SAFETY WARNING!
Stay clear of the table and cutter bar when
the machine is in operation!
If the system stalls, reverse the slats and try
again. If stalling continues, increase the RPMs
of the tractor about 10 percent.
NOTE: Always wait until the rst bale has
been processed completely and the table
slats have stopped before loading the second
bale onto the table.
SAFETY WARNING!
Excessive sickle speed may cause table vi-
bration and damage to the hydraulic motor
and/or the sickle!
FEEDING RATE
The feeding rate may be adjusted by chang-
ing the speed of the feeder chain, or by
adjusting the distance between the sickle and
the table slats. To change this distance, use
the following procedure.
SAFETY WARNING!
Turn off tractor and disconnect the hydrau-
lic hoses before making any adjustments
to the sickle! Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury!
1. Loosen the two 5/8” hex bolts (1) and
two 5/8” carriage bolts (2) that hold the
sickle bar in place. (See Fig. 3)
2. Screw the 3/4” all thread adjustment
bolts (3) in or out at each end of the
sickle. Make sure that each end is
adjusted so that the sickle is parallel
with the table slats. Use a tape
measure to gauge each end.
Adjustments

Super Slicer
NOTE: The backboard will slide up or down
in relation to the sideboards without loosen-
ing any other bolts.
3. Retighten the four 5/8” bolts loosened
in step one on previous page.
4. Adjust the Pitman rod assembly as
follows to set the sickle register.
(Fig. 4)
A. Loosen two 3/8” socket head
screws (1) on turnbuckle.
B. Rotate Pitman arm turnbuckle
(2) 1-1/2 times for every one inch
that the thickness was changed
(Step two above).
SHORTEN THE ARM when reducing
the thickness of cut
LENGTHEN THE ARM when
increasing the thickness of cut.
C. Loosen two 3/8” socket head
screws loosened in Step A.
NOTE: Improper sickle register causes
machine vibration and shear bolt breakage in
PTO models..
FLOW CONTROL VALVE ADJUSTMENT
The ow control valve on the right controls
the speed of the sickle; the valves loosen the
knob on the adjustment lever and move the
lever to higher number to increase speed,
and to lower the number to decrease speed.
After moving the lever, tighten the knob to
hold the lever in place.
For initial setting of the valves, set each
adjusting lever on “5”. Fine tune the speed of
the sickle and slats by adjusting the valves
individually to get the proper cutting for the
type of hay you are processing.
SICKLE DRIVE ADJUSTMENT
The sickle and drive are pre-set at the factory.
If the drive needs to be set because of loose
bolts, sickle change, etc., use the following
procedure:
SAFETY WARNING!
Turn off and depressurize the hydraulic
power source before working on the sickle
in any way by activating the controls both
ways with the system off.
1. Disconnect the chain coupler (1) of the
drive motor. (Fig 5)

Super Slicer
2. Loosen 4 bolts (1) on Bell Crank (2).
(See Fig. 6). Position the Bell Crank
so that the Bell Crank arm connected
to the sickle head (3) is perpendicu-
lar to the Pitman rod (4). Use a
square as shown to set the center line
of the arm perpendicular. The center
of the sickle sections (5) should be
midway between the points of the stub
guards (6). If not, adjust the tie rod
end
on the sickle head to center the sickle
sections.
3. Adjust the Bell Crank so there is no
more than 1/16”clearance between
sickle bar (7) and back of stub guard.
Tighten 4 mounting bolts.
4. Keeping Bell Crank in perpendicular
position, loosen the 3/8” socket
head screws (8), and adjust the
Pitman Arm Turnbuckle (9) until the
Pitman Arm mounting bolt (10) is
either TOP DEAD CENTER or
BOTTOM DEAD CENTER. Tighten
socket head screws.
5. Be sure that all guards and shields are
back in place before operating the
machine.
