ADJUSTMENTS While using your H&S Haymachine II, which is capable of turning and tedding quickly and efficiently, you might want to make adjustment changes to make it more efficient. As various conditions will effect the efficiency of your Haymachine II, only with experience will you know how to properly adjust the machine. Field conditions, weather conditions, and type and size of windrow and swath are some of the determining factors for proper teeth adjust- ment, height adjustment, and reel and ground speed to make your Haymachine II most efficient in gently moving, picking up, and fluffing all the hay.
Page 12
TEDDER REEL SPEED The tedder reel is driven hydraulically to allow the opera- tor to better coordinate the speed of the reel with the ground speed and teeth angle. Adjust reel speed with ground speed so when tedder reel passes over the windrow it gently lifts and fluffs the hay, but does not throw hay into the air.
Start the tractor and open the rate beam until it contacts the stop. Attempt normal operation of Haymachine II to determine if desired raking angle has been attained. If not, readjust following the same procedure previously described. Top Hole RAKE WHEELS The pressure of the rake wheels on the ground can be changed by changing the position of the spring where it attaches to the rake arm.

LUBRICATION (CONTINUED) The operator should become familiar with all lubrication points, and establish a systematic routine to insure com- plete and quick lubrication of the machine. Life expectancy of this or any other machine is dependent on regular maintenance including lubrication, proper adjustment, and bolt torque. GREASE FITTINGS WARNING There are 36 grease fittings on this machine.
FIELD OPERATION Now that you have properly checked over the H&S Haymachine II, lubricated it, and have it safely attached to the tractor, you are ready to put it into operation. The following steps will aid in proper and most effective operation of the Haymachine.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT FOURTH RAKE WHEEL Under normal conditions the three rake wheels will turn up to a 4 ’ swath or windrow. If you feel the need to increase raking width, a fourth rake wheel may be added to the rake beam. This extra wheel will allow you to turn up to a six foot swath or windrow.
