Stop the tractor!! Check that the rake tines are at least 5 cm free from ground. Check by rotating by hand, that the baskets are free to rotate, and that no tines, tine bars or tine guides are bent or damaged. The basket wheel should rotate freely with a minimum of noise.
4. ASSEMBLY The ELHO V-Twin rakes are generally delivered assembled and tested from the factory. Therefore no assembly work should be needed. Just check that the machine is delivered without transport damages. It’s important to check the received machine compared to the order concerning the equipment’s.
Connect the hydraulic hoses. Start with ensuring a good connection for the free return line. The ELHO V-Twin rake is equipped with hydraulic couplings according to ISO 5676. It is unfortunately common that hydraulic quick-release couplings on different brands do not always suit each other to 100% although they NOTICE are made to the same nominal size and mechanically fit in each other.
6. ADJUSTMENTS 6.1. Raking height adjustment Normal setting is tine end 5 cm above the ground. Keep the setting as high as possible while still picking up crop. To set the initial raking height: 1. Open the rake on a level firm surface. 2.
6.3. Swath width The swath width is set by crank E. Adjust left and right hand baskets to equal width. Do not mowe the baskets more in than that the rubber bumper still is outside the elbow F. Risk of interference between the hydraulic motor and the frame.
6.6. Basket speed The basket speed is adjusted with the oil flow divider A. Normal basket speed is 80 - 100rpm. The slower the speed, the more gentle raking. The rotation speed is set from the hand knob A as the picture show.
Reduce the speed when turning and driving on uneven roads. Too high speed can create big chock loads to the construction, which might result in damages to the wheel arms and frame (not covered by the warranty). The maximum road speed for the ELHO V-Twin rake is 30 km/h.
8. MAINTENANCE To ensure a long and trouble free use of the machine, keep the machine clean and follow the maintenance instructions below. Before you perform maintenance, stop the tractor engine, engage the parking brake and remove the start key from the tractor. WARNING! Any hydraulic movements from the tractor are not permitted! Check regularly all bolts and nuts and re-tighten when necessary.
