CONNECTING THE RAKE TO THE TRACTOR
With the rake supported by the wheel tines
and the stand, back the tractor to the rake and
connect the tractor to the 3-pont linkage. After
connecting to the tractor, raise the machine
and remove the stand from the 3-point linkage.
Raise the rake using the tractor hydraulics un-
til the tines are off of the ground. Slide the
Lock Plate (27) to the rear "B" to allow the
rake to "float" during operation (See Illustration
7). This will allow the rake to adapt to irregular
ground and reduce wheel damage.
IMPORTANT: The lock plate must be in the
forward position "A" whenever the rake is be-
ing transported or not in operation.

OPERATION
The 3-Point Pin (10) is used to adjust the op-
erating position of the rake. Position "A" (See
Illustration 8) is used for raking position to the
right. Position "B" is used for raking to the left.
Illustration 8
By using adjustment holes 1 through 6 in the
right or left position minor adjustments can be
made when raking, spreading and turning the
crop. When transporting the rake, the stop pin
must be installed in position 7 (See Illustration
9).
