The part manual covers all the parts you may need to order in case of accidents or breakdown .Included in this manual is the procedures on how to assemble the Bridgeview 14 Wheel Rake and optional 16 Wheel Extension Kit. Please read through this manual before beginning assembly.
2.0 SAFETY AND OPERATIONS 2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The following safety precautions MUST be followed to ensure the safe operation of the V-MAX: 1. This trailed machine was designed and intended for on-farm use only. Tow at speeds not to exceed 20 MPH. Slow down for hills, curves, rough areas, and in advance of braking to prevent loss of control and possible injury or death.
2.2 MACHINE MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION General maintenance of your V-MAX should be done on a regular basis. This includes checking all bolts to ensure they are tight, making sure all grease zerks are accepting grease and ensuring that all moving parts are functioning correctly.
2.3 WHEEL AND TIRE INFORMATION The proper tire pressure for the Bale King V-MAX is 35 psi. Proper tire inflation will help alleviate a puncture problem when pulling and operating the machine in rough terrain. The optimum tire size is 9.5L15SL, 8 Ply. ...
2.5 HYDRAULIC HOOK UP There are six hydraulic hoses to be connected to the tractor. All six hoses run out of the gooseneck of the rake, near the hitch. Green Hose controls the main wing cylinder, used to open and close the rake arms.
2.6.3 Retract Windrow Arms Ensure that the rear opening is in the narrow position by fully stroking the windrow adjustment cylinder. Then bring in the arms by retracting the wing cylinder until the front castors are brought in near the hitch. 2.6.4 Transport Links Ensure that the rear opening is in the narrow position by fully stroking the windrow adjustment cylinder.

Next insert the large end into the bracket at the bottom of the main frame. Pull out the self-locking pin and allow the inside tube to freely slide, then insert the small end into the bracket on the arm. Retract the wing cylinder until the self- locking pin locks in transport position.
Ensure that all of the tires are at the correct pressure and that all wheel bolts are secured. 2.7 WINDROW WIDTH ADJUSTMENT The rear opening of the V-Rake is adjustable using the windrow adjustment cylinder. It must be in the narrow position to be able to transport on the highway.
2.8 FIELD OPERATION The recommended raking speed is 8 mph (13 km/h), depending on field conditions. Rougher land and heavier windrows require slower operation. This will prevent damage to the rake wheels, and ensure that hay is picked up properly. For faster operation, it is recommended that rake wheel spring tension is increased to prevent bouncing of the tines.
