Position the tongue so that the diameter of 19mm x length of 118mm shaft welded to the tongue is straight up. Orientate the axle (#1) so the lift arm hinges welded to the axle face away from the tongue.
- Page 6 STEP 4: ATTACH CABLE PIVOT BAR Attach the two lift chain bars (K) to the 19mm x 118mm shaft on the tongue assembly. Install each chain bar on top of shaft; use a 5/16” nylock nut (M). The chains should be positioned facing the rear of rake.

Usage Note: Note the lift arm offset in figure 7. Assembling lift arms with the offset towards inside will make a narrower space when raking.
- Page 8 CAUTION: Do not over tighten locknut as it will cause bearing damage in the rake tine wheel hub. Rake tine wheel should spin freely. Assemble opposite side. Make certain that the three rake tine wheels on opposite side are positioned as shown in figure 10.

Follow Steps 11, 12, and 13 for each lift arm. These steps are to make sure rake reel tines will: (1) lift high enough for towing clearance, and (2) rake tines will reach the ground properly for raking or de-thatching.
