5.2 Connecting the Multi Rake Windrower and Skid Steer Hydraulic Lines
1. Before connecting the windrower hydraulic
lines to the skid steer auxiliary hydraulic ports,
be sure that the hydraulic output capacity of the
skid steer matches the rated capacity of the
SMR-800 and that the hydraulic lines and quick
couplers are of the same size and type.
2. With the skid steer completely shut down and
secured in position and the SMR-800 resting at
ground
level,
relieve
pressure by moving the control levers back and
forth several times.
3. When connecting the skid steer hydraulic lines
to the windrower, keep hoses, quick couplers,
and swivels free of contamination. Clean dirt
and other debris from the connections with a
clean rag to prevent contamination of the
hydraulic oil.
4. The SMR-800 will operate with oil fed in either direction. If the drum turns in the opposite direction than
desired, try engaging the auxiliary hydraulic flow in the opposite direction.
5. Once hydraulic lines are properly connected for operation, secure cordura sleeving over couplers to retain
possible leaks.
NOTE: If hydraulic lines are removed from the pump or if couplers are removed from hose ends, ensure lines
and couplers are replaced in the same configuration as removed to ensure correct oil flow direction is
maintained.
Hydraulic Cylinder Priming
Hydraulic Cylinder must be filled with hydraulic oil before operating. Hydraulic cylinders and lines are filled by
holding the valve control levers in the extended position until the cylinder fully retracts and extends. Place
control levers in the float position and repeat process several more times to purge all air from the system.
6. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE
Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the windrower and power unit must be performed.
This includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped
and functional, and performing needed repairs. Do not operate the windrower and power unit if the pre-
operation inspection reveals any condition affecting safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of
damaged and missing parts as soon as noticed. By performing a thorough pre-operation inspection and
service, valuable down time and repair cost can be avoided.
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted
component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up
to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death.
