STEP 6. Match (4) holes in bearing bracket (K), illustrated on facing page, to (4) holes in hanger support (R). DO NOT tighten bolts at this time. To get proper chain and sprocket alignment, Windrower rotor and drive chain case must be 90° to each other.
2.2 ADJUSTMENTS Preliminary adjustments are made in the factory and during set up. Some adjusting may be necessary in field. Machine was designed for a drawbar height of 16". Depth of Windrower inner end nearest rock wheel is adjustable in 1" increments as shown at (H) on Page 5.
rock box rock wheel Figure 1.1 Introduction to ROCK-EZE components 1 cubic yard caster wheel windrower with paddles installed Section 3: Introduction You have chosen a machine that will windrow and pick your rocks in one operation. There are some important points to remember in the operation of your 106 ROCK- EZE.
3.1 HYDRAULIC SPECIFICATIONS Any tractor having an adequate system (minimum of 12 G.P.M. and 1500 P.S.I. at tractor outlets) may be used on this rockpicker. The ROCK-EZE comes standard with hoses to accommodate triple outlets from the tractor. Optional kits are available for tractor with single or double outlets.
Section 4: Safety The safety of the operator is of great importance to DuraTech. We have provided decals, shield and other safety features to aid you in using your machine safely. In addition, we ask you to be a careful operator who will properly use and service your DuraTech equipment.
To assure that all decals remain in place and in good condition, follow the instructions below: • Keep decals clean. Use soap and water - not mineral spirits, adhesive cleaners and other similar cleaners that will damage the decal. • Replace all damaged or missing decals. When attaching decals, surface temperature of the machine must be at least 40°...
Page 23
• Make no modifications to this equipment unless specifically requested or recommended by DuraTech. • Tighten or replace any loose or cracked bolts, chains, hoses or connections. • Check overhead for electrical power lines or other obstructions and be certain there is adequate clearance before raising hopper.
• Relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system before disconnecting the lines or performing other work on the system (bucket must be down). Make sure all connections are tight and the hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the systems. CAUTION: Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can be invisible and have enough force to penetrate the skin.
Section 5: Operation To insure long life and economical operation, we highly recommend the operator of the ROCK-EZE be thoroughly instructed in the maintenance and operation of the machine. There is no substitute for a sound preventative maintenance program and a well trained operator.
5.2 Normal shutdown procedure WARNING: For your safety and the safety of others, you must use the following normal shutdown procedure before leaving the tractor controls unattended for any reason, including servicing, cleaning, or inspecting the ROCK-EZE. A variation of the following procedure may be used if so instructed within this manual or your tractor manual or if an extreme emergency requires it.

S I N G L E H Y D R A U L I C H O O K U P 5.3.3 Using the 106 ROCK-EZE with a tractor that has a single hydraulic outlet Attach (4) elbows and (2) bushings provided in kit to Hydraulic Valve. Mount Hydraulic Control Valve in suitable position on tractor.
5.4 Operating Tips • After machine is completely assembled as per assembly instructions, machine should be hooked to tractor drawbar. Jack should be removed from its mount and placed on second mount provided on top of main frame. This allows for shorter turning radius.
To prepare the ROCK-EZE for storage, perform the following steps: Clean all mud, dirt, grease and other foreign material from the exterior of the machine. Wash the complete machine. If washing the ROCK-EZE with a high-pressure washer, keep the nozzle away from the sealed bearings. Repaint places where bare metal is exposed - this will inhibit rusting.
Section 6: General maintenance NOTE: Before performing any service or maintenance on your ROCK-EZE, review the safety guidelines for performing service and maintenance in section 4.4 “Safety review” under the heading “WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE”. 6.1 Lubrication LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS: The operator should make a check of all grease fittings in the unit before beginning to operate it so as to become familiar with their location and the correct service schedule.
