7. SETTING THE WINDROWER

Properly setting the height is essential for efficient and safe operation. A properly set implement will windrow

more evenly and require minimal tractor work, and follow the contour of uneven terrain.

NOTE: Avoid very low windrowing heights, striking the ground with the teeth gives the most damaging shock

loads and will cause damage to the windrower and drive. Windrower teeth contacting the ground may cause

objects to be thrown out from under the windrower deck.

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.

The windrower is set at the factory for optimal

windrowing performance. If you need to make

adjustments to this settings, or reset the windrower

for any reason, follow these instructions.

NOTE: The rock windrower must be in working

position before the drum can be adjusted. To adjust

the drum the following procedure is recommended:

1. First find a level piece of ground or concrete

pad to set the machine on.

2. Insert the 1-3/8" diameter transport pin in the

lock pin hole. Refer to Figure Ops-849.

Ensure that no one is near the machine while hydraulics are being created

3. Lower the windrower drum until the rear wheels are lifted off the ground slightly.

4. Loosen the bolts holding the axle plates, and adjust the plates so the right axle is 1" lower than the left axle

plate. This is to help bring material to the surface.

Periodically re-check the tightness of the axle plate bolts especially before transporting the

machine on public roads.

5. Remove the transport pin from the lock pin hole and return it to the storage hole on the main frame.
