GROUND PRESSURE
Rake wheel ground pressure is adjusted by turn-
ing locking Nut and Collar (A) in to decrease pres-
sure or out to increase pressure. The length
of the Threaded Rod (B), between (A) and rear
Support (C), will determine the rake wheel
ground pressure. Measuring this distance or
counting the threads will give you the same
ground pressure on both rake beams.
RAKE BEAM TILT
The rake beam can be tilted from 0° to 10°. The 0° setting is to be used in normal conditions (dry and fluffy
hay). The settings up to 10° are used in harsh conditions (heavy green hay or rained on hay that is matted
into the stubble). To adjust the beam tilt, loosen the two Tension Bolts (A). Turn the two Adjustment Bolts
(B) to desired tilt (make sure the two adjustment bolts are turned in evenly). Retighten the two Tension
Bolts (A) securely. Repeat the same process on opposite rake beam.

RAKE BEAM ANGLE
Before the rake beams can be angled the center
frame must be widened first (as described in the
operation section), or the rear rake wheels will
make contact. After the center frame has been
widened, angle the rake beams to the desired
angle by using the left and right switches located
on the control box.
