Page 9: Folding For Transport
FOLDING FOR TRANSPORT Do not fold for transport unless the tedder is on even ground. Folding on uneven ground can cause the tedder to tip over. Pull forward with the tractor before folding. This will straighten the wheels & position them ready for folding up. -
Page 10: Dealer Setup Instructions
DEALER SETUP INSTRUCTIONS Middle Wheels The Middle Wheel frames are stored on the Transport Arms for shipping. Unbolt the wheel frames from the transport arm. Install onto the rotor spindle casting with the “U” spindle to- wards the center of the tedder. When Finished, the tedder should look like shown in below in Figure 4. -
Page 11: Wheel Lock Links
Wheel Lock Links The Links for the wheel locks are positioned into black forklift plates when the tedder arrives at the dealer (Figure 5). This is so that the forklift doesn’t bend the link arms when picking up. After unloading the tedder, it is necessary to move the link arms by removing the zip ties and securing on the 3/4”... -
Page 12: Hitching
HITCHING Attaching to the Tractor Crank the jack up or down to align the tractor draw bar with the hitch. Figure 8 Figure 7 The tedder hitch is bolted on and can be adjusted up or down to accommodate various drawbar heights (Figure 7). -
Page 13: Transporting
TRANSPORTING Field Transport Never allow any riders on the tractor or the tedder. Remain fully aware of the width of the tedder in relation to objects you are passing. Never travel at speeds of more than 12 MPH in the field. Road Transport Adhere the suggestions for field transport listed above. - Page 14 FIELD SET UP To lower the tedder into tedding position, engage the hydraulics for the tilt cylinder first to raise the wings off of the chassis then engage the main hydraulics to unfold the wings. Be sure that nobody is around the tedder or the tractor as the wings are lowering. The tines and arms can cause serious injury to anybody that it comes into contact with.

Page 15: Adjustments
ADJUSTMENTS Tine Pitch Adjustments Figure 14 Figure 13 The tine pitch (the angle of the tine in relation to the tine arm) can be adjusted by reversing the eccentric spacer washer. The spacer position in Figure 13 will give the tine a less aggressive position as shown in Figure 14. The spacer position shown in Figure 15 will give the tine a more aggressive position as shown in Figure 16. -
Page 16: Axle Adjustments
Axle Adjustments The angle of the axles can be adjusted to raise or lower the whole machine. This will allow you to tilt the tedder forward more and get a more aggressive tedding action. The tedders are set at the factory to run in the middle setting (shown at right). -
Page 17: Gearbox Lubrication
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE NEVER PERFORM ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS OR INSPECTIONS ON ANY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT UNLESS THE TRACTOR IS SHUT OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE MACHINE. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO WORK WITH ANOTHER PERSON WHEN MAINTAINING OR SERVICING A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED AND HELP CAN BE ATTAINED EASIER WHEN ANOTHER PERSON IS AVAILABLE TO HELP. -
Page 18: General Lubrication
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE The rotor gearboxes (Figure 19) have been packed with grease at the factory and should not need to be maintained. However, they should be checked before each season to make sure the gears are still coated with a film of grease. If additional grease is needed, use several ounc- es of NLGI #0 gear grease. -
Page 19: Pto Shaft Lubrication
PTO Shaft Lubrication Grease the CV Joint (part that connects at tractor) every 50 Hours (3 loca- tions) Figure 22 The radial pin clutch on the primary driveline should be greased every 50 hours. Do not overgrease the radial pin clutch. Figure 23... - Page 20 LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE The center cross in all of the PTO yokes should be greased every 50 hours. Figure 24 plastic shielding should be lubricated at all times. If the shield feels tight when it is extended and retracted then lu- bricate as necessary.

Page 21: Transport Latch Lubrication
Transport Latch Lubrication Grease the Transport Shaft. Keep this shaft well lubricated on both sides. Figure 26 As is the case with any piece of new equipment, periodically check for loose bolts and nuts. Paint and parts settling after the initial vibrations are common and can cause bolts or nuts to loosen. -

Page 26: Fixing Timing The Outer Rotors
Fixing Timing of Outer Rotor The rotor gears are set at the factory and should not need to be serviced or retimed. However, when replacing a hexagonal drive shaft or gearbox it is necessary to time the rotors. The figures below show correctly timed rotors and incorrectly timed rotors. Figure 30: Rotors Timed Correctly Figure 31: Rotors Not Timed Correctly If something does happen that causes the gears to come out of time you can follow... - Page 27 STEP 1: Fold the tedder into transport mode with the landing arms slightly above the center rest plate. You will need to secure the middle wing from rotating or drifting away before removing cylinder bracket in the next step. One way to do this is the hook a strap between the two middle wings.
- Page 28 STEP 4: Use the prybar to slowly push the hex shaft down towards the outer end of the wing. The hex shaft only needs to be moved about 2.75” in order to retime the rotor. While pushing the hex shaft down slowly, continu- ously turn the rotor back and forth.
- Page 29 Figure 38 Figure 39 STEP 7: Turn the outer rotor until both conditions are met. When the rotor appears to be timed correctly, use a punch to push the hex shaft back to the original posi- tion. Do not force the hex shaft back through if it is tight. This may mean the profile of the hex shaft does not match the profile of the finger joint.
