Preparing For Operation - H&S 2108 Operator's Manual

PREPARING FOR OPERATION

ADJUSTMENTS
There are 5 sets of holes on the adjustable hitch. In addition, the
hitch can also be flipped upside down to obtain 5 more positions,
for a total of 10 positions to adjust for levelness. The hitch should be
adjusted so the main rake beams are level, or parallel to the ground
when in the raking position.
1. Adjust the tractor hitch (13 to 17 inches above ground) and attach
rake to tractor with a hitch pin that has a safety locking device.
2. Remove the weight from the lift
jack. Place the jack in the storage
position.
3. Connect the 2 hydraulic hoses for raising
and lowering rake arms to the tractor.
Open the 2 hydraulic transport lock valves
and operate the tractor valve to fill the
hydraulic lines and operate the cylinders.
Add hydraulic fluid to the tractor system,
as required.
Kwik Pik System
Raise the Rake to the Kwik
Pik position as shown in
TM
the picture, then lower it to the
raking position. Both wings
should touch the ground at
approximately the same time.
After the rake arms have
returned to the transport
position, close the transport
lock valves before transporting.
