Preparing For Operation - H&S 3108 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.
1. Attach rake to tractor with a hitch pin that has a safety locking
device. The hitch should be adjusted so the pole/tongue is level.
The main rake beams should also be level, or parallel to the ground
when in the raking position. If the rake beams are not level, refer
to the OPERATION & ADJUSTMENT Chapter in this Operator's
Manual for adjustment information.
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
The Kwik Pik system allows the operator to raise the rake wheels half way up, then lower it to the raking
TM
position. Both wings should touch the ground at approximately the same time. This system allows for a
quicker turn around at the end of the field.
When you have finished raking, and after the rake arms have returned to the transport position, close the
transport lock valves before transporting.
