Preparing For Operation - H&S 3108 Operator's Manual

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
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.
