3. Install the tongue on the main frame using three 5/8" x 2" bolts, nuts, and lockwashers. On some models, a
reinforcing plate is used. If so, install the plate beneath the tongue and main frame using six 1/2" x 1 1/2" bolts, nuts,
and lockwashers. Install a hose support on the top bolt as the tongue is installed. If the optional extended tongue is
used, install the extension between the main frame and tongue using the bolts provided and install a second reinforcing
plate if used.
4. Install the threaded rod hose holder in the threaded hole on top of the tongue. Install a 1/2" jam nut on the rod before
installing. Tighten the jam nut after the rod is position.
5. Install the support jack on the tongue using the pin supplied.
6. Install the tire on the wheel rims supplied and install the rims on the hubs. Torque the four lug bolts on each wheel
to 75 Ft-Lbs.
Note: The height of the tires used will effect the operation of the wheel rakes. It is recommended that 195 x 14" tires
be used.
7. Two hydraulic hoses, 1/4" x 188" and one 1/4" x 192" are included. Connect the longer hose to the rear port of the
cylinder using a 90
0
elbow. Connect the shorter hose to the front port using a 90
0
elbow. Route the hoses through the
hose holder on the tongue. Install the restrictor swivel on the male end of one hose. When the cylinder is replaced or
reinstalled, the ports must go to the left side of the carrier when facing forward.
Important: Do not operate without restrictor installed.
Before installing hydraulic lines, check for foreign material in lines. Keep hoses and fittings clean at all times. Be sure
all connections are properly sealed to avoid leakage.
CAUTION! Do not exceed manufacturers maximum hydraulic system pressure at 2500 psi.
If the optional tongue extension is used, install the two 1/4" x 48" hoses included in the kit on the 188" and 192" hoses
using the 1/2" NPT couplers provided. Install the restrictor fitting on the end of one extension hose.
WARNING! Always wear protective eye goggles and use a magnifying glass or hold a piece of wood on suspected
leaks. Pinhole hydraulic leaks can penetrate skin. Do not touch.
Note: If fluid penetrates the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with the form of
injury or gangrene may result. Make sure the weight of the machine has been taken off the hydraulic cylinder before
disconnecting hydraulic hoses.
8. Install the hose holder on the tongue center just forward of the cylinder using a capscrew and lockwasher. Secure
the hoses on the holder with the clip, capscrew, lockwasher, and nut.
9. Install the rake mount assemblies on the wings, as shown, using two U-bolts, nuts, and lockwashers to secure
each assembly.
Note: Left and right mounting heads are used. See the Parts List on page 10 for proper identification of left and right
mounting heads (Part No. 6 & 6A).
Measure from the front edge of the wing to the center of the rake mount to determine the approximate location of the
rake (See Illustration 3).
