ADJUSTING GROUND PRESSURE SETTINGS
7. Use this chart to adjust the rake ground pressure. When set properly, individual rake wheels should be light
enough to float over the ground while maintaining a constant ground speed. Each adjustable chain is equipped with
a threaded rod that is used to balance weight of the left and right side, and to make any fine adjustments. The chain
has three flexible links. If the illustrated settings do not flatten or bow down the leaf spring as shown, then relocate the
clevis on the second chain link and readjust.
CAUTION! The threaded rod in the adjustable link should be adjusted so that no
more than 3/4" of threads are showing (See Illustration 6).
CAUTION! Never try to adjust spring tension with the rake in the working position.
Raise the rakes to the transport position before making adjustments.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury.
8 WHEEL RAKE SETTINGS
The chain clevis should be in
holes 3 or 4 with the leaf spring
slightly bowed up or flat.
10 WHEEL RAKE SETTINGS
The chain clevis should be in
holes 2 or 3 with the leaf spring
flat or bowed down slightly.
12 WHEEL RAKE SETTINGS
The chain clevis should be in
holes 1 or 2 with the leaf spring
bowed down slightly to bowed
down.
8. The width of the windrow can be adjusted by moving one or both rakes forward or backward on the wings. To do this,
loosen the U-Bolts securing the rake mounts and reposition the mounts. Moving the mounts forward will widen the
windrow. Moving the mounts back will make the windrow narrow. Extend the wings and check for clearance around the
tires before operating.
When one rake is to be used alone, leave the locking pin in place on the wing not used and pull the pin securing the
linkage between the sliding cylinder mount and the unused wing. The operation of the remaining rake is not affected.
