TRANSPORTING
To transport, retract the wings until they are in place against the tongue and install the locking pins so the pins capture
the lugs on the wings. Secure the pins in place with hairpin cotter pins.
CAUTION! Never transport rakes without locking pins in place.
Avoid sharp turns during transport to prevent contact between the rakes and the machine. Slow down when approaching
trees, fences, or ditches to avoid damage to rakes.
CAUTION! When towing on public roads, a slow moving vehicle (SMV) sign should be installed on the tractor so
it is visible to vehicles following. Warning lights should also be installed on the tractor so they are
visible to other motorists. Comply with state and local safety requirements at all times.
MAINTENANCE
1. Check hydraulic hoses periodically for cracks, abrasions, or leaks. Replace defective hoses immediately. Replace
worn or broken hoses and fittings with factory replacement parts only.
2. To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder and hoses, store the machine under cover. If cover is not available, remove
the cylinder and hoses and store under cover.
3. Check tightness of lug bolts and spindle setscrews after one hour of operation and every six months thereafter.
Check tire pressure whenever maintenance is performed.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate all points before operating for the first time and periodically as shown in the chart below. Keep all lubrication
fittings free of dirt and contaminates.
