HEIGHT AND LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
The RR2109 Rake has an adjustment screw for the rear height adjustment. (See illustration
below) Turn clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the rake. With the rake setting on
level ground, set the height so that the tips of the tines are 1” (25mm) from the ground. This
setting will offer the best performance in most eld and crop conditions, however, in uneven
or rocky areas we recommend setting the tines higher off the ground to reduce tine wear and
stress. There is no advantage to having the tines actually hit the ground. Hitting the ground will
cause unnecessary wear on the tines, and will cause the hay to become contaminated with
dust, resulting in premature wear of other processing equipment. An occasional adjustment will
also be necessary to account for normal tine wear.
Your rake is also equipped with a leveling cylinder. This is on the front of the main frame and
can be adjusted quickly at any time to accommodate different draw bar heights. Simply turn the
handle clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower the front of the rake. NOTE: You will
get the best performance with the front of the rake slightly lower than the rear.
