5. Hook driveline safety chain in the hole in the inner
driveline guard. Attach the other end to the Powered
Rake’s main frame.
6. Start tractor and raise Powered Rake just enough to
remove blocks used to support the deck in step 3a.
7. Slowly engage the tractor’s hydraulic 3-point to lower
the Powered Rake. Check for sufficient drawbar
clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside or remove if
required.
Hydraulic Hook-up (Optional)
!
DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be treated by a
doctor within a few hours or gangrene may result.
1. Attach hydraulic couplers (supplied bythe customer)
to the end of hydraulic hoses.
1. Connect hydraulic hoses to tractor remote duplex
outlet. The hoses on each outlet should be
connected such thatwhen the control lever ispushed
“forward”, the right side rotates forward. If the lever
operates in reverse, change hose hook-up at the
duplex receptacle.
2. Cycle hydraulic system by cycling the hydraulic
cylinder several times. It may be necessary to purge
the system of trapped air if operation remains
sluggish. The system may be purged as follows:
a. With the tractor shut off and the Powered Rake
resting on the ground, loosen the hydraulic hose
fitting at the cylinder slightly to allow fluid to
escape.
b. Slowly activate tractor control valve to purge any
trapped air from the system.
c. Tighten each fitting once the system has been
purged.
IMPORTANT: A small chain is supplied with the
driveline. This chain must be attached to the inner
driveline shield and to the Powered Rake to restrict
shield rotation.
