To assemble the hydraulic lift kit proceed as follows:
1. With the tedder rotors in the lowered position, assemble the barrel of the hydraulic
cylinders to the welded pin on the support bar (see fig. 15). Attach the left hydraulic
cylinder to the left of the unit and the right hydraulic cylinder to the right of the unit.
2. Assemble the cylinder rod to the pin on the outer drive tubes of the tedder.
3. Secure both ends of the cylinders to the pins using the supplied roll pins Ø6x30.
4. Assemble the long 2400 mm. hydraulic hose to the bottom of the “T” fitting.
5. Screw the quick coupler to the end of the hose going towards the tractor making
sure to place the copper washer ؽ” between the fittings. Run the hose through the
loop on the turnbuckle.
6. Assemble the two short 90 mm. hydraulic hoses to the top ends of the “T” fitting.
7. Screw the nipples to the hydraulic cylinder making sure to place the copper washer
ؼ” between the nipple and cylinder.
8. Attach the hoses to the nipples on the cylinders.
9. Attach a 3000 mm. cord (not supplied in kit) to both hooks on the support bar and
run it through the loop on the turnbuckle. This will let the operator release the hooks
before letting the rotors down.
10.Raise the rotors, secure them with the hooks and remove the two side springs
(removing the springs will allow the rotors to be lowered when the hydraulic pressure
is released).
11.Raise and lower the rotors several times to check for correct assembly and leaks
between the fittings.
WARNING: High pressure hydraulic oil leaks can penetrate skin resulting in
injury, gangrene or death. Be sure to relieve any hydraulic oil pressure before
disconnecting any lines or pipes between spreader and tractor hydraulic system.
Check for oil leaks using a cardboard, never use hands.
