FIELD SET UP
To lower the tedder into tedding position engage the hydraulics for the tilt cylinder rst to raise the
wings off of the chassis then engage the main hydraulics to unfold the wings. Be sure that nobody
is around the tedder or the tractor as the wings are lowering. The tines and arms can cause serious
injury to anybody that it comes into contact with. Make sure that the hitch is attached to the trac-
tor and the pin is installed when the wings are lowering. If the hitch is not properly attached to the
tractor the weight of the rotors when it is unfolding could cause the hitch to whip up causing serious
personal injury or damage to equipment.
1-2”
NEVER RUN THE PTO WHILE THE TEDDER IS IN THE TRANS-
PORT POSITION! THIS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE JOINTS
AND ALSO POSES A PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD.
DO NOT ADJUST THE TEDDER UNLESS THE TRACTOR IS OFF AND THE PTO SHAFT
IS DISCONNECTED. ALWAYS ADJUST THE MACHINE BY YOURSELF. A SECOND
PERSON INCREASES THE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT.
The tine height adjustments can be made by turning the handle shown in Figure 6.
Turn the handle clockwise to raise the tine height.
Turn the handle counter clockwise to lower the tine height.
Generally, the tines should be around 1-2 inches from the ground for most crops. However, the
stubble length or crop moisture content can change where the optimum setting will be.
IT IS UP TO THE OPERATOR TO DETERMINE WHAT THE BEST POSITION SHOULD BE.
