Timing the Rotors
The rotor gears are set at the factory and should not need to be serviced or retimed. If something
does happen that causes the gears to come out of time you can follow the steps below to retime:
• Loosen the 4 metric bolts on the top of the gearbox (Figure 20) Only loosen the bolts until you can
turn the rotor and feel that the gears are no longer meshing. DO NOT REMOVE THE BOLTS!
• Turn the rotor until its tine arms are centered between the tine arms on the next rotor and re-
tighten the bolts.
Proper timing is the most critical where the hay is being pushed back between two rotors.
Example: Correct timing is more critical between rotors 1 and 2, less critical between 2 and 3.
