Replacing the Flotation Springs
The otation springs are located inside the mounting stem of the transport wheels. (The large wheels
on the chassis). These wheels are also designed to carry the weight of the chassis when the tedder is
in the working mode. The springs may need to be replaced periodically if they become weakened and
no longer provide the desired amount of assistance. If so, follow the directions below to replace.
• Lift the tedder with a hoist or a lift to take all the weight off of the transport wheels.
• Use two clamps to hold the cap onto the spring tube.
• Remove the bolts from the cap and slowly release the clamps until the spring is fully extended
and there is no more force on the clamp.
Replace the spring and put the cap back on.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AS A
RESULT OF THE CAP BEING LAUNCHED BY THE SPRING WHEN THE BOLTS ARE BEING RE-
MOVED.
IMPORTANT: Raise tedder with lift or hoist and
apply clamping force to the cap while removing
the bolts.
