ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)
-14-
DOWN PRESSURE
Down pressure of the rake arms can be adjusted
by adjusting the stop (C) on the top of the spring
located at each end of the main frame. The stop
should be adjusted so there is approximately 1/4
of an inch of threads showing above the jam nut
(D). The carted rake can be adjusted for less
ground pressure by “raising” the stop.
TREAD WIDTH ADJUSTMENT (WR3012 ONLY)
Tread width (wheel spacing) can be adjusted by first jacking up one side of the main frame. Loosen nuts
(4) on the mounting bolts (HP16SV77) (E). The entire wheel assembly now can be positioned as desired.
Retighten nuts evenly. Repeat procedure on the opposite frame.
FLOATATION
The carted rake has been designed to be operated with the hydraulic cylinder in the float position. This
allows the rake beams to “float” up and down without the hydraulic cylinder restricting it’s motion. If your
tractor does not have a float position, you will need the second hose option. If rake is equipped with
second hose option, it is very important transport lock pins are removed prior to attempting to
lower rake arms. Failure to remove pins will result in damage to rake.

NOTE: If 2 hose system is desired, remove vent plug and install hose (3/8” x 145”) (Part No. 5HP10WR10)
between cylinder and tractor.
