HAY TEDDER ADJUSTMENTS
Connect the hoses “A” to the tractor hydraulic couplings. Now send the hydraulic oil to the leveling cylinder and
adjust the machine according to your needs.
The attaching of the drawbar 1 to the tractor hitch already brings the machine into an initial position, and
normally this makes it possible to make the adjustments required for the working and transport stages.
Sometimes tractors that have a hitch that is too high or too low may cause the machine adjustment to be
unsatisfactory. If this is the case, take appropriate countermeasures. If the drawbar 1 is hooked to the bar of
the tractor lift, the height can be adjusted at any time and therefore adjustments to the machine are easier.
Normally you have good working conditions when the tines 2 at the front of the machine brush against the
ground, If after the machine has been put in the working position the tines 2 are too far from the ground or dig
too deep into the ground, away from the joint pin 6 so as to allow the movement of the adjustment screw
connected to the lever 3. Now move lever 3 to bring tine 2 so that it brushes against the ground. At this point
bring nut 5 back into contact with joint pin 6 and bushing 4 into contact with nut 5. Before tightening them to
each other, make the adjustments in the next step.
