3.4 Operating Tips
• After machine is completely assembled as per assembly instructions, machine should be hooked to tractor
drawbar. Jack should be raised and rotated to horizontal position.
• When lowering Windrower and rock wheel, hold control until cylinder has completely contracted. This
will allow wheel to float over uneven terrain.
• When in operation, it is possible for a rock to lodge between rock wheel and rock plate. If this occurs, it
can usually be corrected by putting tractor in reverse and backing machine up a few feet.
• Over filling the rock box may cause the following problems:
1. Rocks may lodge in kicker rotor. This may be corrected by reversing hydraulic control on the tractor
causing rotor to reverse and free the rock.
2. Rocks falling out near the kicker roller when unloading. The rocks may lodge between the rock wheel
frame and main frame causing binding problems.
Note: The rock box is full when the rocks are level with the bottom of the screen material in the
front of the rock box. The illustration on page 3 shows the position at which the rock box is filled to
approximately 1 cubic yard.
• Excessive ground speed does not allow Windrower rotor to gather stones in heavy rock areas. Also, rock
box will fill toward front if rock wheel rotates too fast.
• Rotors should not be allowed to run in raised position when transporting machine long distances, such as
to and from rock piles. This will prolong machine life and also hydraulic system.
• Most moving parts should be greased daily with the exception of the two Windrower rotor bearings which
run in dirt constantly. These should be greased several times per day to prolong bearing life. Outer bearing
has zerk on top of housing, Inner bearing is greased through tube extending to zerk on front of mainframe.
Chain drive case should be checked periodically.
