Engage / Disengage Extension Motor
The extension motor is engaged and
disengaged manually.
IMPORTANT
When the extension is not in use, be sure the
extension motor is disengaged. Failure to do
so may result in belt damage. Always
release all hydraulic pressure, lower unit to
ground or transport stop, engage park brake,
turn off tractor, and remove key before
making any adjustments.
To engage the extension motor, first release
the lock ring of the manual valve for the
extension. Then turn the manual valve on
the manifold clockwise completely to
engage the extension. Turn the lock ring
tight to lock. See Key 1, Figure 15.
IMPORTANT
Do not use tools to turn the hand valve as
component damage may result.
To disengage the extension motor, push the
manual valve on the manifold in slightly,
turn counterclockwise, and pull the valve
out.
Windguard Adjustment
The windguard is adjustable for stop
positions in a raised and lowered position.
The default position is such that the
windguard tines are positioned directly
above the pickup tines such that no pickup
tines extend above the windguard.
The end tine of the windguard is bent higher
than the others to allow for more flow at the
corner of the extension mount to help
prevent any accumulation in this area.
To adjust the windguard, loosen the stop
bolts (Key 2, Figure 16) and move to the
desired location. Retighten properly.
