7. SETTING THE WINDROWER
Properly setting the height is essential for efficient and safe operation. A properly set implement will windrow
more evenly and require minimal tractor work, and follow the contour of uneven terrain.
NOTE: Avoid very low windrowing heights, striking the ground with the teeth gives the most damaging shock
loads and will cause damage to the windrower and drive. Windrower teeth contacting the ground may cause
objects to be thrown out from under the windrower deck.
7.1 Adjusting Drum Pitch
The windrower is set at the factory for optimal
windrowing performance. If you need to make
adjustments to this settings, or reset the windrower
for any reason, follow these instructions.
NOTE: The rock windrower must be in working
position before the drum can be adjusted. To adjust
the drum the following procedure is recommended:
1. First find a level piece of ground or concrete
pad to set the machine on.
2. Ensure machine is in working position and
locking pin is installed as shown in Figure Asm-
RW-0007.
Ensure that no one is near the machine while hydraulics are being created
.
3. Lower the windrower drum until the rear wheels are lifted off the ground slightly.
4. Loosen the bolts holding the axle plates, and adjust the plates so the right axle is 1” lower than the left axle
plate. This is to help bring material to the surface.
Periodically re-check the tightness of the axle plate bolts especially before transporting the
machine on public roads.
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted
component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up
to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death.
