3. After making a height adjustment, tie up any extra wire
with the bungee tie so the wire cannot become entangled
in the drive wheel.
4. Repeat this process for all three wheels.
5. Note: On hillsides the rear wheel heights should be
separately adjusted to level the machine.
6. Next, adjust the chest pad spacing by loosening the two
knobs (a) on the bottom of the frame tube spacer (b).
Set the chest pad (c) so it is centered on the row to be
harvested (Figure 4). Re-tighten the knobs after making
adjustments.
7. The foot rest (a) can be adjusted to suit the height of the
operator by loosening the two wing nuts (b) and sliding
the footrest along the slot in the foot rest support tube
(c). The foot rest can also be moved to the left or right
using the two sets of square holes (d) (Figure 5). Re-
tighten the wing nuts after making adjustments.
8. The head rest can now be set to the proper position for
the operator. This is easiest to do while laying on the
picking assistant. Adjust the head rest (a) by loosening the
two knobs (b) on the head rest clamp (c) and sliding the
headrest to the desired position (Figure 6). Re-tighten
the knobs after making adjustments.
9. The final adjustment to make is the picking tray. The
picking tray (d) position can be adjusted by loosening the
two knobs (e) on the picking tray clamp (f). The picking
tray can also be moved from side to side by loosening
the two wing nuts (g) on the bottom of the tray (Figure
6). Re-tighten the knobs and wing nuts after making
adjustments.
