Adjustments
IMPORTANT: Before making any
adjustments to the windrow merger, lower
pickup to ground or lock the pickup in
transport position. (See "Engage /
Disengage Transport Lock in this section.)
Set the park brake of the tractor and shut off
the engine. Remove the key from the
ignition.
Float Pressure
The 186M Merger is preset to operate under
full spring load in normal operation.
To reduce float pressure, tension must be
adjusted on the spring. Loosen jam nut
(Key 2, Figure 11) and turn adjustment rod
(Key 3, Figure 11). Counterclockwise will
decrease spring tension and result in higher
ground pressure.
Gauge Wheel Adjustment
To adjust the gauge wheels, the unit must be
raised to transport position and the transport
lock must be engaged. See "Engage /
Disengage Transport Lock in this section.
With the tractor disengaged, in park and
engine off with the key removed, remove
adjustment bolt, (Key 1, Figure 12). Move
gauge wheel support bracket (Key 2, Figure
12) up or down to desired location
(minimum recommended ground clearance
for tines is 1" (25 mm)) and reinstall
adjustment bolt. Tighten bolt properly.
Repeat operation at opposite side of unit.
