Using the End Plates
The end plates contain the material in front of the
roller, while the clean material passes between the
roller and the barrier. With the end plates mounted in
the working position and the rake straight (parallel with
the traction unit track), the material can be moved,
filling in the low spots.
You can mount the end plates to either the front or
the back of the power rake, depending on the raking
direction. When you move the end plates from front to
back, you must move the left one to the right side and
the right one to the left side.
To move the end plate, perform the following:
1.
Remove the 2 hairpin cotters from the end-plate
pin (
).

Angling the Roller
You can angle the roller 20° in either direction.
For windrowing, remove the angle-locking pin (
), slide the angle mount to a new set of holes, and
insert the pin.
Important:
Do not drop the power rake onto the
ground with the roller turning. Sudden high-speed
jolts multiply the stress to the drive line, and can
cause damage.
