Tractor Hook-Up

Refer to Figure 1-1:

!DANGER

Tractor hook-up to equipment is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death. Do not allow anyone to stand between the Powered Rake and tractor during hook-up operations. Do not operate the hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor or near the Powered Rake.

Depending upon model of rake, a 3-Point Category I or Category II hitch is required. The lower 3-Point arms of the 3-Point hitch must be stabilized to prevent side-to- side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.

Prepare as follows:

1.Determine your tractor’s hitch category.

a.A Category I tractor will have a 7/8” dia. hole in the lower hitch links and a 3/4” dia. hole in the top link.

b.A Category II tractor will have a 1 1/8” dia. hole in the lower hitch links and a 1” dia hole in the top link.

2.Slowly back the tractor up to the Powered Rake and use the tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control to align the lower hitch link holes with the clevis lug holes on the Powered Rake.

3.Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off and remove key before dismounting from tractor.

4.With the tractor’s lower hitch arms aligned and positioned in the clevises, attach lower arms to the clevises with hitch pins and secure with linchpins.

5.Connect top center link to the upper pivot hitch using customer supplied clevis pin and linchpin.

6.Stow jack stands in the raised position.

7.Return to the tractor and slowly operate the tractor's 3-Point hydraulic control up and down to check for clearance between tires, frame, drawbar, etc. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with the Powered Rake.

8.Manually adjust one of the two lower lift arms up or down to level the Powered Rake from left to right.

9.Manually adjust length of the top-link to level the Powered Rake from front to rear.

10.Ensure that the lower arms are blocked to prevent excessive side movement.

11.Adjust tractor's lower lift arms to level the Powered Rake from left to right. Adjust top-link to level the Powered Rake from front to rear. A final adjustment will be made later.
