You must complete Product Registration to be eligible for Warranty. 1 Disengage Grille Transport Lock 1 1 1 WARNING Ensure no obstructions under grill or near lift bracket areas. 6. Dumping: The hopper box is unloaded by extending the unloading cylinders 1 on the box. • When backing up with a full load, switch the hitch pole back to the transport position. This will prevent damage to the frame. • Be sure the machine is on level ground when raising the hopper box to unload. • Ensure there are no obstructions below the grille/grate area or the side cylinder lift bracket area when dumping. WARNING: Stay clear of the machine and surrounding area when unloading. Keep others away. C Operation Overview 1. Material Size: Between 2-3/4” to 28” material that is loose and on top of the ground. 2. Grille Height: Lower to allow the front of the teeth to skim the ground surface. 3. Ground Speed: 4 to 6 MPH (6 to 10 km/h) is a normal operating speed. Reduce travel speed when picking heavy rock windrows. 4. Reel Speed: The reel speed is controlled by the hydraulic fl ow rate 3 . For Spot Picking, run about 5% to 40% faster than ground speed. For Windrow Picking, reduce forward speed when there are large numbers to control the number of rocks entering the machine. (Refer to operators manual for complete safety and operation info before use.) IMPORTANT: Do not use the grille to pry out deeply buried rock or debris. Grille teeth striking a buried rock will shock the machine and damage it. DANGER: Rocks can ricochet off to the side. Keep Bystanders Away! WARNING: Turn to the left to keep yourself out of the path of potential fl ying rocks. DANGER: There is a danger that the paddle will catch the rocks and throw them forward if the real speed is too fast. WARNING: Never use hands. Never get your head or arms into the machine. Stay clear of the paddle when removing any lodged material. The paddles could kick back from hydraulic pressure or spring tension. Always use a long bar to remove object. IMPORTANT: When stopping reel always place the tractor hydraulic lever into fl oat position or for tractors not equipped with fl oat position be sure to idle tractor speed down before placing the hydraulics into neutral. Never reverse reel direction without fi rst completely stopping reel. Failure to do this will result in costly hydraulic motor damage. Jamming/Unplugging: After reel has completely stopped, move the hydraulic control lever the other direction to reverse the hydraulic motor. Reversing the reel will in most cases dislodge the jammed rock. If it does not unplug the machine, lower grille to ground, stop tractor engine, place all controls in neutral, relieve the pressure in hydraulic system, set park brake, remove ignition key, then use a long pry bar (not hands) to dislodge the material. 5. Loading: Can be loaded until the hopper box is fi lled and rocks stay on the back edge of the grille. Do not overfi ll the box as to overfl ow onto the grille. When hopper box is full, stop the reel to prevent throwing rocks.
