IMPORTANT: To avoid contact of harrow sections between the wings while unfolding. 3) When the f rst wing has been unfolded a minimum of 45° or more (up to 90°), you can start extending the Endwheel steering cylinder on the second wing. Note: Ensure there is plenty of room behind and to the sides of the Strawmaster before backing into f eld position. Important: To avoid contact or damage, open only one wing a minimum of 45°(to 90°) before starting to open the second wing. A B Connect Hydraulics Backing Into Field Position 4) When the autofold swing arms are close to closing you can activate the endwheel cylinder circuit again to open the latch clamp. 5) When the swing arms are in position, this circuit can be activated again (fully extended) to close the clamps. Note: If Latches have been left in the down position, the Swing Arms can also be engaged by allowing the Swing Arms to ride into the Latches and “click” into engagement. Caution: Lock hydraulic functions for both wing circuits before working in f eld to avoid accidental operation while in use. 6) Lower the Harrow Sections down fully into f eld position. Adjustment Settings - (refer to section “C”) 7) Adjust settings for light or aggressive harrowing. 8) Adjust Tine Angle as needed. 9) Adjust Parallel Angle as needed. HARROW LIFT CIRCUIT...

Ensure end wheel cylinders are fully retracted. IMPORTANT: Do not drive quickly when positioning wings or the wings may collide with each other. 6) Engage Transport Locks on all 8 Wing Beam connections and at both Endwheel locations. 7) Ensure lights are working and SMV sign is clean. Follow all local transport laws when transporting. D Moving Into Transport Position C Setting Tine Angle, Pressure & Frame Parallel Adjustment Tine Angle Adjustment Parallel Adjustment 2 - Loosen top Jam nut arm to allow adjustment. 4 - Re-tighten top Jam nut arm. 3 - Adjust bottom arm as needed. 1 - Lift harrow sections to relieve tension on springs. (NOTE: A suggested starting distance, from top of rod to top of lock nut is 3” for Light harrowing or 2” for Agressive harrowing. Increasing this distance will raise front of the harrow section, decreasing will lower it.) For initial setup and each time after you make adjustments to the harrow tine angles, you should check and ensure that the harrow frame sections are running parallel to the ground. (Check that the front rows and back rows are applying equal pressure) 263” (NOTE: If end of wing beam appears to be trailing back, confirm that this dimension hasn’t moved.) (NOTE: Suggested starting setting distance is 27-1/2” pin to pin) 27-1/2” Tine Angle Adjustment There are no standard angles for running the tines, the operator may adjust the tine angles as needed to achieve desired results. • Parallel Adjustment setting should be set to 2”. • Fully close harrow cylinders, then slowly open until 1-1/2” of rod is exposed. Hydraulic Lock Cylinders Aggressive Harrowing Setting • Parallel Adjustment setting should be set to 3”. • The harrow cylinders should be set to float position.
