Operating Your Hay Tedder

IMPORTANT!Before operating the operator must be familiar with the operator’s manual and instructed on the operation of the tractor and the machine.

Do not allow any unqualified persons or someone under the influence of an intoxicating substance or medicine to operate this equipment.

Raising and lowering the wings on the tedder should only be done while the tedder hitch is attached to a tractor. CAUTION!! Make sure all personnel and pets are clear of the area before raising and lowering the tedder wings or engaging the power source.

NEVER ENGAGE THE POWER SOURCE WHILE THE TEDDER WINGS ARE IN RAISED POSITION.

After doing any work on the hydraulics always operate the hydraulics through several cycles to dispel any air in the system (air in the lines may cause the wing to drop abruptly).

Adjust the tilt of the machine until the teeth are slightly touching the ground.

Adjust the rotating speed until you receive the desired spread pattern. Slower will slightly windrow it and faster will spread the crop more evenly. This will vary with crop texture and weight.

DO NOT OVER SPEED. USE ONLY ENOUGH SPEED TO GET THE DESIRED RESULTS.

Dealer that such equipment is free of defects in material and workmanship (except tires, tubes and engines which are warranted by the respective manufacturer) according to the following provisions.

All Warranty periods begin with the date of the first retail sale or first use, whether it be through rental lease or special demonstration program, whichever comes first. This is for the benefit of the original or subsequent purchaser during the warranty period.

The warranty only applies if the equipment has been used and serviced in accor-dance with the recommendations in the operators manual. The basic equipment warranty shall be 12 months. The obligation of the company under this warranty is limited to repairing or at its option replacing any part(s) which in the company’s judgement is defective.

The company shall have no obligation or liability of any kind on account of any of its equipment and shall not be liable for special or consequential damages. The company makes no other warranty express or implied and specifically. The company dis claims, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness.

The customer shall be responsible for payment of travel time to the machine or to deliver the machine to the dealer’s service shop for repair. E.H.E. Warranty does not cover travel time. E.H.E. shall not be responsible for normal replacement parts such as belts, chains and teeth.

Full Lifetime Warranty

Warranty does not cover alteration of any type. Alterations include, but are not limited to cutting, bending, punching, drilling, welding, and heating.

This warranty covers all previously made models or machines.

Lubrication and Maintenance

Lubricate grease fittings every 10 hours according to diagram.

Every 10 hours check all bolts nuts and tines; tighten as needed.

tilted back too far will cause it to overbalance and fall backwards.

AssemblyIMPORTANT: Tedder Rotors must be in phase!

Correct Rotor PhaseCheck to make sure all rotors are in phase. When disassem-bling gearbox housing, it is important to mark with a magic marker each external and internal gearbox housing at any point on the lower portion of the casing. At the same time, mark the arm holder flange in the same spot so the unit can be kept in phase. (See Illustration above)

Preload AdjustmentTo set the preload on the spinner bearings, loosen the set screw on the tapered collar and turn the collar until all end play is taken out of the rotor disc.
