Directional indicators (such as “right”, “left”, “front”, “rear”, etc.) are to be interpreted when facing in direction of travel; parts are numbered from left to right.
This is also the basic position for defining the direction in connection with which:

• RH (rotation) = clockwise rotation
• LH (rotation) = counter clockwise rotation
• Rotation around a vertical axis is defined when looking from top to bottom
• Rotation around a horizontal axis almost perpendicular to the direction of travel is defined when looking from left to right.
• Rotation of bolts, nuts, hand cranks, etc. is defined when looking from the position of operation.

Unit of measurement are given both in Imperial (US) and international metric units; the metric value shall be decisive (conversion table inside fold-out page).

Abbreviations used are:

• CW = Clockwise
• CCW = Counter Clockwise
• IPL = Illustrated Spare Parts Lists
• PIN* = Product Identification No. (= machine serial no.) PSN* = Production Series No.
• = You can find this number on the identity plate of the machine.

ADJUSTMENT FOR SPREADING AND TEDDING

1. Tines
   Put the tines in the tedding position by moving the tine shaft. Check all tines are in the correct position.
2. Wheels
   The wheels must be in the lower or middle position, for this operation; i.e. the machine will be in its highest position.
3. Top Link
   The top link is attached in the lower hole of the hitch-frame.
   When the points of the tines exactly touch the stubble in front of the top link is correct.
   At 430 RPM of the PTO the tines have reached their lowest position
4. Swath Deflectors
   If required either one or both deflectors can be used to separate the swaths. This is particularly useful when working the outsides of a field.
5. Locking Device
   Disconnect the locking device

ADJUSTMENT FOR RAKING AND WINDROWING

1. Tines
   Place the tines in the raking position by moving the tine pivot shaft. Check all tines are in the correct position
2. Wheels
   The wheels must be set in the upper or middle position for this operation; i.e. the machine will be in its lowest position
3. Top Link
   The top link is attached in the upper hole of the hitch-frame. When the point of the tines exactly touch the stubble in front of the rotors and the machine turns at full speed the length of the top link is correct. At 430 RPM of the PTO, the tines have reached their lowest position
4. Swath Deflectors
   By placing the swath deflectors in the position shown an equal swath is built
5. Locking Device
   Disconnect the locking device

TRANSPORT POSITION

Lift the machin

During transport the locking device in the center behind the tractor (see fig. 6). Ihis also prevents the machine from sideways movement.

In working position, the Haybob is a trailed machine, allowing you to make left hand turns without trouble. or making right hand turns it is necessary to lort the machine on the tractor linkage.

RAKING TWO SWATHS TOGETHER

When you place the swath deflectors as shown in fig. 9, the swaths are laid down close together in the first operation. These swaths are easily put together afterwards.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

• Every 5 hours of work, the nipples and the inner tube of the PTO shaft must be greased.
• Every 10 hours of work, the nipples (2) on the gearboxes must be greased.
• Every 10 hours of work, the nipples (2) in the wheels must be greased.
• At the end of the season, the machine must be cleaned and made ready for the following season.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING SPARE PARTS

Your order for spare parts should contain the following information:

• Machine-type and frame number.
