Field Preparation 13
Insert tractor quick couplers to give shredder a
DOWNWARD movement when tractor hydraulic le-
ver is shoved FORWARD and vice versa.
CAUTION: DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
CAN RESULT. DO NOT USE YOUR HAND
TO CHECK FOR HYDRAULIC LEAKS.
HIGH PRESSURE FLUID CAN PENETRATE THE
SKIN.
WARNING: DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
CAN RESULT. DISENGAGE PTO, STOP
TRACTOR ENGINE, SET BRAKES, RE-
MOVE KEY AND ALLOW EQUIPMENT TO COME
TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE:
CLEANING, UNCLOGGING, LUBRICATING, IN-
SPECTING, OR OTHERWISE SERVICING, ANY
PART OF THIS EQUIPMENT.
DO NOT INSPECT AND/OR SERVICE A HY-
DRAULIC RAISED UNIT UNLESS IT HAS BEEN
SECURELY BLOCKED AGAINST UNEXPECTED
DROPPING.
1. To adjust transverse wheel spacing, move lock-
up bolt Item 1 as shown in Photo 3234 from op-
erating holes Item 2 to rearmost holes Item 3 in
rockshaft arm.
IMPORTANT: AFTER COMPLETING WHEEL AD-
JUSTMENT, ALWAYS RETURN BOLT ITEM 1
TO OPERATING HOLES ITEM
2. ENSURE BOLT
HEAD IS TOWARD MACHINE CENTERLINE.

2. With ratchet jack or hydraulics, raise unit
sufficiently to insert approximately 12” high
SECURE blocks under each side of the unit
at its rear. Lower machine onto these blocks
and retract lift sufficient for tires to clear the
ground. Do this with unit hitched to a tractor
of adequate size to stabilize it.
CAUTION: DEATH OR SERIOUS IN-
JURY CAN RESULT. MAKE ADJUST-
MENTS ONLY ON A LEVEL SURFACE.
SET TRACTOR’S BRAKES AND SHUT OFF
THE ENGINE BEFORE PROCEEDING.
3. Loosen the 6 5/8” leg bolts in each wheel
and transversely slide the entire wheel as-
sembly.
FOR ROW CROPS ONLY, position wheel
legs to center each tire 34” right or left of the
machine’s centerline. This “compromise” is
satisfactory for 30” thru 38” row spacings.
FOR SOLID SEEDED CROPS, adjust R.H.
wheel leg to place tire’s outside vertical
plane about 3” inside the machine’s R.H.
end panel. This will keep the tire from run-
ning over uncut material. The L.H. tire may
be positioned maximum leftward.
Torque up each wheel leg’s 6 clamping bolts
by uniformly tightening the lower 3 to snug
fit. Subsequently, torque and retorque top
3 to
146-206 Ft/Ibs. (198-279 N/m.)
. Raise
the shredder, remove blocks and lower the
unit.
4. Raise the unit, remove blocks, RETURN
LOCKUP BOLT TO ITS NORMAL OPERAT-
ING HOLE and lower the machine.
TIRES
Hiniker recommends aftermarket 7.60 x 15-4PR l1
(implement), or equivalent, tires. INFLATE TIRES
TO LESS THAN NORMALLY USED IMPLEMENT
PRESSURES because wheel loadings are light.
The machine performs better if tire pressures are
kept no greater than 15-20 psi.
