BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OPERATION
· Operating speed will depend on tractor horsepower, environmental conditions and each particular operation. A speed of 8 to 12 MPH. (12 to 16 KPH) is suggested to efficiently shatter and spread straw and residue.
· Operating height for the harrow will vary with the length of the tines, and the angle that the tines are set at.
· The harrow sections can be set in float position, where the section drags the ground under its own weight.
· Pressure can be applied using the hydraulics to rotate the beam further back. The spring bars will deflect to apply pressure to the harrow section and the ground. The amount of pressure to apply will depend on the application, and the operator’s preference.
· Some suggested settings can be found in the “Suggested Tine Angle Settings” section. As there are only a few standard guidelines, feel free to experiment with ground clearance, tine angle and section pressure to obtain desired results for each operation.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The Strawmaster Pro harrow sections consist of four rows with ten tines per row which hold the straw. As the tines drag along the ground, they oscillate to build up a high frequency vibration and provide a shattering action which breaks up the straw allowing the residue to be spread evenly as it is released. When stood vertically the tines will rake flax residue.

Operation – Adjustments

TINE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

Tine angle adjustment should be made with the

machine in field position. For suggested initial

settings with new tines, refer to the “Suggested Tine

Angle Settings” section. (NOTE: A suggested starting setting

distance is 27-1/2″ pin to pin)

While there are no

“standard” angles for running the tines, the

27-1/2″

operator may adjust the

tine angles as needed to

achieve desired results.

NOTE: A suggested starting setting distance is 27-1/2″ pin to pin.
To adjust tine angle: Use the ratchet jacks located on each harrow section. Start at one end, set as desired. Set all the other sections to the same setting.

BREAKING & SPREADING STRAW
1 23 4
· For best results operate at 10 to 12 mph.
· The straw built up in the harrow sections helps to achieve maximum rub action to break down straw.
TOUGH STRAW
· Advance the tine angle to a more aggressive setting. This will hold straw for a longer period of time, allowing for a more even distribution of residue.
REMEMBER: Breaking down straw is much more effective in dry conditions.
· A second pass may be required in extremely heavy straw conditions. NOTE: Work the second pass at a 45 degree angle to how it was worked the first time).

REMEMBER:
· Actual settings will vary with tine wear.
· Straw should be dry.
· Breaking down straw is much more effective in dry conditions.
· A second pass may be required in extremely heavy straw conditions. (NOTE: Work the second pass at a 45 degree angle to how it was worked the first time).

RAKING

1 23 4

· Work the field at 45 degrees to the seeding line.

· In order to rake flax straw some down pressure is required.

· Before built-up straw starts to spill out the back of the machine, dump straw load by lifting harrow sections.

FIELD PACKING

1 23 4

· Begin operating Strawmaster® with the hydraulics in float position, if more compaction is required, refer to the aggressive setting under harrow pressure adjustments.

· To avoid deep ridges in your field, reduce down pressure and operate at lower speeds; 5 – 6 mph.

· If packing is done after seeding, make sure to check that seed is not being disturbed.

· To prevent tine damage, avoid tight turning.

CHEMICAL INCORPORATION

1 23 4

If fitted with an approved chemical distribution system:

· Increasing downward pressure will help break the soil crust and place the granule in contact with moist soil.

· Avoid straw build up in the first two rows of tines. This makes for a more even granule or seed broadcast.

IMPORTANT: Always follow label directions for chemical herbicides.

Operation – Adjustments
PARALLEL ADJUSTMENT
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)
1. Lift harrow sections to relieve tension on springs.

Relieves Tension on
Springs

Lift Harrow Sections

Depending on tine angle settings and tine wear, the parallel adjustment distances may need to be adjusted to ensure harrow sections are running parallel. Remember:
· Increasing the parallel adjustment distance (Top of Threaded Rod to top of Jam-arm Nut) will raise front of the harrow section.
· Decreasing this distance will lower the front of the harrow section.
Distance is too large. Decrease to lower front of harrow frame section.
Front tines not applying pressure

2. Loosen the top Jam-nut Arms to allow adjustment.
Top Jam Nut Adjustment Arm
To Loosen

3. Adjust bottom arms as needed.
NOTE: As suggested starting distance, from top of rod to top of lock nut is:
· 5″ for Light harrowing
· 4″ for Aggressive harrowing
(Increasing this distance will raise front of the harrow section, decreasing the distance will lower it.)
This same distance setting should be used at all locations.

4. Re-tighten top Jam-nut Arms.

· Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for a high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use a piece of wood or cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and identify a leak.
· If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately. Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the skin surface.
· Before applying pressure to the system, make sure all components are tight and that lines, hoses and couplings are not damaged.
HYDRAULIC HOSE SPECIFICATIONS
Note: Unless otherwise stated, Hydraulic Hoses are either 3/8 or 1/2 with 3/4 JIC female swivel ends.
HYDRAULIC HOSE INSTALLATION TIPS
The following tips are to help you identify some possible problem areas in the installation of hydraulic hoses. 1. Installation should be completed in a clean
environment clear of dust and contaminants. Hoses and fittings should be capped if not installed.
2. Ensure hoses are not twisted during installation as this may weaken the hose. Also, the pressure in a twisted hose may loosen fittings or connections.
3. Allow sufficient bend radius in hoses when installing to prevent lines from collapsing and flow becoming restricted.
4. When installing hoses in an area of movement or flexing, allow enough free length for motion and to ensure fitting connections are not stressed.
5. Ensure hoses are properly clamped and secured in position after routing is complete to provide a cleaner installation and prevent possible damage or hazards.

2. Align, thread into place and hand tighten.

3. Tighten to proper torque from the table shown above.

Note: A DASH size refers to a diameter of a hose (inside) or of a tube (outside) measured in 1/16″ increments.
For example, a Hose specified as dash 8 or -8 would have an inside diameter of 8/16″ or 1/2″.
Alternatively, a Tube specified as dash 8 or -8 would have an outside diameter of 8/16″ or 1/2″.

ORB (O-Ring Boss)

Male ORB fittings have straight UNF threads, a sealing face and an O-ring. The female fittings are generally found in the ports of machines and feature straight threads, a machined surface, and a chamfer to accept the O-ring. Sealing is achieved through the compression of the male O-ring against the chamfered sealing face of the female fitting.

Warranty
2 Year
Limited Warranty – Agricultural Products
Degelman Industries LP (“Degelman”) warrants to the original purchaser of any new Degelman equipment, purchased from an authorized Degelman dealer, that the equipment will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the date of delivery, for non-commercial use (including farm, institutional, government, and municipality) and (1) year from the date of delivery for commercial use. The obligation of Degelman to the purchaser under this warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts in the first year and to the provision, but not the installation of replacement parts in the second year. Degelman reserves the right to inspect any equipment or parts which are claimed to have been defective in material or workmanship.
This warranty limits its replacement or repair coverage to what is consistent with the warranty of Degelman’s suppliers of purchased components.
Replacement or repair parts installed in the equipment covered by this limited warranty are warranted for ninety (90) days from the date of delivery of such part or the expiration of the applicable new equipment warranty period, which ever occurs later. Warranted parts shall be provided at no cost to the user at an authorized Degelman dealer during regular working hours. Warranted replacement parts will either be replaced or rebuilt at Degelman’s discretion.
Disclaimer of implied warranties & consequential damages
This warranty shall not be interpreted to render Degelman Industries LP liable for injury, death, property damage or damages of any kind, whether direct, consequential, or contingent to property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Degelman shall not be liable for damages resulting from any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, loss of crops, any expense or loss of labour, supplies, rental machinery or loss of use.
No other warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied is made with respect to this sale; and all implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose which exceed the obligations set forth in this written warranty are hereby disclaimed and excluded from this sale. This exclusion shall not apply in any jurisdiction where it is not permitted by law.
This limited warranty shall not apply:
1. If, in the sole opinion of Degelman, the unit has been subjected to misapplication, abuse, misuse, negligence accident or incorrect off-site machine set-up.
2. To any goods that have sustained damage or deterioration attributable to a lack of routine maintenance (eg. Check and Re-torque of fastening hardware, Hydraulic fluid purities, drive train alignments, and clutch operation)
3. If parts not made or supplied by Degelman have been used in the connection with the unit, if, in the sole judgement of Degelman such use affects its performance, safety, stability or reliability.
4. If the unit has been altered or repaired outside of an authorized Degelman dealership in a manner which, in the sole judgement of Degelman, affects its performance, safety, stability or reliability.
5. To expendable or wear items such as (eg. Harrow tines, Rock Picker and Rock Rake wear teeth and replaceable bushings and pins.) and any other items that in the company’s sole judgement are a wear item.
No employee or representative of Degelman Industries LP is authorized to change this limited warranty in any way or grant any other warranty unless such change is made in writing and signed by the Degelman Service Manager.
This limited warranty is subject to any future availability of supply, which may directly affect Degelman’s ability to obtain materials or manufacture replacement parts.
Degelman reserves the right to make improvements in design or changes in specifications at any time, without incurring obligations to owners of equipment previously delivered.
This limited warranty is subject to compliance by the customer to the enclosed Retail Customer’s Responsibility Under Degelman Warranty.
