Overview PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER The Rock Picker is a framework of steel bars called a grille that moves along the surface of the ground to gather rocks and debris. A rotating paddle moves along the top of the grille to move the rocks and material into the hopper box. When the hopper box fills, it is emptied by dumping out the back.
Preparation BREAK-IN OPERATING SAFETY Although there are no operational restrictions on the Rock Picker when it is new, there are some mechanical checks that must be done to ensure the long term integrity of the unit. When using the machine for the first time, follow this procedure: 1. Read and understand the Operator’s Manual and all safety signs before using. 2.
Preparation PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST TRACTOR PREPARATION It is important for both personal safety and maintaining the good mechanical condition of the machine that this pre-operational checklist be followed. Follow this procedure when selecting and preparing a tractor for use with the machine: 1. Use only a tractor of sufficient power and weight to adequately handle the machine.
Preparation HOOK-UP / UNHOOKING 8. Connect the hydraulics. To connect, proceed as follows: The Rock Picker should always be parked on a level, dry area that is free of debris and foreign objects. Follow this procedure when attaching: • Use a clean cloth or paper towel to clean the couplers on the ends of the hoses. Also clean the area around the couplers on the tractor. 1. Clear the area of bystanders and remove foreign objects from the machine and working area.
Preparation DRIVELINE HEIGHT (PTO Drive Models) The clearance between the PTO driveline and the top of the hitch clevis should be at least 4 inches to provide adequate clearance when going over the crest of a hill. To adjust this clearance, follow this procedure: 1. Attach the machine to tractor by following the “Hook-Up” procedure in the “Operation Preparation” section. 2. Measure the distance between the driveline and the top of the hitch clevis. 4” Min. 3.
Preparation ROCK PICKER PREPARATION 1. Hitch Pole “Field/Transport” configuration: The hitch pole has a “transport” position that is normally used when the machine is new or when it will be transported for long distances to bring the body of the machine as close behind the tractor as possible. The hitch pole must be changed to “field” position before starting to work. “Field” position will swing the body of the machine over to clear the tires of the tractor.
Operation OPERATING 4. Ground Speed: Refer to these operational hints before starting: Operating speed will vary according to: 1. Material size: The machine was designed 1-3/4” to 24” to pick and unload rock and debris ranging in size from 1-3/4 to 24 inches (45 to 600mm) in diameter. Smaller pieces will fall through the spacing in the grille and larger rocks will stall the paddle drive.
Operation 6. Reel Speed: 7. Loading/Dumping: a. Loading: The machine can be loaded until the hopper box is filled and rocks stay on the back edge of the grille. Do not overfill the box as to overflow onto the grill. It is possible that the paddles will carry the rocks over the top of the paddle and throw them out. The purpose of the reel is to sweep the rocks from the front of the grille over the grille framework and into the hopper box.
Operation 8. Safety Area: 9. Jamming/Unplugging: Always treat the machine with the utmost respect when it is operating. Since the paddles are all loaded with strong springs, they can catch and throw rocks a considerable distance as they move around the reel. Although the most common direction is in the plane of reel motion, they can also hit the frame and bounce off to the sides. WARNING: Never use hands. Never get your head or arms into the machine.
Transporting TRANSPORTING TRANSPORT SAFETY • • Check with local authorities regarding machine transport on public roads. Obey all applicable laws and regulations. • Always travel at a safe speed. Use caution when making corners or meeting traffic. • Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem and all the lights and reflectors that are required by the local highway and transport authorities are in place, are clean and can be seen clearly by all overtaking and oncoming traffic.
Storage STORAGE SAFETY STORAGE SAFETY - DECALS • Store unit in an area away from human activity. • Keep safety decals and signs clean and legible at all times. • Store Rock Picker only with grille and hopper box lowered. • Replace safety decals and signs that are missing or have become illegible. • Do not permit children to play around the stored unit. • Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign.
Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING In the following section, we have listed some of the problems, causes and solutions that you may encounter. If you encounter a problem that is difficult to solve, even after having read through this troubleshooting section, please call your local dealer or distributor. Before you call, have this manual and the serial number from your unit ready. PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Tractor hydraulic leak.
Service & Maintenance MAINTENANCE SAFETY • Review the Operator’s Manual and all safety items before working with, maintaining or operating the Rock Picker. • Lower grille and hopper box, stop the tractor engine, place all controls in neutral, set park brake, remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging. • Keep hands, feet, clothing and hair away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
Service & Maintenance HARDWARE/HOSE SPECIFICATIONS FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS Unless otherwise stated: 1. Grease: Use an SAE multi-purpose grease with extreme pressure (EP) performance. Also acceptable is an SAE multi-purpose lithium base grease. • Hardware - Hex, Plated GR5 UNC or P8.8 (metric) • Hydraulic Hoses - 3/8 & 1/2, ends come with 3/4 JIC female swivel. 2. Gearbox Reservoir Oil: Use an SAE 85W90 gear oil for all operating conditions. Reservoir capacity: 1 quart (1litre). CHECKING BOLT TORQUE 3.
Service & Maintenance 8 Hrs. Guard Bushing (both ends) SERVICE INTERVALS Annually Nipple on Pillow Block Bearing 8 Hrs. Slider Shaft/ Tube CAUTION: Machine may be shown with guard(s) opened for illustrative purposes only. Close all guards before using. LUBE AFTER EVERY 8 HRS. 8 Hrs. 8 Hrs. Nipple at Cross Joint (both ends) 8 Hrs. 25 Hrs. 8 Hrs.
Service & Maintenance HITCH CLEVIS ADJUSTMENTS REEL DRIVE CHAIN TENSION The hitch pole should always be set to be parallel to the ground when attached to the tractor. To set this angle, follow this procedure: A roller chain transmits power to the reel. Check tension daily and tighten to remove excessive slack. To adjust the tension, follow this procedure: 1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children. 2.
Service & Maintenance PADDLE SPRING TENSION PADDLE TEETH ALIGNMENT A spring on the paddles allows the paddles to flip back out of the way when blocked by a rock and yet return to their normal position for the next reel cycle. A small adjustment is available with the eye bolt on the end of the spring. To adjust the tension, follow this procedure: 1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
Service & Maintenance PADDLE AND GRILLE TEETH REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT BEARING REPLACEMENT When bearing noise becomes evident, replacement of the bearing is necessary. Whether the complete bearing unit or just the bearing insert was purchased, proceed as follows: WARNING: Securely block up grille before attempting any work on grille teeth. IMPORTANT: When performing arc welding 1. Loosen set screw with allen wrench.
Service & Maintenance HYDRAULIC CYLINDER REPAIR When cylinder repair is required, clean off unit, disconnect hoses and plug ports before removing cylinder. DISASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY 1. Loosen lock ring and turn off end cap. 1. Reinstall rod through end cap. 2. Carefully remove piston, rod and cap combination. 2. Secure piston to rod with lock nut. Torque to 225 ft-lb (305 N·m). 3.
