11.1 Transporting
ATTENTION: When the hay rake arms are lifted, the shape of the hinges carries the weight toward the tractor
and makes it possible to decrease the machine dimensions.
Check carefully during the lifting stage to make sure that parts of the machine do not touch parts of the tractor.
Check to make sure that with certain tractors during transport operations, while steering or when moving over
uneven ground the hay rake arms do not touch parts of the tractor, with the risk of causing damage to both
machines.
If it is possible that there may be contact between parts of the hay rake and parts of the tractor, it is
recommended that the angle of the arms be increased before lifting them. This operation brings them farther
away from the tractor and creates a situation of greater safety.
Crushing hazard: Keep a safe distance from machine when raising or lowering arms, or
when implement is in transport position.
Lock arms in raised position before transport and before working under this machine.
Before placing the machine into transport position:
Make sure the rotating parts have come to a complete stop. Check and move away any person located in the
rake arm pivoting area.
11.2 Set the machine into transport position.
From the working position:
- Make sure that the rake wheels are completely
still.
- Activate the tractor hydraulics and raise the rake
arms until they reach the stops.
- Fully retract the telescopic arm (A) Ops-2384 by
activating the tractor valve after selecting the
"EXTENSION" position on the remote control.
- Adjust the angle of the arms (C) Ops-2384 so they
are parallel to the ground by activating the tractor
valve after selecting the "ANGULATION" position
on the remote control.
- Close the cylinder valves in Ops-2388 by turning
levers (A) for the right and left cylinders, lever (B)
for the right and left cylinders, and lever (C)
optional.
- Make sure that all safety signs and reflectors are
installed, clean and visible.
Do not operate tractor hydraulics while in transport
position.
Please check that there aren't any oil leaks. This
could compromise the machine's stability.
While transporting the machine, the safety locks must always be locked, and while
working, the safety locks must always be unlocked.
