TIRES
Regularly check the tire pressure. Respect manufacturer's recommendations on tire pressure.
Assembly, disassembly and repair of wheels and tires must only be carried out by competent persons.
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
The hydraulic circuit is under pressure. Maximum pressure at work: 3000 PSI (200 bar).
Before connecting hoses to the tractor hydraulics, ensure that tractor and machine circuits
are not under pressure. Before disconnecting a hose, depressurize the hydraulic circuit.
To avoid making wrong connections, mark hydraulic couplers and corresponding hoses with
colors.
Functions could be reversed (for example: lift/lower) and cause accidents.
Regularly check the hydraulic hoses. In case of normal wear, replace the hydraulic hoses
every 5 years. Damaged or worn hoses must be immediately replaced. When replacing the
hydraulic hoses, make sure to use hoses with the specifications and quality recommended
by the manufacturer of the machine.
To locate a leak, use appropriate means. Protect body and hands from liquid under pressure.
Any liquid under pressure (particularly oil from hydraulics) can penetrate the skin and cause severe injury. If
injured, see a doctor immediately. There could be a danger of infection.
Before any adjustments, maintenance or repairs are carried out, lower the machine on the ground,
depressurize the hydraulics, turn off the engine, remove ignition key and wait until all moving parts have come
to a complete stop.
STORAGE
To prepare your Rake for storage:
1. Clean the rake following instructions and allow it to dry.
2. Thoroughly tighten all screws and bolts.
3. Store the rake on a clean, dry surface in the down (working) position.
4. Grease the machine thoroughly and then cover it completely and store in a dry place.
5. Lubricate all points and slides before storage. This prevents corrosion.
NOTE: Now would be a good time to replace all damaged or worn parts, and have a machine in perfect
condition ready for use the next season.
During extended periods of inactivity it is necessary to close the cylinders completely. This
must be done in is such a way as to protect the rods from weather effects.
The rods remaining outside the cylinder (whatever reason may be) must be carefully protected with a grease
layer.
