Page 5: For Your Own Safety
For Your Own Safety In this enclosure to the operating instructions you will find some general rules of conduct explaining how to operate the implement correctly - and some safety advice which we advise you to observe for your own safety! The list is very extensive, and some of the advice does not specifically relate to the implement supplied. - Page 6 2. General Safety Advice and Accident Prevention Regulations • Before starting up your implement and tractor, please check that it is roadworthy and operatively safe. • Please observe all generally valid safety and accident prevention regulations. • The warnings and signs found on the implement are there to provide essential data needed to operate the unit safely.
- Page 7 • Road, steering and braking performance will be influenced by mounted or attached implements and ballast. Therefore make sure that you have sufficient steering and brake capability. • Account for the width of the implement and its working load when taking corners. •...
- Page 8 • When using the external controls to operate the three-point linkage, keep clear of the area between the tractor and the implement. • When the implement is in transportation position, always ensure that the tractor’ s three-point linkage is sufficiently locked at the side. •...
- Page 9 • Before engaging the PTO make sure that the area of danger around the implement is free of bystanders. • Never engage the PTO when the engine is switched off. • When working with the PTO, keep the area around the rotating PTO and drive shaft clear of any bystanders.
- Page 10 • Liquids that leak at high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury! In the event of injury, consult a doctor immediately. Risk of infection! • Before working on hydraulic units, lower the implement, depressurize the system, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
- Page 11 • When performing electrical welding work on a tractor with a mounted implement disconnect any cables connected to the generator and the battery. • Gas tanks must only be filled using nitrogen to avoid risk of explosion.! • Spare parts must at a minimum comply with the technical requirements given by the manufacturer of the implement.
- Page 13 Operating instructions Reversible Ploughs Raven, Raven Avant / Hydro-Avant Ensure before operating the plough for the first time that you have thoroughly read and taken note of this operating manual and the safety precautions (”For your own safety”). All persons operating this unit must be properly trained and qualified with regard to use, maintenance and safety requirements, and correctly informed of the hazards involved.

- Page 15 Please refer to the appendix entitled ”Pictogram symbols” for an explanation of the warning notices. See Fig.1 (e.g. 3 = numbered series in the explanation) for details of their locations. Replace any missing warning notices. These items can be ordered from RABE as spare parts.
- Page 16 Set-up Ensure that couplings on the three-point linkages are compatible (Cat.: Tractor/Plough). Check tractor tyre pressures and measure the inner clearance between the tyres. This distance should be approximately the same for the front and rear wheels, and the inner walls of the tyres should align (2/1). Set the lower link arms to the same height.
- Page 17 Fi- nal adjustment is then carried out on-site during work. In the RABE adjusting centre, both settings are clearly configured and separately adjusted. Draft: using the turnbuckle (8/1) or adj. sleeve on angling cylinder (7/1) to align the landsides in a paral- lel line to the central turnover shaft (axis of rotation).
- Page 18 Use during operation The lower link arms of the tractor must be able to move sideways during operation. Check chains or stabilisers should be slack. However, they should be laterally rigid when the unit is raised, insofar as this is permitted by the design of the tractor. Working depth: Select ”Draft”...

- Page 20 For your owm safety: Use gloves and only suitable tools and spanners (25/3) as provided ! ( RABE part no. 4798.00.99). t is important to observe the torque tensions stated in this manual ( see pages 8, 10 & 12) Skimmers and disc coulters are adjusted at the same time.
- Page 21 Skim coulters There are three ways to adjust the skimmers. Lateral to the plough body by turning the cranked stalk. The clearance in front of the bodies by turning the guide plate around (21/4) and by turning the cranked stalk. The working depth by shifting the skimmer on the stalk up or down.
- Page 22 Shear bolt overload protection All plough models are fitted with shear bolts (25/1). Also the AVANT auto- reset models. The bolt head should always be on the plough leg side. After fitting a new shear bolt, ensure that the other leg pivot bolt is tightened.
- Page 23 Caution: the ”Avant” mechanical auto reset device works under strong spring tension. The built-in compression spring is highly pre – tensioned by the factory. It is very dangerous to dismantle the compression spring without special tools provided by the manufacturer. The spring must only be dismantled by properly qualified technicians using the special tools.
- Page 24 Maintenance Before starting work on the plough attached to the tractor, shut off the engine and remove the ignition key. DO NOT work on a raised plough. ALWAYS lower the plough and release hydraulic pressure before carrying out work on the hydraulic system.

- Page 28 Danger of squeezing. Keep away! Rotating tools. Keep away! Do not grasp behind safety devices or covers. Never carry out work unless PTO-drive is disengaged and the engine is stopped. Danger of Life by load from top! Lift Turbodrill only with empty hopper and never together with rotary harrow.
- Page 29 Danger of leg injuries when elements may suddenly swing out. Keep away! Grease all marked grease nipples regulary. The reset force can be increased by adjusting the bolt (kN) to the left (!). Reduce by turning to the right. There must be always a minimum clearance a of 1 mm.
