OPERATOR'S MANUAL ROTARY RAKE
To safely support the machine, use ropes of adequate length so that the angle between them is no
❑
greater than 120°, and the angle between the strand and the vertical is no greater than 60°,
Lift the rake with the utmost caution and move it slowly,
❑
No one should be within the range of action of the lifting equipment when any transporting
❑
operations are being carried out
Collapsible parts should be blocked in transport position,
❑
When the rake is on the vehicle's trailer, the machine should be secured against moving.

4.5. Operating parts

Prior to operating the rakes check the rotor and the tine condition.
❑
Worn or damaged tines should be replaced immediately with new ones.
❑

4.6. PTO shaft

Prior to operating learn instructions given by the shaft's manufacturer found on the shaft.
❑
Use only the rake's manufacturer recommended PTO shafts.
❑
In order to operate safely use only fit, undamaged telescopic articulated shafts. Damaged
❑
telescopic articulated shaft shall be repaired or replaced with new one.
Pay particular attention to PTO shaft's guards and rake's and tractor's spline shaft guards. Never
❑
work with damaged guards.
Before operation, check all guards (in tractor, machine and the shaft), if they are in place and are
❑
functional. Any worn or damaged guard must be replaced. Damaged or missing guard of drive shaft
may cause serious accident and even death.
Possible inclination of the shaft depends on shape and size of the guard. Before operation check if
❑
guards in any position are not damaged or locked.
Always pay attention to the recommended overlap of the PTO shafts in working and transport
❑
positions.
Before you start work, you must make sure that the PTO shaft is spinning in the right direction and
❑
that the tractor PTO RPM matches the permissible RPM levels of the machine.
