When using the power PTO shaft there must be nobody in the danger zone of the rotating telescopic
❑
joint shaft or PTO shaft.
4.7. Hydraulic assembly
Caution! Hydraulic assembly is under pressure! Hydraulic oil under pressure may penetrate skin and
❑
cause serious injury. Skin and eyes should be protected in particular. In case of injuries caused by
a liquid under pressure, call a doctor immediately.
Hydraulic hoses can be connected to the tractor's hydraulics provided that both the tractor's and
❑
the rake's hydraulic assemblies are not under pressure. To remove the pressure from the hoses,
start the tractor's hydraulic valves several times with the tractor off.
When unmounting the machine from the tractor, set the equipment used aside, deflate the pressure
❑
from hydraulics and turn the tractor's engine off.
When inspecting the hydraulic assembly for malfunctions and oil leaks, do not touch any potential
❑
leaks as the assembly is under pressure.
Note! Use only hydraulic oil featuring oil purity class 9 - 10 in accordance with NAS 1638.
❑
When using hydraulic hoses:
Avoid stretching the hoses when operating.
❑
Do not allow hydraulic hoses to get deflected.
❑
Do not expose hydraulic hoses to contact with any sharp edges.
❑
If damaged or worn, replace the hoses with new ones.
❑
Useful life for hydraulic hoses is 5 years from their production date.
❑
4.8. Tires
The air pressure in the wheels must be regularly checked and maintained at the appropriate level
❑
recommended by the manufacturer.
Repair work on the machine's tyres and wheels may only be carried out by qualified personnel with
❑
the appropriate tools for this type of work.
When carrying out maintenance and repair work on tyres and wheels, ensure that the machine is
❑
properly parked and secured against rolling away (use wedges).
Disassembly and assembly of the wheels requires appropriate skills and equipment.
❑
4.9. Residual risk
Despite the fact, that SaMASZ company – the manufacturer of the rake takes the responsibility
for the rakes design and manufacturing, in order to eliminate hazard, certain risk when operating the
machine is unavoidable. When keeping such recommendations as:
thorough familiarizing with operator's manual,
❑
no persons remaining on the machine when operating and during drives,
❑
no persons remaining within the rake operation range,
❑
adjustment, maintenance and lubrication of the machine with engine off,
❑
performing repairs of the machine only by skilled persons,
❑
operation of the machine by persons, which are familiarized with operator's manual,
❑
in the event of the machine protection against children and unauthorized personnel residual risk
❑
when operating the rake may be limited to necessary minimum.
