Preparing Rake For Operation - SaMASZ TANGO 730 Operator's Manual

5.6. Preparing rake for operation

NOTE:
For the machine storing period, cylinder rods are lubricated as SaMASZ with protective
grease in order to protect them against weather conditions able to shorten their service life.
Prior to start operating the machine remove excess grease coming out from cylinder rods.
Due to large dimensions of rake TANGO, extreme most arms are originally dismounted on
each rotor for transport purposes (TIR). In order to dismount these quicker they are mounted in
factory with bolts. For operation purposes put expansion pins which are provided with the machine
instead of factory bolts as given below:
unscrew bolts from rake's arms on each gear (Fig. 13),

support rake's arm to avoid damaging the gear's connecting rod (Fig. 14),


hammer expansion pins into holes where bolts were previously placed. put pin Ø10 and Ø6 into

each one hole (Fig. 14).
