Mounting Telescopic Articulated Shaft; Preparing Rake For Transport On Public Roads - SaMASZ TANGO 730 Operator's Manual

CAUTION!
Once the machine is set to transport position, check whether mechanical locking
pawls (P) are properly locked on pins (Fig. 10).

5.2.1. Preparing rake for transport on public roads

To meet safety precautions concerning transport on the public roads the rake should be equipped
with warning triangle, attached at the rake's rear (the plates are standard-delivered with the machine.)
To improve safety during the transport the machine should be fitted with a warning triangle – to be
purchased at the manufacturer.
When transporting on public roads respect provisions valid in the country of use.
CAUTION!
If the rake's owner does not own the above warning lights and plates, these can
be ordered at the manufacturer.

5.3. Mounting telescopic articulated shaft

The machine is delivered with a separate instruction manual for PTO shafts.
Prior to commencing operation, examine and adjust length of PTO shaft, which is designed to
mount machine on tractor. In some cases it is possible, that the shaft is too long and therefore needs
to be shortened, so that there is adequate tolerance for the shortest possible distance between tractor's
shaft and machine's shaft.
Mount the shaft with wide-angle joint from the rake side. The guard should be protected against
rotating by securing the shaft set chains to immovable parts of the tractor and the rake.
CAUTION!
The telescopic articulated shaft should remain mounted only during the rake's
operation period. For transport and service time the shaft should be
disconnected from the tractor's PTO shaft.
CAUTION!
Use machines with correspondingly designed telescopic articulated drive
shafts. For any service and repair works of the shaft and the machine, the tractor
engine and its drive must be disconnected.
