Use and maintenance manual SAFETY B1 Main regulations In this manual describes the safety regulations to observe in using the hay rake. As most of the accidents at work occur because the most basic safety regulations are not complied with, it is compulsory, before activating any function, to read this manual and scrupulously follow the instructions herein. The equipment must be used by adult personnel, qualified and trained on its use.
Use and maintenance manual You must remember that the transportation configuration entails (in sequence): lifting the hay wheels, by using the correspondent lever of the hydraulic system placed in cabin; closing the mobile frame, by pulling the string in the cabin that unlocks the mechanical block (1) from the plate working angle mobile frame (2) and simultaneously going in reverse with the tractor.
Page 11
Use and maintenance manual The movement of the hay wheel (lifting and lowering), and in the hydraulic version the alignment of the rear wheel to the tractor, are executed through hydraulic jacks. These jacks are powered by the auxiliary hydraulic system of the tractor by means of pipes with fast couplings, and therefore controlled by the corresponding lever in the cabin.
Use and maintenance manual the parking brake, stop the tractor engine and remove the key from the ignition; during work breaks, the operator must not allow unauthorized and/or unqualified personnel to replace him; before reversing with the tractor or for direction changes at the end of the field, the operator must necessarily place the rake in transport configuration, as described in the previous paragraph.
Use and maintenance manual delegate someone else, which has not its own requirements, to replace him in his duties. Since the instructions in this manual cannot cover all the possible situations of danger, each operator must always use caution and common sense. Everyone, therefore, becomes liable for damages caused to others, to himself, to animals or things if: the machinery is used incorrectly or in improper ways;...

Use and maintenance manual • Finally, the operator controls the lowering of the hay wheels (G). At this time, the rake is ready to operate. The rake's functioning is very simple because, as it is installed on the tractor, it is dragged by it in its forward direction. In this way, the raked wheels brush against the ground for the dragging effect, and because of the rotary movement the teeth will collect the cut forage.
Use and maintenance manual For the storing of the equipment, follow the instructions described in Section C5. D3 Hay wheel weight on soil The effectiveness of the collected cut forage, depends on the hay wheels weight on soil. It can be adjusted, before the hay wheel are lowering, using the relating knob (1) located on the mobile frame.
