  • Page 5: Introduction

    1. Introduction Congratulations on your new BF-7000 dual rotary rake from Fransgård Maskinfabrik. With its low weight and compact transport dimensions, the rotary rake is designed so that even smaller tractors can handle the rotary rake and drive on small and narrow fields where access to the field can also be a challenge.

    3. Symbols Illustrations Explanation Always read the instruction manual and stop the engine. Always read the safety instructions in the instruction manual and never start maintenance and repairs until the tractor has been stopped and the key has been removed from the ignition lock on the tractor.

    6. Safety instructions The machine is built according to recognised technical safety regulations. However, this cannot prevent a risk to life and limb of the user or other persons during use. It is always up to the user to ensure that all safety instructions are followed, thereby minimising the risk of dangerous situations.

    5. Stop the tractor and remove the key from the ignition lock. Failure to follow these instructions can create dangerous situations for the operator, as well as those around the area. WARNING PTO axles can continue to rotate even after switching off the PTO function. Therefore, always wait a few minutes before disconnecting the PTO axles.

    can create dangerous situations and have fatal consequences. Always keep an eye on the area and surroundings of the work area both before and while driving with the tool. WARNING Driving in operation also includes driving with the tractor's PTO. Never start the tractor's PTO until you have ensured that there are no persons in the vicinity and that everything described in Chapter 6.6 has been complied with.

    7. Delivery and assembly of the machine 7.1. Delivery The BF-7000 is delivered fully assembled either by Fransgård Maskinfabrik or one of our dealers, and is ready to use for the end user. Inspect the machine upon delivery to check for missing parts. Should missing parts be discovered, the dealer must be contacted to rectify the problem.

    Chapter 6, as there is a lot of important information to consider before you start preparing your tool for operation. 8.1. Connecting to the tractor The BF-7000 rotary rake attaches to the traditional 3-point suspension on the tractor and can use category 2/2, 3/2 and 3/3 hitch balls and category 2/2 and 3/2 top bar balls.

    8.6. Adjusting the cam The BF-7000 has the option to adjust the cam. This means that you adjust how the raking arms deliver the crop in the centre under the machine. The right setting is highly dependent on the type of crop you're working with and the volume of the crop.

  • Page 17: Attaching And Detaching The Raking Arms

    8.8. Adjusting the tractor's hydraulic flow As the flow divider on the BF-7000, which is designed to distribute hydraulic oil evenly to the two lifting cylinders, does not tolerate an excessive flow of oil, it is important to regulate the oil flow to approx.

    9.3. Driving with the tool. After unfolding the BF-7000, the rotors are raised slightly from the ground before starting the PTO, as it can be hard on the gearbox to start from 0 rpm if there is a load from the start with the rotors placed down in the crop.

    a close eye on how the rotary rake is working so you can always see if adjustments are needed. WARNING Never start the PTO until you have ensured that no one is in the vicinity of the rotary rake. 9.4. Turning around in a headland When turning in field's headland, the hydraulic system is used to raise the two rotors off the ground.

    10.1. Lubrication On a BF-7000, there are 36 lubrication nipples that need to be lubricated regularly. The vast majority are low speed plain bearings/bushings, where it is recommended to use LGEM 2 lubricating grease containing molybdenum, which helps to give the bearings/bushings a longer operational life.

  • Page 21: Tightening Bolts

    applying lubrication. If this is not done, you risk pushing dirt and debris into the bushings/bearings, which will result in much higher wear and tear and more quickly damage the machine. The lubrication interval on plain bearings/bushings on a brand new machine is after the first 5 hours of operation and every 25 hours of operation thereafter.

    4. attach the spring teeth in the reverse order of disassembly. 10.4. Replacing nylon wheels The BF-7000 is fitted with an open cam, where nylon wheels run in the cam and give the raking arms their pivoting function. Even though they are made of nylon (PA 6), which is very durable, it is inevitable that they will need to be replaced from time to time.

    T-gear with the wrong amount of oil. As the BF-7000 is most often used in open nature, it is recommended to use natural biological oil products to prevent contamination of nature if the T-gear should accidentally leak during operation.

  • Page 24: Tyres

    WARNING Working with oil products can cause irritation to the skin and eyes, so always wear protective eyewear and oil-proof gloves. 10.7. Tyres To achieve the best raking, it's important to drive with the same tyre pressure in all wheels. That's why it's recommended to check your tyre pressure daily.
  • Page 25 The BF-7000 is designed to fold up to minimise storage space. If you want the rotary rake to take up less space, you can remove the light bar and otherwise switch the rotary rake to transport position as described in Chapter 6.7.

  • Page 26: Optional Extras

    11. Optional extras 11.1. Nose wheel The job of the nose wheel is to ensure that the raking arm does not become soil-seeking, especially when driving on hilly fields, thereby ensuring a higher crop quality, which is crucial if the crop is used for feeding livestock.
