country where the machine is used. The plastic film should also be disposed of according to the laws in
force in the country where the machine is used.
2. When storing, it is permissible to stack 2-3 crates on top of each other. Make sure that they are perfectly
aligned cortically.
3. In the event of further transport, ensure that the machine went on the transporting vehicle.
General Assembly
Assembly is highly dangerous and must be carried out in strict accordance with the following instructions. We
recommend that qualified personnel perform assembly. It is highly recommended that assembly be carried out
in a flat, solid surface, open area with no people (particularly children) nearby who could be severely be injured
if they were to touch or move any parts of the machine.
When assembling the implement provide suitable lifting mechanisms and supports to stabilize the partially
assembled implements. This will prevent them from falling and causing damage to the implement or serious
injury. The steps for assembly are illustrated in the following pages. Depending on the experience of the
assemblers and the tools available, it is not necessary that the instructions be followed in the exact order given
here, but the safety precautions described above must always be followed carefully and scrupulously.
Make sure the area around the machine is clear before lowering the wings. Do not lower the
tedder wings when people or pets are near the rotary tedder or folding mechanism. The
tedder must be attached to the tractor when the wings are folded.
Always wear protective eye goggles and use a magnifying glass or hold a piece of wood on
suspected leaks. Pinhole hydraulic leaks can penetrate the skin. Do not touch.
Support and Wheel Assembly
1. To facilitate the assembly of the wheel supports, it is advised that the machine body be turned upside
down. If you use a different assembly method, keep in mind that once pins (5) and bushings (6) (pre-
assembled by in the shop to guarantee correct assembly and safe handling of the machine) are removed,
the rotor assemblies 1,2,3,4 are free to move from their mountings, causing problems for correct assembly
and for the safety of the operators.
USE MAXIMUM CAUTION
2. (Refer to Section A of
Asm-HT-0010
) Remove pins (5) and bushings (6) (keep in mind the warnings in step
1).
3. To avoid errors in assembly, we have numbered both the wheel supports 1,2,3,4 and the rotor assemblies
1,2,3,4 with decals. Combine the wheel support marked with 1 and so on.
4. Before moving on to the fastening of wheel supports 1,2,3,4 to the respective rotors, make sure that the
position of the holes A,B,C,D of the rotor disc are positioned as shown.
5. (Refer to section B of
Asm-HT-0010
