Preliminary information
Suitable and optimal use of the rake not only helps avoid accidents but is
also the only way to ensure high yield and make use of the rake's full
potential and performance.
The rake must be used by trained adult personnel knowledgeable of the
instructions in this manual and on the labels. Safety is of paramount
importance for the personnel that operate, repair and maintain the
equipment. As the instructions given cannot possibly cover all possible
working situations, personnel must always exercise caution and common
sense.
Before the tractor can transport the rake to the work area, it is advisable to
carry out the following preliminary checks:
•
Ensure all the parts of the rake are in their intended position and are
securely fitted;
•
Ensure the rake is fitted properly to the tractor;
•
Check efficiency of all the protection devices;
•
Carry out the daily maintenance checks described in the relative
paragraph. Note: should the rake be returned to service after a long
period of inactivity, ensure it has been properly maintained and that it
has not been damaged in any way by poor weather or storage
conditions.

Operation and use
The rake must be taken to the work area in keeping with the instructions in
paragraph B2 “Handling and Transportation”.
The tractor driver is personally responsible for the general procedure of
conveying the rake and must therefore prepare the rake for transportation
as follows:
•
Firstly, the operator must remove any safety devices that need to be
removed for transportation, i.e. The jacks' end stop devices (B) and
the arms' tie rods (A):
-
End stop device: remove the safety pin to free the device, lift the
latter from the jack rod and move it further back, as shown in the
illustration. Re-fasten the device with the safety pin (do one side
at a time);
-
Arms' tie rods: remove the safety pin from the locating pin and
remove the latter from its housing. Repeat the same procedure
on the other side of the tie rod and then remove it from the
rake's pinned supports. Move the tie rod to the points on the
frame shown in the illustration. Screw the body of the tie rod into
place at the new points.
•
After removing the safety devices, the operator uses the respective
controls in the cabin to fully open the rake’s arms (control A) into the
working configuration, and then lower the rake wheels (control B),
which all move together, as shown in the illustration.
