OPERATING THE RAKE
OPERATING THE RAKE
CAUTION: To avoid bodily injury:
•
Keep bystanders away from machine
while it is operating as foreign objects may
be thrown by machine.
•
Allow only the operator on tractor
platform when operating the tractor and
rake.
•
Slow down when turning or traveling
over rough terrain.
•
Engage tractor parking brake and/or
place transmission in “Park,” shut off
tractor engine and remove key before
servicing or making adjustments to rake.
Regulate ground speed according to crop condition,
terrain, and tractor horsepower. In general, raking
speeds at 8—11 km/h (5—7 mph) will produce good
results. A slower ground speed may be necessary for
hills or rough terrain.
For sickle mowed crop, rake in the same direction as
mower travel.
For rotary mowed crop, rake in opposite direction as
mower travel.
