
FOR THE PURPOSES OF TOWING lock the rake with the latch to limit its movements to
the left and right.

WHILE DRIVING consider the large size of the machine.
3.2.3. WORKING

BEFORE CONVERTING the rake from transport position to operation position shut down
the engine, remove the key from the ignition switch and immobilise the tractor.

THE TELESCOPIC ARTICULATED SHAFT should be mounted only after performing all
actions necessary to put the rake into operation position.

BEFORE STARTING UP the rake, ensure that there are no bystanders or animals within the
reach of, or near, the rake.

DO NOT ALLOW
the rake’s arms to be operated while hydraulically lifted by the tractor.

BE EXTRA CAREFUL when converting the rake from transport to operation position. It
changes it width when folding or unfolding, and when arms are moved, the tines switch
position from horizontal to vertical (towards the ground).

WHILE OPERATING the turner ensure that the area within the 50 m perimeter is clear from
people and animals.
The support should be set in the upper position.
3.2.4.
UNCOUPLING FROM THE TRACTOR FOR PARKING OR STORAGE

BEFORE UNCOUPLING the rake from the tractor, make sure that the rake will not slide or
roll.

WHEN THE RAKE is lifted, secure it against dropping by setting the support in the lower
parking position.

AFTER SETTING the rake on the ground, shutting down the tractor engine, immobilising the
tractor and removing the key from the ignition switch, the first thing to do is to dismount the
telescopic articulated shaft from the power output shaft of the tractor.

PARK AND STORE the rake in areas inaccessible to people (including children) and
animals.
