4.1 PREPARING FOR WORK BEFORE FIRST USE
The manufacturer guarantees that the windrower is fully operational and has been checked
according to quality control procedures and is ready for normal use. This does not release
the user from an obligation to check the machine's condition after delivery and before first
use. The machine is delivered to the user in a completely assembled state.
Before connecting to tractor, machine operator must inspect the technical condition of the
windrower and prepare it for test startup. In order to do this:
•
the user must familiarise himself with the content of these instructions and
observe all recommendations, understand the design and the principle of
machine operation
•
check the condition of protective paint coat,
•
Inspect windrower's individual components for mechanical damage resulting
from incorrect transport (dents, piercing, deflections or broken components),
•
Check the windrower's all lubrication points, lubricate the machine as needed
according to recommendations provided in section 5,
•
Check technical condition of tyres and tyre pressure,
•
check if wheel and rocker mounting is correct,
•
check if springtine finger and guard mounting is correct,
•
check technical condition of hitching system pins and locking linchpins,
•
check lubricating oil level in reduction gear.
If all the above checks have been performed and there is no doubt as to the windrower's
good technical condition, it can be connected to tractor. Start the tractors engine, check all
systems and test the windrower before beginning work. In order to inspect:
•
Hitch windrower to tractor.
•
set raking arms, raise windrower upwards maximally using the crank, so that
raking fingers do not touch surface,
•

•
