4.1 PREPARING FOR WORK BEFORE FIRST USE
4.1.1 CHECKING THE ROTARY RAKE AFTER DELIVERY
The rotary rake is partially dismantled for shipment to the user. The manufacturer guarantees
that the rotary rake is fully operational and has been checked according to quality control
procedures and is ready for use. This does not release the user from an obligation to check
the machine's condition prior to purchasing and before first use.
ANNEX A to this manual includes INITIAL SET-UP instructions describing the first
installation steps after delivery.
Before connecting the rotary rake, check whether the tractor meets applicable requirements.
The rotary rake may be connected only to such tractors which meet applicable requirements
(agricultural tractor requirements are specified in table (1.1)).
ATTENTION!
Before proceeding to hitching to tractor and before first use of the rotary rake the user
must carefully read this Operator's Manual and the Operator's Manual of PTO shaft
attached to the machine and observe all recommendations.
Before using the rotary rake always check its technical condition. In particular check the
technical condition of the raking system, wheel system, all protective guards and correct
condition of mounting of raking fingers.
The rotary rake may only be hitched to an agricultural tractor which has the rear three
point linkage of category I or II and the required electrical system connection sockets.
Oil in the tractor external hydraulic system must have appropriate characteristics or
must be mixable with the oil in the hydraulic system of the rotary rake.
Before connecting to tractor, machine operator must inspect the technical condition of the
rotary rake, adapt it to his/her own needs and prepare it for test start-up. In order to do this:
check completeness of machine,
check condition of paint coatings, traces of corrosion or mechanical damage
(crushing, piercing, bending or breaking of minor elements),
check technical condition of protective shields and check if they are correctly
installed,
