SECTION 4 Pronar ZKP800

Selective control valve lever of the tractor's external hydraulic system used for controlling
operation of the lifting/lowering hydraulic cylinders should be set in "floating" position.
Consequently, the raking assemblies can adjust to uneven terrain.
Travel speed is adjusted during working. Travel speed should be adjusted in such a way as
to ensure that hay crop is completely raked and the swath is properly formed. Allowable
revolution speed of PTO shaft is 540 rpm. However, one should set such a revolution speed
as to prevent unnecessary spreading of hay crop. Revolution speed of PTO shaft should be
reduced when a drier swath is raked.
ATTENTION
Do NOT start the rotary rake with PTO revolution speed higher than 540 rpm.
The revolution speed of the shaft and the speed of travel depend on several factors, including
size of swath, degree of moisture, length of swath, type of ground, therefore the selection of
appropriate working parameters rests on the person operating the rotary rake. During
machine operation the linkage system shall be set in position adjustment work mode.
TIP
The height of raking arm setting should be checked frequently during working.
During turning or reversing, PTO shaft drive should be disengaged and the lifting arms of
raking assemblies should be raised slightly above the ground.
DANGER
Before engaging drive to PTO shaft make sure that there are no bystanders, especially
children, near the rotary rake. Maintain proper visibility of machine during work
Other persons should be at a safe distance from the rotary rake during work because of
the danger that objects may be thrown (stones, branches from beneath springtines.
