OPERATOR’S MANUAL

 

DOUBLE-ROTOR RAKES 

DUO

 

 

4.9.2. Danger of wound, abrasion and damage of skin 

Present when replacing working parts with sharp edges, cleaning the machine and removal of any 

clogging and jams

For any repair and maintenance works always wear safety gloves. 

 

4.9.3. Danger of liquid ejection out of hydraulics 

When connecting hydraulic hoses to and from the tractor hydraulic connectors make sure, that 

either tractor or mower hydraulics are pressure free.  

When  servicing  hydraulic  unit,  always  wear  protective  gloves  and  eyewear.  Inspect  hydraulic 

hoses regularly. 

NOTE: 

Residual risk results from incorrect behavior of the machine's operator. 
 
 

4.9.4. Bans 

Bear in mind the following bans when operating the rakes: 

 

 

Do not unblock the rake, make any adjustments or repairs when the mower is operating. 

 

Never change the sequence of operation and maintenance works specified in the operator's manual. 

 

Never operate the rake when its working condition is poor or has safety guards damaged. 

 

Never get your limbs close to rake's rotating parts. 

 

During the rake's repair and maintenance works always comply with the descriptions included in 
the operator's manual, while conducting them with the tractor drive disconnected. 

 

Prior to approaching any works, focus your attention solely on the tasks to do. 

 

Never operate the rakes being under influence of alcohol, drugs, or strong medicines. 

 

Wear clothing that is not too loose, nor too tight. Too loose clothing elements may be pulled in by 
the machine's rotating parts. 

 

The rake cannot be operated by children nor handicapped people. 

When describing residual risk, the rake shall be considered a machine, which until the moment of 

production launching had been designed and manufactured in accordance with top technology level 
actual as per the machine manufacture date. 

 

NOTE: 

There is possibility of residual risk if not complying with specified instructions 
and bans. 
 

 

When the risk of being exposed to noise cannot be avoided or eliminated by any 
group protective means or organization of work, employer (operator) must: 
1) provide the operator with individual means of noise protection, if the noise 

level in work place exceeds 80 dB. 

2) provide the operator with individual means of noise protection and supervise 

its proper use, if the noise level in work place reaches or exceeds 85 dB.
