Shaft's length should be adjusted individually for the tractor, on which the machine is mounted. In
order to determine minimal shaft length:
set aggregated rakes in working position,
take measurement of distance between two shafts as provided in
Fig. 9
,
next additionally distract
80mm / 3.15
″
from the resulting measurement (
L
Z
) in order to keep
tolerance and shorten the shaft for this particular length (
Fig. 10
). Information on proper
shortening of shafts is provided on decal N-149 (
Fig. 8
) placed on the machine and also found
in shaft’s manual provided by its manufacturer.

5.4. Moving from transport to working position
WARNING:
Moving the rake to and from operating position from the transport position
should only take place on even and stable ground. Prior to making the moves
make sure whether there are no unauthorized persons exposed to any
hazardous moving parts.
To safely move to the operating position, do the following:
make sure there is nobody in the place where you are going to lower the rake,
using a cord, open the locks,
by means of hydraulic lifting assembly lower the rake arms as slow as possible to absorb the
machine as it contacts the ground,
if raking tines were demounted, take off arms from transport holders, put them into the rotors
and secure them with cotter pins,
lower safety guards.
