DISASSEMBLY OF THE TRACTOR
In order to park the rake, make sure that the ground beneath it is flat and is able
to bear the weight of the machine.
When the rake is raised and lowered, no-one should be standing between the
tractor and the machine or near the machine.
Before disconnecting the machine from the tractor, use the hydraulic system to
lower the machine completely, then apply the brake and shut off the tractor.
Dismount from the tractor and place the parking stand in the vertical position
(pos. 2, Fig. 18). Turn the crank to raise the machine from the drawbar so that
the hitch pin may be removed from the tractor. Disconnect the quick-release
coupling (4). Disconnect the cardan shaft and lay it against the parking stand
crank. The tractor may now be moved away.
If there are problems with space, when not in use the machine may be left in the
position shown in pag. 18.
Attention: the machine should be in the high position only when being
transported.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE FORAGE RAKE
The machine has to be adjusted when it is attached to the tractor.
Adjustment of work depth
Adjustment of working height
The working height is adjusted by turning screws (6) and nut (8) and by rotating
crank (7); it is advised to adjust the front tine so that it is 1 3/8” from the ground,
and to keep the machine tilted slightly towards the front. The rear tine should be
about 3/16” farther away from the ground.
If adjustment is too high, the forage will not be completely picked up and if it is
too low, the forage risks becoming dirty, the grass will be damaged and the
double elastic tines will be worn down.
