9.6 Inspection and maintenance of raking tines
The raking tines were made of spring steel what allows them to bear dynamic loads easily.
Nonetheless, despite of their strength and durability, the tines are subject to natural wear as
a result of contact with the crop, stubble, obstacles etc. Additionally, constant vibration can
cause the separable connections to go loose. For this reason, the threaded bolts and nuts
securing the tines to the raking arms require regular tightening up. Before starting work,
make sure that all of the raking tines are in good condition and each of the connectors is
complete and not loose. The manufacturer recommends immediate replacement of
damaged tine with a new one. Do not work with a damaged tine or missing connector and
never attempt to repair the tine if it is faulty.
