10.1 Before trying the machine for the first time
The manufacturer ensures that the machine is fully operational and has been checked according to
the quality control procedures and approved for use. However, this does not relieve the user from

operating principals, transportation, service and maintenance recommendations etc.
b)
With help of this operating manual, familiarize yourself visually with the built of the hay rake
and placement of the safety alert pictograms located on the machine near the specific
hazards. Make sure that you recognize thoroughly the meaning of all safety labels and what
kind of danger do they represent. Be cautious when near the machine.

Check if the machine is complete, especially that all separable connections e.g. threaded
bolts, nuts, linkage pins, safety cotter/linch pins etc. are not missing.
d)
Make sure that all threaded connectors are tight.
e)
Check the condition of the tires and tire pressure.
f)
Check if the wheels are attached properly to the undercarriage.

especially when loading/ unloading or in haulage. Be vigilant in particular for fractures,
dents, cracks, punctures etc.

needed. Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer as described in the chapter

m)
Make sure that the safety barriers were mounted in a correct way and are fully operable.
n)

compartment is sufficient.
After completing the above check-up and if there is no reservation regards the technical condition
