pivoting. Beware of clearance margins between the headstock and cab fixtures when
lifting with the very short top link.
Remove the protective sleeves from the raking tines.
Free the first folding arm from the transport lock, unfold it and secure it in work
position. Then unfold and secure the rest of the folding arms (see the subchapter No
9.2).
Unlock and unfold the safety barriers (see the subchapter No 9.3).
Pre-set the width of the windrows (see the subchapter No 9.4).
Adjust the raking height (see the subchapter No 9.5).
Make sure that the PTO shaft it is fully operable. Double check that it was adapted
properly and safely connected to both the machine and the tractor (see the
subchapter No 10.2).
Check if all of the pins are secured from falling off with the safety cotter/linch pins.
Without putting the machine under load carry out its trial start up with rotations at
low speed to check if all the assemblies work correctly. The trial start-up should last
several minutes. Be vigilant for untypical noises coming from the drive assembly e.g.
crackling, grinding or knocking sounds. Ensure that the direction of the rotations of the
rotor is correct and that the cam mechanism works properly and the arms are lifted
and rotated in the correct moment. The work of the hay rake on the neutral gear
should be flowless and without intensive vibrations. Ringing sounds or vibrations can
be caused by the loose threaded connectors. After trial start-up inspect the drive
assembly and the rotor for failures or leaks. In case that any failure was revealed, try to
localize and remove its source by carrying out necessary repairs. Contact with the
Seller of the machine if the problem is more serious and cannot be easy dealt with.
10.4 Preparation of the hay rake to the transport
After the work commencement, the tractor mounted machine should be folded into the
transport position and secured for the transit. Safely stop the tractor as first by fully
engaging the handbrake, putting all the controls in neutral, stopping the engine, removing
the ignition key and locking the tractor cabin to avoid possibility of the third party
interference. Do not transport the tractor mounted machine after the nightfall and when the
visibility is poor. To transport at night you should have reflectors and marker lights as per
Highway Regulations (for further information see for the Road Traffic Instructions and
Highway Acts applicable in your country). To prepare the hay rake for the transport pull back
the shield arm of the swath deflector following the instruction from the subchapter 9.4, but
Caution
Make sure that the machine is in good technical condition before starting
work with it. Check especially such elements as the raking assembly,
undercarriage, safety guards and barriers are complete and operable.
Remember to inspect the mounting of the raking tines.
