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.
