5.2 Rake operation – linking to tractor
Before linking to the tractor, place the machine on a hard, flat surface, lower down the
support stands and lock the chassis in place by means of wheel blocks. Beware of
potential stabbing hazard whilst moving near the arms which are folded in the
transport position. To reduce injury risk always cover upwards facing tines with the
provided protective yellow sleeves at all times..
Do not power up the machine with the rotor arms in the transport position.
Powering up the rotor when locked in place can cause permanent damage to
the rotor gearbox and the power take off drive line.
No one is allowed to stand in-between the implement and the tractor whilst
connecting the tractor three point linkage. This area is considered a crush zone.
Extra care must be exercised when linking the implement to the tractor.
The headstock of the machine is designed for use with rear tractor three point linkage
of category I/II and it should not be used with any different category.
To secure three point linkage pins from falling out use only typical cotter/ linch pins
supplied by the manufacturer. Work with non-standard safety pins or without any
safety pin is forbidden.
Make sure the correct type of PTO shaft is used and it has suitable movement within
the operation zones, if in doubt, consult operator’s manual for PTO shaft.
Do not use PTO shaft with no safety covers on or when the safety covers or the PTO
shaft itself are damaged. Remove the fault if possible or replace the item with new.
To prevent the PTO shaft safety cover from spinning, connect the safety chain to a
rigid, not moving element of the machine.
Always have the PTO shaft connected to the tractor and to the machine to prevent
damage in transit. Do not use safety chains of the PTO shaft to support it whilst in
transport.
After connecting the PTO shaft check the correctness of the connection at both ends.
Make sure that safety covers and chains are in place.
Before you power the implement up:
o
Make sure that the direction of rotations of the PTO shaft is correct.
o
Check if the tine arms are set in correct position and are appropriately secured.
o
Make sure no one stays in the hazard zones. Be especially vigilant for children
and animals. The Operator is responsible for keeping sufficient visibility of the
machine and work area.
