WARNING!
Use the machines with PTO shafts designed to drive them. Before the work
begins, check the safety guards (in tractor, tedder and PTO shaft), if they are
placed correctly and are not damaged. Damaged or lost parts must be replaced
with genuine ones. Make sure the PTO shaft is properly mounted. It is
forbidden to approach the rotating parts, because it may lead to serious injuries
or even death. All service and repair operations must be done only after the
tractor engine has been stopped, all rotating parts have come to the complete
standstill and the machine is on the ground. Before the operation begins, read
operator’s manuals of both the machine and PTO shaft.
NOTICE:
PTO shaft’s end with friction clutch should be mounted on tedder’s side.

Switching from transport to working position
WARNING:
Moving the tedder to and from operating position from the transport position
should only take place on even and stable ground. Prior to making the moves
make sure whether there are no unauthorized persons exposed to any
hazardous moving parts.
Make sure there is nobody around in the place where you are going to lower the tedder.
With tractor’s lever lower the tedder to reach the horizontal position in a possibly slow way.
By means of cord
L
(
Fig. 14
) unlatch the locking pawls
Z
L
and
Z
P
(
Fig. 14
) at the same time
pulling down the hydraulic cylinders.
NOTICE:
In the case of
P8
tedders, it is necessary to lift both locking pawls at the same time. Then the
both position sensors (
C
in
Fig. 14
) will work. The lifting just one of two locking pawls
make unfolding the tedder impossible.
In the case of
P4
and
P6
tedders, by means of hydraulic cylinder lower the rotors until they are
on the ground in a possibly slow way.
