Preparing rake for transport on public roads
To meet safety precautions concerning transport on the public roads the rake should be
equipped with warning triangle, attached at the rake's rear (the plates are standard-delivered with
the machine.) To improve safety during the transport the machine should be fitted with a warning
triangle – to be purchased at the manufacturer.
When transporting on public roads respect provisions valid in the country of use.
NOTE:
If the rake's owner does not own the above warning lights and plates, these can be ordered at
the manufacturer.

Mounting telescopic articulated shaft
Mount the shaft with wide-angle joint from the rake side.
The guard should be protected against rotating by securing the shaft set chains to immovable
parts of the tractor and the rake.
NOTE:
If necessary shorten the shaft as provided in the corresponding operator's manual (
Fig. 12
).

Telescopic articulated shaft shortening instructions
CAUTION!
The articulated telescopic shaft should remain connected only during rake
operation. During transport or any servicing operations the shaft should be
disconnected from the PTO of the tractor
.
CAUTION!
Use machines with correspondingly designed driving PTO shafts. Before
work, safety guards should be inspected whether they (in the tractor, the rake
and the PTO shaft) are placed correctly and are not damaged. Damaged or
missing parts must be replaced. Make sure that the PTO shaft is mounted
properly. Approaching the rotating parts is strictly forbidden, as it may cause
serious injuries or even death. For any service and repair works on the shaft
and the rake, makes sure that the tractor’s engine and its drive is turned off.
Before operation, read the operator's manuals of both the machine and the
PTO shaft
.
NOTE
PTO shaft’s end with friction clutch should be mounted at the rake’s side
.
