For tractors equipped with EHR, control with hydraulic lift is done with a button located outside
the tractor's cabin. When operating, please exercise particular caution.
When mounting the rake on a tractor, risk of wounding is likely. It is recommended that
operator wears protective gloves.
Do not operate without safety guards. Neither operation with damaged nor raised guard is
allowed (risk of stones, etc. being thrown out). Damaged safety curtain should be replaced.
Please make sure that no unauthorized personnel remains within the danger area of at least 170
ft (50m). Keep particular caution when operating near roads and in stony areas.
Perform any maintenance and adjustment work only when the drive is disconnected and rotor
has stopped completely.
When driving on public roads always comply with local traffic regulations, especially on the
warning lights.
CAUTION!
Make sure to perform any service and repair operations with the tractor drive
shut off and after all rotating parts have stopped completely.
WARNING!
Keep children away from the rake when operating and idle.
Check bolts and other fasteners regularly. Do not operate with damaged or worn fasteners.
Do not leave a running tractor without supervision. Before leaving the tractor turn off the engine
and remove the ignition key
If any break in the machine operation occurs, turn off the drive
Tractor cooperating with the rake should be equipped with a driver's cabin
Rake should not be operated when the tractor-rake aggregate is not well balanced
Never start the rake if any people or animals are around the rake
Always follow safety labels describing hazards, and warning signs placed on the machine
Before starting the tractor make sure that each drive is disconnected and control levers for
hydraulics are in neutral position
Do not drive the rake backwards when operating
Never get onto the rake
Never stand between the tractor and the rake, unless the tractor-rake aggregate is protected
against moving with the tractor's parking brake
Any inspections and adjustments may be conducted only when the rake is disconnected from the
tractor and on the ground
For repairs or adjustments to be done under the rake make sure to secure it against falling using
a proper support
If any part of the rake needs to be replaced, use only original spare parts according to spare part
list
Pay particular attention to PTO shaft guards and rake and tractor spline shaft guards. Never
operate with damaged guards
Inspect hydraulic hoses on regular basis and if any damage is found or their service life expires,
replace them. Service life for a hydraulic hose should be no longer than 5 years.
Never repair damaged hydraulic hoses using a tape.
When connecting hydraulic hoses to tractor’s hydraulic connectors make sure, that either tractor
or rake hydraulics are pressure free.
When servicing hydraulic unit, always wear protective gloves and eyewear. Hydraulic oil
leaking under pressure (16MPa) may permeate through the skin and cause its infection
thereafter. If this is the case, immediately visit a doctor.
The rake should be stored under a roof and in such way so as to effectively prevent animals and
people from being injured
