Damage occurred in consequence of not adherence to that vital manufacturer’s
guideline will cause loss of warranty.
Prepare the PTO shaft
. Bear in mind that the tractor engine must be stopped first.
Make sure that all guards and safety chains are in place and not damaged. If so replace
them before starting work. Check if the PTO shaft is of the correct length. It should
have approximately 1/3 of the shaft overlapping as the minimum. But also check that
the inner shaft has not bottom out on the outer shaft (i.e. it is pressed too far inside so
that it touches the blind in the universal joints carrier). If the shaft length is found to be
insufficient or not cut to the correct measurement serious damage can occur to both
tractor and implement. Not following the manufacturers guidelines can result in
unconditional void of warranty.
Connect the PTO shaft fitting the side with the ratchet clutch to the drive shaft of the
hay rake. Check the further manufacturer’s recommendations in the
Operator’s manual of the PTO shaft.
Take the driving seat in the tractor cab, start the engine again and lift the hay rake into
the transport position.
10.3 Adjustments for work
After transport of the rotary rake to its work place change its configuration for work. All
activities regards preparation of the machine for work can be done only directly in its work
place. Do not transport the machine on the public roads with the arms and barriers
unfolded.
Follow the tips given below to prepare the hay rake for work after arrival in its work place:
Lower the machine down on a level surface so that it stands on its wheels.
Safe stop the tractor
(fully engage the handbrake, put all the controls in neutral, stop
the engine and remove the ignition key).
Get out of the tractor cab and approach the machine.
Put the top linkage pin in the slide for the work position (see figure 11 above). When
the machine will be raised, e.g. on the headlands, the pin will slide in the slide to its
maximum position and the steering rods will compress locking the machine from
Caution
Use only the PTO shaft recommended by the manufacturer of the machine.
Make sure the PTO shaft is of the correct length (look for further
information of how to cut it in the operator’s manual supplied with the PTO
shaft).
Caution
Before using of this machine make sure that there is adequate clearance
between the headstock and cab fixtures when lifting with the very short top
link. Always check clearance margins before use.
