INTRODUCTION
A1 Information about the hay rakes
The hay rake is an agricultural equipment used to collect any other type of previously cut forage. Our RT 7 –9 are semi-mounted models and they are equipped
with a flexible and strong frame, for working on any type of soil, even on hilly ones. Each hay wheel (from 7 to 9) is independent from the others, because each one
is provided with a shock absorbing spring that allows it to follow the contours of the soil. The hay rake can work only if installed on any agricultural tractor equipped
with trailer hitch.
Its operation, besides to be hydraulic for the movement of arms and hay wheels, is obtained for effect of the trailing by the tractor to which it is attached.
Information more detailed about the rake operation is described in the relative chapter.
A2 Information about the manual
The company ENOROSSI (hereafter mentioned as “Manufacturer”) designed and built the equipment according to the appropriate safety rules with the precise
purpose to safe-guard both the personnel operating on the equipment that the whole operative system.
Every rake is supplied with a copy of this manual, which has to be read very carefully before using the machinery. In the manual are described the necessary
information about the transport, the use and the maintenance of the equipment as well as the relative safety rules.
The lacking in knowledge of the operational system may cause accidents, with consequent damages to the same equipment. Therefore, even if upon delivery the
Manufacturer supplies the Customer all information relating to the hay rake (functioning, use and maintenance), the Customer must read this manual and observe
the instructions therein.
The manual supplies the basic information for obtaining the best work and safety conditions but it remains the experience and good sense of the operator the most
important factor for the equipment functioning.
This manual was edited based on the current technical and constructive features of the hay rake and does not take into account similar products, produced
previously. However, the Manufacturer reserves the right to make modifications to the models in production, in order to improve its product or in case new relative
dispositions are issued (Machinery Directive), without the obligation of adjusting the previously manufactured models
This manual constitutes integrating part of the hay rake and, therefore, it must be well preserved, clean and intact in all its parts and kept in appropriate container,
placed on the equipment frame or inside the tractor cabin, ready for consultation. In case of transfer of the hay rake, it will be important to verify that the manual is
present in its case. In case it is lost, request a duplicate from the Manufacturer.
If during reading of the manual the instructions should be incomprehensible, contact the Manufacturer for the opportune clarifications. Should the manual be
translated in other language and part of its content present controversies, the valid text of reference remains that written in the Italian language.
Signals contained in the manual:
IMPORTANT
To signal the information must be known by the operator;

Use and maintenance manual
6 - INTRODUCTION
DANGER
To signal a probably dangerous situation regarding the health of the operator and others (slight injuries or accidents) or the efficiency of the rake;
The writing Note indicates that the treated matter can make it easier for the operators to carry out their work.
A3 Identification and CE mark
Every equipment is provided with an identification plate applied on the frame and clearly visible, on which the following data is reported:
-the model (and/or version) of the rake;
-serial number;
-minimum power of the tractor (kw);
-total weight (kg);
-year of manufacture.
This data must be quoted every time requesting assistance and spare parts.
IMPORTANT
It is strictly forbidden to alter and/or delete the data on the identification plate. However, the operator
must often verify legibility of the data and, when precarious, inform the Manufacturer. The manufacturer
will place the data on a new plate and replace the previous one.
The CE mark indicates the manufacturer has complied with the dispositions the Member states of the
European Community has adopted on the health and safety and that is known as “Machinery Directive”. This means the manufacturer has designed and
manufactured the equipment in the full respect of all requisites for its use and to avoid all possible deriving risks and dangers. Therefore, the hay rank can
freely circulate on the European territory only if provided with this mark and relative declaration of conformity.

A5 Warranty
The Enorossi firm (the Manufacturer) guarantees that all parts of
the rake are free of defects as they are all tested before delivery
to the Customer. The warranty is valid for a year from the date
specified in the fiscal delivery document, unless arranged
otherwise in writing with the Customer. The Customer, upon
receipt of the shipment, must check the components are intact
and none are missing. Any claims must be made to the
manufacturer in writing within 8 (eight) days of receiving the rake.
Any components with manufacturing or material defects that
cause operating faults within the terms of the Warranty are
replaced by the Enorossi firm at no charge and at its own
premises. –If the components cannot be replaced at its
premises, the Manufacturer will return the
defective parts to the Customer’s premises. In this case, the
Enorossi firm cannot extend the term of the warranty for the time
the rake is out of service, nor offer refunds or compensation for
expenses or damage, whether direct or indirect. –If the services
of one of our technicians are equired, the Customer pays for all
manual labour and travel expenses. Only the Manufacturer or
technician employed by the Manufacturer should inspect the
defect.
However, it must be taken into consideration that:
• the faulty pieces remain the property of the Manufacturer;
• should replacement be carried out at the Customer's establishment, the faulty pieces must be returned and, therefore, sent to the Manufacturer, for subjecting to
technical review, integrates without tampering, without tampering and carriage paid;
• in case faulty pieces cannot be returned to the Manufacturer within 30 days, from date of receiving the new ones and with the methods described in previous
point, the Manufacturer reserves the right to sending an invoice for the new sent pieces.
The warranty is not recognized:
• during transport as the rake travels under Customer responsibility;
• when the faults derive from improper or incorrect use of the rake or operator negligence;
• when the faults are caused by normal wear, even with the rake not working;

• in case of late signaling of the manufacturing defects;
• in case of accidents or fortuitous cases of force majeure.
The warranty becomes void in case:
• the rake is used by inadequately trained personnel;
• the indications and/or regulations in these instructions have not been followed or complied with;
• the envisioned maintenance interventions have not been carried out;
• the Customer makes modifications to the rake without the written authorization by the Manufacturer or the same tampers with the components;
• non-original spare parts are used or non-conform with those recommended by the Manufacturer.
However, the warranty period recognized for the rake is not valid for all components not manufactured by the Manufacturer and for which that reported in the
relative purchase notes remains valid.
IMPORTANT
The Manufacturer does not guarantee conformity of the rake with the legal dispositions in force and, in particular, with those relating to accident prevention and
pollution in the non-E.U. countries. The adjustment of the hay rake to the respective regulations will be the full responsibility and at the expense of the
Customer. The Manufacturer is lifted from every responsibility if the compliance with the same regulations should give rise to controversies or cause any type of
damage.

Use and maintenance manual
SAFETY - 9
SAFETY
B1 Main regulations
In this manual describes the safety regulations to observe in using the hay rake. As most of the accidents at work occur because the most basic safety regulations
are not complied with, it is compulsory, before activating any function, to read this manual and scrupulously follow the instructions herein.
The equipment must be used by adult personnel, qualified and trained on its use. Therefore, the Manufacturer does not answer for accidents caused by
operator negligence and/or non-compliance with the safety regulations. Also, both the Manufacturer responsibility and warranty of the hay rake would
immediately become void.
B2 Safety relating to transport, installation, movements and use
Transport (delivery): the equipment is fully dismantled and placed in a crate for the transport. The Customer can then re-assemble the parts quickly and easily,
following the detailed instructions. If the rake is sold or handed over to another user, the rake can be dismantled by following the instructions in the reverse order,
although it can also be delivered fully assembled. If the rake cannot be transported on road hitched to the tractor for distance problems, it can be easily put on a
suitable means of transport, as shown in the figure.
The rake is loaded or unloaded via a ramp attached to the vehicle. When ready for
transport, the equipment is first pushed, in reversed, on the floor of the vehicle and,
once in place, it is connected to the tractor and equipped with all necessary safety
devices for transport.
DANGER
Loading and unloading can involve a certain element of risk so must be
carried out taking all due precautions.
Always take the following precautions:
-Loading/unloading must be carried out on a flat surface and at a safe distance from slopes or ditches;
-Always ensure the ramps are strong enough to withstand the rake's weight (given on the identification plate), are firmly attached to the vehicle and are parallel
to each other and perpendicular with the edge of the vehicle; Ensure the ramps are clean, without any traces of oil, grease or ice;
-Never change direction when moving the rake onto or off the vehicle. If this does become necessary, bring the rake back down to change its trajectory.
•Transport (mounted):as this is a semi-mounted type, it can only be transported if attached to an agricultural tractor. In this case, the device must always be in
its transportation configuration, as illustrated in figure. This configuration is necessary as the device can be up to 6 metres in width in its working
configuration.
This type of rake is without approval for road circulation, and therefore, it is only allowed to transport on fields.

Use and maintenance manual
10 - SAFETY
You must remember that the transportation configuration entails (in sequence):
-lifting the hay wheels, by using the correspondent lever of the hydraulic system
placed in cabin;
-closing the mobile frame, by pulling the string in the cabin that unlocks the
mechanical block (1) from the plate working angle mobile frame (2) and
simultaneously going in reverse with the tractor. This movement involves the
closing of the mobile frame that will automatically end when the blocking device will
found the correspondent hole on the plate and it will be hooked to it;
-the application of the locking pin rear wheel (3) on the relative plate. The
arrangement of the wheel in the tractor direction is manual on the mechanical
version. On the hydraulic version it is necessary to use a special jack;
-the application of the block running device on the jack rod positioning hay wheels
(4) (in order to avoid its possible retraction) and its locking by using a safety plug.
•Installation: the equipment must only be installed on agricultural tractors with universal
three-point hitch system and with rear hydraulic connection.
IMPORTANT
The tractors must, in turn, be provided with protective roll-bar or ROPS or FOPS
approved cabins, as indicated by the current Standards. It is strictly forbidden to
install the equipment on tractors without these protections.
However, before installing, the Customer must consult the relative use and maintenance
manual to ascertain the tractor has the necessary requisites to use and function the hay
rake and/or ballasts are required to eliminate any unbalances that might cause it to
overturn. For instructions relating to the installation of the hay rake consult the relative
paragraph described below.
B3 Intended use and precautions
The hay rake is an agricultural equipment used to collect any other type of previously cut
forage. Once the windrows (straights of cut hay) are created, the forage is harvested using
a special baler.
The rake, as mentioned before, is a mounted type and therefore it has to be attached to an
agricultural tractor for it to work. Its functioning is obtained for effect of
its dragging by the machine towing it and for the rotary movement of the hay wheel, that
thanks to their teeth will collect the cut forage.

Use and maintenance manual
SAFETY - 11
The movement of the hay wheel (lifting and lowering), and in the hydraulic version the alignment of the rear wheel to the tractor, are executed through hydraulic
jacks. These jacks are powered by the auxiliary hydraulic system of the tractor by means of pipes with fast couplings, and therefore controlled by the
corresponding lever in the cabin.
In any case, the rake must only be operated by qualified and well trained adult
personnel who have read the instructions in this manual. Safety is of paramount
importance for personnel operating, repairing or maintaining the device. As the
instructions given in this manual cannot cover all possible working situations and
related risks, personnel must always act with caution and with common sense.
Precautions before use:
-verify the correct installation of the rake on to the tractor and that all relative
blocking and
safety devices are present and intact;
-Do not use the equipment if there are any broken parts or damaged, especially
regarding protective parts;
-
-The opening, as well as the closing of the mobile frame must take place with
the hay wheels raised from the ground;
-the movements of the hay wheels and frame should be done slowly. Avoid violent
impacts that may cause damage to parts and components;
-Carry out the daily maintenance (as described on the relevant paragraph). It is
important to remember that any kind of intervention (control, adjustment,
maintenance or others) must always be performed with the rake stopped and
the tractor engine off;
-The rake does not require special attention during use as it is not operated
directly, being trailed by the tractor; the operator must, however, ensure that no
persons or animals come too close in the dangerous areas (as shown in figure)
in the interest of their safety;
-The use of the rake is admitted in good visibility and lighting conditions. Should these conditions lack, even partially, it is advised to interrupt work as the
normal safe conditions would also lack. Work should only be re-started if the good visibility and lighting conditions are restored.
Precautions during use:
-during operations, always maintain the tractor speed within 3 km/h;
-even for short stops, the operator should never leave the tractor in motion and unattended. Before leaving the tractor he must always disengage the PTO, pull

12 - SAFETY
the parking brake, stop the tractor engine and remove the key from the ignition;
-during work breaks, the operator must not allow unauthorized and/or unqualified personnel to replace him;
-before reversing with the tractor or for direction changes at the end of the field, the operator must necessarily place the rake in transport configuration, as
described in the previous paragraph. However see also section D2.4 Change of direction or reverse. The machinery could suffer serious damage if the rake is
not in the right position.
Immediately interrupt work operations if:
-you are in proximity of resistant objects, such as manholes, wells, trees, etc. since contact could break the teeth, and projected the pieces all around at high
speed;
-you hear audible vibrations coming from the machinery. To avoid possible damages, you should stop the tractor, disengaged the PTO, stop the engine and if
possible, identify and remedy the situation, always in respect with safety regulations.
B4 Reasonably foreseeable misuses and limitations
Using the rake in a different way from what described in the previous paragraph is to be considered improper and therefore prohibited. In addition, its technical
characteristics should never in any way, be altered to change its performance. If this happens, both the warranty and the Manufacturer’s responsibility on the
machinery would immediately be cancelled.
Visibility: in conditions of poor visibility (fog, dust, smoke or other): it is recommended to stop the working operations and wait until the fog, dust, smoke or other
subsides. Behave similarly in the case of wind and/or rain.
Dangerous areas: if, during the working operations, a person or an animal enters a danger zones (see previous paragraph), the operator must immediately
disengaged the PTO, stop the tractor and remove the intruder. The areas remain at risk and therefore dangerous even during maintenance and/or adjustment
operations, therefore, non-authorized people should not stand or move around or in the vicinity of the machinery.
Do not use the machinery if:
-The cut product is wet or damp. Under these conditions, it becomes sticky and easily accumulates on teeth, limiting its operational function;
DANGER
-no operations should take place in masonry proximity. In these cases apart from the possibility of damaging the teeth there could also be a
dangerous projection of relative residues;
For any doubt on the use of the rake and not included in this manual please contact the Manufacturer.
B5 Operator responsibility
Safety is of primary importance for the personnel working around the machinery and for this reason each operator in charge, who must be qualified, trained and of
age, is directly responsible for the operational control of the rake, for maintenance, repairs and/or spare parts replacement. This means that each operator cannot

Use and maintenance manual
SAFETY - 13
delegate someone else, which has not its own requirements, to replace him in his duties. Since the instructions in this manual cannot cover all the possible
situations of danger, each operator must always use caution and common sense. Everyone, therefore, becomes liable for damages caused to others, to himself, to
animals or things if:
-the machinery is used incorrectly or in improper ways;
-the machinery is used while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or in a state of tiredness or sickness;
-clothing that can be caught in moving or rotating parts is worn;
-appears to not be aware of the instructions in the manual;
-not having previously verified the requirements, the coupling to the tractor is not suitable (power or characteristics differ from those listed in the technical data
table);
-did not carry out the necessary maintenance operations, which although simple, if not carried out properly can result in equipment damage and pose a safety
hazard to people exposed;
-has modified to machinery or has run unauthorized interventions on it;
-has used non-original or non-specific spare parts for the rake.
B6 Pictogrames
In addition to the indications contained in this manual, adhesive labels or pictograms that illustrate the safety regulations to be respected are applied in the front of
the machinery to help operators. The labels, according to the regulation, vary in shape and colour.
Therefore, those who work should know that the circular signals indicate an obligation (light blue and white) or a ban (red, white and black), while the triangular
shape indicates a hazard (yellow and black). Other rectangular labels, apart from containing the danger or prohibition signals, provide additional information on
safety standards to be met.
The rules set out by the labels, placed on hay rake are:
1. Hooking or entanglement risk. With the arms rotation, the teeth may hang clothes or other objects worn by staff;
2. Danger of flying objects. With the arms rotation the teeth could pick up and throw objects form the working site. Minimum safety distance m.10;
3. Obligation of reading the use and maintenance manual;
4. No stopping or transit. It is prohibited to others than authorized personnel to stop or transit in the hay rake proximity, when it is running. Remain at a safe
distance (m. 10). When the machinery is in transport configuration, pay close attention to the teeth. Being tall and bulging they could become a danger to
anyone transiting in the machinery proximity;

Use and maintenance manual
14 - SAFETY
IMPORTANT
The pictograms and instruction labels must
necessarily be replaced before they become
illegible. If this happens, the operator cannot use
the equipment until a new label is applied. Similarly
it is utterly forbidden to remove the pictograms or
instruction labels placed on the wheel rake. In any
circumstances in which this occurs the
manufacturer disclaims all responsibility because
the equipment would not meet the safety standards
with which it was designed and manufactured.
B7 Noise and vibrations
The wheel rake produces little noise other than that of
its moving mechanical parts and has no motor. It is
likely to be much quieter than the tractor to which it is
hitched. The operator does not therefore need any
acoustic protection (ear plugs, muffs, etc.). As for the
noise produced by the tractor, you are advised to
consult the respective use and maintenance manual.
The vibrations produced by the equipment coming to
the operator on the tractor have low intensity and a low
frequency according to the levels tolerable by the
human beings.

INSTALLATION
C1 Rake assembly
As already mentioned, the equipment is delivered entirely disassembled. Detailed instructions allow the customer to assemble it fast and easily. For this operation it
is necessary to place the rake on a flat surface. Operators must be aware of all safety rules for the installation and carefully perform the operation.
Once the rake is assembled, install it to the tractor.
C2 Installation to tractor
The equipment can be installed to any agricultural tractor. For this, the operator must slowly near the tractor to the rake, positioning it in order to facilitate the
centring.
IMPORTANT
The alignment of the holes of the tractor's coupling with
those of the hay rake (operation defined centering), must
be carefully and cautiously carried out.
When the tractor is very near to the rake connections (1),
raise the rake connection so that it coincides with the
tractor one. Once it is attached, insert the locking pin (2)
into the holes of the connections, as shown in figure, and
then fasten it using the corresponding pin or safety pin
(3).
WARNING
After the first installation to the tractor, verify that the
wheel hubs result greased and, if necessary, do it. - After the first installation to the tractor, grease the
wheel hubs in accordance with the task times and methods indicated in the chap. Maintenance.
C3 Hydraulic connections
The movement of the hay wheel (lifting and lowering), and in the hydraulic version the alignment of the rear wheel to
the tractor, are executed through hydraulic jacks. These jacks are powered by the auxiliary hydraulic system of the
tractor by means of pipes with fast couplings, and therefore controlled by the corresponding lever in the cabin.
Therefore, you cannot perform these functions until the jack pipes are connected (with quick couplings, as shown in
the figure) to the corresponding connectors auxiliary system of the tractor.

16 - INSTALLATION
C4 Removal from tractor
For the hay rake removal from the tractor follow the instructions contained in the previous paragraph, in reverse order. First remove the hydraulic pipes then the
equipment.
C5 Storing the hay rake
The Client must provide, within his company, the machinery storage area, making sure it has a wide and easy access. For the hay rake storing, the following
interventions are needed:
-park the machinery (in transport configuration) in a safe and secluded area, on a flat and solid surface;
-remove the tractor from the hay tedder, following the instructions in the C4 paragraph;
-protect the equipment with a cloth.

OPERATING AND USE
D1 Preliminary information
An appropriate and optimal use of the hay rake is needed not only to prevent damage and/or injury, but is the only way to get the same high performance and to
discover its true potential and performance.
Remember that the rake must be used by trained adult personnel knowledgeable of the instructions in this manual and on the labels. Consequently, he must know
perfectly the instructions in this manual, all those reported on the adhesive labels and all the safety regulations for his and others' safety and to safeguard the
machinery.
Before each start-up of the tractor, it is important to scrupulously follow the precautions described in paragraphs B3, B4 and B5 and the instructions below:
•Ensure all the parts of the rake are in their intended position and are securely fitted;
•Ensure the rake is fitted properly to the tractor;
•Check efficiency of all the protection devices;
•Carry out the daily maintenance checks described in the relative paragraph. Note: should the rake be returned to service after a long period of inactivity, ensure it
has been properly maintained and that it has not been damaged in any way by poor weather or storage conditions.
D2 Functioning and Use

Use and maintenance manual
OPERATING AND USE - 19
The rake must be taken to the work area in keeping with the instructions in paragraph B2 “Handling and Transportation”.
The tractor driver is personally responsible for the general procedure of conveying the rake and must therefore prepare the rake for
transportation as follows:
•Firstly, the operator must remove any safety devices that need to be removed for transportation, i.e. The jacks' stop devices for
hay wheel movements (A):
-remove the safety pin to free the device, lift the latter from the jack rod and move it further back, as shown in the
illustration. Re-fasten the device with the safety pin (do one side at a time);
•always on this side of the equipment, the operator remove the handle pin (B) from its housing in order to unlock the rotation of
the rear wheel from the transport or stop position;
•from the cab, the operator first unlocks the mechanical lock Cfrom the working angle plate mobile frame (D) and at the same time he goes with the tractor in
reverse. The opening of the mobile frame is made by the placing of the mechanical lock in the housings on the relating plate D. A complete opening
corresponds to the last external housing on the plate. Therefore, depending on the type of work he has to do, the operator will release the mechanical lock in
the corresponding housing. With the string no longer pulled, the lock is automatically located in the relating housing, hooking the plate and blocking the mobile
frame in the selected working position;
•after the opening of the mobile frame (E), with the equipment in working configuration, the rear wheel will be aligned (manually or hydraulically) to the tractor
and locked by inserting the handle pin in its housing (F) and, on the plate below, in the relating hole;

20 - OPERATING AND USE
•Finally, the operator controls the lowering of the hay wheels (G).
At this time, the rake is ready to operate. The rake's functioning is very simple because, as it is installed on the tractor, it is dragged by it in its forward direction. In
this way, the raked wheels brush against the ground for the dragging effect, and because of the rotary movement the teeth will collect the cut forage.
The rake working configuration, as shown in figure, allows you to harvest the cut forage and collect it into a central windrow. This windrow, which can have a 6
metres width, facilitates the working process and reduces the final costs.
IMPORTANT
Remember that the tractor must proceed in a straight line. For direction changes see section D3.
Even for short stops, the operator must always:
-switch off the engine of the tractor
-engage the parking brake
-remove the key from the dashboard.
At the end of the work, put the rake into the transport configuration before moving.
