and (K), and onto the connecting frame (S) using the screw (Q) (M12x45).
Figure 3.
Page 14
Tine bracket assembly (Figure 1)
Insert the tine bracket (S) into the oscillating
part of the rotor (L) and secure it using two
spring bolts (G) (Ø 12x50 and Ø 7x60).
IMPORTANT: Place the spring bolts so that
the slots create a 180º angle and that the
direction of the slot is opposite to the direction
of rotor rotation, as shown in Figure 1.
Spring tine assembly (Figure 2)
The spring tines (A) are attached under the
supports (E) so that the tine arms are tilted
opposite to the direction of rotation of the tine
brackets (see directional arrow).
The spring tines are secured to the supports
using the screw (B) (M12x65), self-locking nut
(G) (M12), washer (C) (Ø 13x35x5), spring
washer (F) and tine holder (D).
Make sure that all parts are properly secured
(see Figure 2).

Swath board assembly (Figure 3)
Place the swath board support (T) inside the U-
profile (U) on the bracket (K) and secure it to
the bracket using the screw (V) (M12x80).
Subsequently, fit the board (Z) onto the support
(T) in one of the three pre-set positions and
attach it to the lower foot (W) using two screws
(X) (M8x55) in the desired position.
The rotary rakes are attached to all tractors
with a standard three-point linkage.
They are attached to category I and II tractors
(according to ISO 730/I and II) with a 34.9 mm
diameter output shaft with six grooves and no.
of revolutions
n = 540 min

.
Each rotary mower has a frame with a three-
point linkage system and a lower link point
diameter of 22 mm and 28 mm.
For category I tractors, the lower link point (Ø
22 mm) must be attached on the inside (in
relation to the third point) and for category II
tractors, the lower link point
(Ø 28 mm) must be attached to the outside (in
relation to the third point).
For category II tractors, the diameter of the third
point pin must be Ø 25 mm.
Using stabiliser chains, secure the rake to
prevent it swinging sideways.
The plate of the third link point has four
openings for adjusting the optimal operational
position.
The machine is carried during transport.

JOINT COUPLING – PTO SHAFT FPM Boljevac
Page 16
It is extremely important to properly adjust the
PTO shaft when attaching the rake to the
tractor. Never allow the universal joints to get
jammed when the machine is raised to its
highest or lowered to its lowest position.
The PTO shaft has a freewheel clutch; make
sure that the clutch side is facing the rake. If
you determine that the PTO shaft is longer and
impossible to attach to the tractor, check the
following points:
1.- When the PTO shaft is fully extended, the
minimum overlap of the PTO shaft tubes must
be kept within 200 mm.
2.- When the PTO shaft is fully retracted, the
end of one tube may not touch the end of the
other tube and the minimum clearance
distance of 20 mm must be provided.
If not provided, both PTO shaft tubes and both
PTO shaft guards must be shortened equally
(see Figures 5 and 6).
Round off any sharp edges (Figure 7) and
clean and lubricate the outer PTO shaft tube
(Figure 8).
Connect the PTO shaft to complete the
operation.
3.- The maximum permissible angle of deflection
of the PTO shaft may not exceed 30 degrees
(Figure 9).
NOTICE: Failure to observe the
basic requirements for PTO shaft
operation may result in a broken PTO
shaft or damage to the rake.
ATTENTION: Be careful when handling
the P TO shaft of the rotary rake.
CAUTION: Never attach the PTO shaft
to tractors with output shafts rotating at
1000 min
-1
or 750 min
-1
.
DANGER: Never remove or allow
the PTO shaft guard to rotate
during operation. Attach the
chain for the PTO shaft guard
in the provided place. Replace damaged
or broken guards with new guards
immediately.

OPERATING SETTINGS FPM Boljevac
Page 17
During the harvesting process, the upper
linkage point on the tedder frame must be in
the free-floating position.
Properly adjusted tines for rake operation
touch the ground (soil) on the front side of the
rake when looking in the driving direction. In
this position, the rotor must be perfectly
horizontal in relation to the ground.
To achieve this, follow the directions below:
- If the tine tips are too far off the ground,
raise the machine using the tractor
hydraulics and unlock the wheels (R) by
unscrewing the screws (N), making
sure you loosen the nut (Q) as shown in
Figure 10. Raise the wheel by one or
two positions to achieve the required
tine setting. Retighten the screw (N).
Do not forget to tighten the locknut (Q)
(Figure 10).
- If the tine tips are too low, lower the
wheels (R) by one or two positions to
achieve optimal harvesting of the hay
and clean the track after raking.
Retighten the screw and the nut as
described above.
- To finely adjust the working height for
hay harvesting, use of the upper
linkage is necessary. This is performed
by shortening or extending the upper
linkage.
- This adjustment operation must be
performed extremely carefully in order
to achieve optimal harvesting (raking).

ROTARY RAKE OPERATION FPM Boljevac
HARVESTING SPEED FPM Boljevac
Page 18
Never operate the rotary rake with a PTO shaft
rpm higher than
540 min
-1
.
Depending on the thickness of the hay
harvested, you can make single or double
swaths with your rotary rake.
To make a double swath, rotate the swath
board into the upper, neutral position, meaning
that the hay harvesting is done without using
the board (Figure 11 and 12).
If the harvesting is unsatisfactory, this can
manifest in two ways as follows:
1.- Poor harvesting with hay remaining in
the middle of the swath (Figure 13).
This is eliminated by shortening the upper
linkage.
2.- Poor harvesting on one side of the
rotary rake (Figure 14).
This is eliminated by extending the upper
linkage. To adjust the harvesting height, adjust
the wheel height.
Choose the rotary rake speed according to the
quality and thickness of the harvested crop, the
configuration of the soil, and so on.
Reduce the harvesting speed under heavy-duty
conditions; however, the actual speed is
estimated by the operator in accordance with
the conditions of use.

SWATH BOARD FPM Boljevac
ROTARY RAKE TRANSPORT FPM Boljevac
Page 19
Side adjustment: 3 board support positions
(T): depending on the hay thickness, extend or
retract the board support.
Height adjustment: 3 board positions (Z):
- Upper position: for harvesting extremely
thick hay or on uneven ground.
- Lower position: for harvesting thin hay,
in order to prevent the hay passing
under the swath board.
Front and rear adjustment: Depending on the
hay thickness, move the board to the front or
back in order to harvest the hay coming from
the side.
Prepare the rotary rake for the transport
position as follows:
- Rotate the swath board support (T) so
that the board is facing up, and fully
retract it into the U-profile (U) so that the
board is covering the machine after
supports (K) and (L) are fitted, as shown
in the figure.
- Unlock the harvesting parts from the tine
brackets and place them in the holder
on the support frame, as shown in the
figure.
- Unlock the brackets (K) and (L) from the
operating position and raise them so
that the locking pin is locked in the lower
position on the brackets.
- Raise the blocks, rotate and lock them
in the position shown in the figure.

Page 20
To park the rotary rake after operation, use the
scotch block (X) to prevent the machine resting
on the operating components (tines). The block
is secured with a spring lock (P). To protect the
PTO shaft grooves from impurities and debris,
put the PTO shaft in its bearing (Q) on the rake
frame, preventing the PTO shaft from resting
against the ground.
NOTE: The spring lock (P) is attached
with a spring holder to prevent
misplacement or loss.
To properly park the rotary rake upon detaching
from the tractor, wooden supports must be
placed under the wheels to prevent movement.
This is particularly important when parking the
machine on a slope.
Lubricate all rotating and sliding parts using
good-quality grease to improve adhesion to
the metal surfaces. Below, grease types from
domestic and foreign manufacturers are
specified that comply with the
JUS B.H3.634 VM-2 specifications NLGI-2.
Mandatory lubrication:
- daily: bearings, rotating and sliding PTO
shaft parts
- every 50 hours of operation: horizontal
rotating rotor assembly carrying the
tines
- as required: swath board support, all
rotating, sliding and articulating joints on
the rotary rake frame structure.
- Replace the oil in the kinematic head,
3.1 litres every 50 hours of operation.
