3. Mounting of the machine after delivery
Mounting of the rotary rake must only be carried out by experts.
The necessary tools and adjustment tools must be at disposal.
After mounting a complete functional test of the machine must be
carried out.
After 5 hours of operation all screw joints must be re-tightened!
The rakes R+420 and R+460 are separated into parts and delivered in a box.
A detailed mounting guide for the machine is supplied. The instructions in this guide
must be observed!
3.1 Mounting of PTO drive shaft
When the machine has been assembled, the PTO shaft can be connected.
The overload clutch must be positioned on the machine side.
The lock-pin on the PTO shaft must be properly engaged in the spline
on the machine’s drive shaft!
3.2 Adjustment of PTO drive shaft
It may be necessary to shorten the PTO shaft from tractor to machine in order to
prevent that it bottoms in the shortest position. On tractors with a short distance from
PTO to link arm connection, the PTO shaft may be too long.
