1.1 Intended use
The rotary rake is intended for raking grass hay and straw crops on the
ground.
The rotary rake is solely constructed for usual work in agriculture.
The rotary rake should only be connected to a tractor and driven by the PTO
of the tractor.
Any other use is regarded as not intended. The manufacturer is not
responsible for any damage resulting from such use, the user bears that risk.
Intended use also implies that the instructions and rules prescribed by the
manufacturer are observed.
The rotary rake should only be used, maintained and repaired by persons
who, through relevant instructions and after reading the instruction manual,
are familiar with the machine and, in particular, are informed of possible
dangers.
The following safety instructions as well as common rules concerning

area of the machine with danger of personal injury or damage to objects.
Any use beyond the intended use is regarded as foreseeable misuse.
1.3 General safety instructions
The following is a brief description of the measures, which should be a matter of
common knowledge to the operator.
1. Always disengage the PTO drive shaft, activate the parking brake and stop the
tractor engine before you
- lubricate the machine,
- clean the machine,
- maintain the machine.
- adjust the machine.
2. Always use the transport safety device and the stop valves of the lifting
cylinder during transport.
3. Never work under a raised rotor unless it is secured by means of stop blocks
or other mechanical securing device.
4. Always block the tractor wheels before working on the machine.
5. Never start the tractor until all persons are safely away from the machine.
6. Make sure that all tools have been removed from the machine before starting
the tractor.
