chine and it
is
considered integral part of
the machine itself.
This machine
can

The manual, or a copy
of
it, must always
be

the machine to
be
consulted
by
the
user.
Pay
attention to this symbol;
it
indicates the most dangerous
operations
and
situations.
~This
symbol points out a note or
~a
very important warning.
Machine identification
The machine
is
identified
by
the data
which are indicated
in
the label.
The label
is
stuck

& Avoid working whilst people,
especially children and pets, are
nearby.
Keep
in
mind that the
operator
is
responsible for accidents to
people
and
to their property.
The user must know the characteristics
and
the safety procedures

the ma-
chine.
The accident prevention rules and any
other requirement of safety and
of
occu-
pational medicine must always
be
ob-
served.
The manufacturer declines any re-
sponsibility
for
possible damages
deriving from any arbitrary change

USE
OF
THE
MACHINE
Checks
and
advice before starting
to
work
The machine hooks directly to the three
points
of
the tractor hydraulic lift.
~
Every
pin
must
be
fixed with grip
~clips
to avoid the unhooking.
Fasten
the wheel which
is
near
the connection (the third wheel that
is
used
as
a support with unhooked ma-
chine)
in
high position, far from the
ground.
Connect the cardan shaft when the trac-
tor
is
off
and
the power take-off
is
uncon-
nected; control the strength
of
the
pins
which
do
not permit the unhooking.
The power take-off
of
the tractor must
not exceed the
speed
indicated
on
the
machine
(R.P.M.
max./ 1').
Make
sure the cardan shaft
is
open
no
less
than 4
em
in
maximum closing posi-
tion;
in
case
of
maximum extension, the
two parts of the cardan shaft must over-
lap
no
less
than
15
em
(fig. 4).
The
controls
-
each
one
of
the supporting wheel
has
got a lever for the height adjustment
above ground level
on
the right or left
side
of
the machine (fig. 5).
-the adjustable tie-rod
of
the third point
regulates the position
of
the comb
in
the
movement direction. Anyway, the comb
must
be
parallel to the ground (fig. 6).

for
the user
-Hay
rake-
Position the wheel levers at the
same
height until the combs
skim
the ground.
Adjust the lateral
rake
to the width
you
want (fig. 7).
Avoid stopping near the row when the
combs are moving;
if
you
need
to, lift
up
the hydraulic lift.
-Tedder-
Position the wheel levers
so
that the
rna-
'
chine results higher
(3
or 4 holes)
on
the
side
of
the hay unloading (fig. 8).
Remove
the lateral rake.
c)
The maximum advancing
speed
is
15
Km/h.

Adjustments
for
the use
c)
Before starting to work, control
that the teeth are
in
good condi-
tion and well fixed.
In
case
of
breaking
of
some
teeth,
you
must
buy
the original spare parts (code
701).
Often control the plastic bearings
and
the
bushings which drag the combs: these
parts, which are subjected to wear and
tear, must
be
replaced when their mini-
mum thickness
is
4 mm.
Their replacement, like
any
operation
on
Fig.

the V-belts, must
be
entrusted to skilled
workers.
c)
Make
sure that the protective
sheets are correctly fixed after
each
operation.

on
the comb which carries
the teeth; then fasten the nut strongly.
ExtraordinarY maintenance
Any
operation
of
extraordinary mainte-
nance must
be
carried out
by
skilled
workers and it consists
on
the control
of
the V-belt conditions
and
also,
if
neces-
sary,
on
the tightness or replacement
of
the belts,
on
the check
of
wear
and
tear
of
plastic parts with possible replacement
of
these last
if
their thickness
is
inferior to
4mm.
INACTIVITY
Setting
for
a stop
Clean
the machine when
it
is
unhooked
from the tractor and remove possible
hay,
remnants
and
dust, then
do
the opera-
tions
of
ordinary maintenance.
Cover
the points
of
the teeth which are
turned
up
with the proper accident pre-
ventive protections the machine
is
provid-
ed
with (fig. 11).
Block
the machine to avoid displacements
caused
by
accidental collisions.
The user will benefit from finding the ma-
chine
in
perfect conditions when
he
starts
working again.
Restarting
Control the tyre pressure (2,5 bar)
and
remove the protections from the teeth.
MACHINE
TRANSPORT
The machine
can
easily
be
lifted
by
a
crane through two belts, type- tested for
its weight, which must
be
placed, the first
on
the three point connection
and
the
other
on
the connection longitudinal
