quality standards. This
manual will help
you
to know better
and
to appreciate the features
of
your ma-
chine

MACHINE
EMPLOYMENT
The machine
is
a hay-rake tedder.
Use
it
only and exclusively for raking
and
ted-
ding
hay
and
cut grass.
The manufacturer declines any responsi-
bility for a different
use
from the de-
scribed one.
Familiarize yourself with the operating
controls and the correct
use
of
the ma-
chine.
~Never
permit children or inexpert
~
to operate your machine.
& 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 of 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
on
the
machine.
&
Do
not get
on
the machine whilst
working, nor have yourself car-
ried
by
it.
ACCIDENT
PREVENTION
MEASURES
Follow the instructions described
on
the
labels stuck
on
the machine.
Q Scour the
area
where the ma-
chine
is
to
be
used
and remove
all foreign matters (stones, wire,
sticks, etc...).
4
Carry out the checks, the operations of
maintenance, adjustment and repair
when the machine
is
not working and
is
unhooked from the tractor.
In
case
of
road haulage, the highway
code rules have to
be
observed.
& Danger through rotating parts!
It
is
absolutely forbidden to take
away
or
to damage the guards
and
to
use
the machine without them.
& Danger through thrown objects!
The machine
can
throw objects
or stones that
may
lie
on
the
ground.
A
It
is
forbidden to stay within the
~
working radius
of
10
m.
&
Do
not carry out operations of
cleaning or maintenance with
engine on, nor with connected
power take-off.
& While working
in
presence
of
dust, wear a mask
and
glasses to
protect your throat and
eyes
if
your tractor
is
lacking a cabin.
The acoustic pressure level
is
inferior to
70
dB.
The safety signals are (fig. 2):
A= Before the
use
of
the machine,
read
the manual.
B=
Danger through thrown objects;
keep
the safety distance.
C=
Danger through drive belts;
do
not
take away the guards with machine
on.
D= Turn
off
the engine and take away the
key
before any operation
of
repair
and
maintenance.
The corresponding labels are stuck
on
the
machine
in
the indicated places. (fig. 3)
These signals must always
be
visible and,
when lost or illegible, they have to
be
replaced with original ones.

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 supporting foot, which
is
near the connection,
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 clamp 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).

Gwde
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 wheels
so
that the machine
results higher
(3
or 4
em)
on
the
side
of
the hay unloading (fig. 8).
IW
I
Remove
the lateral rake.
¢The
maximum
speed
of
advance
is
15
Km/h.

Adjustments
for
the use
¢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
818).
Often control the plastic bearings
and
the
bushings which drag the combs: these d
parts, which are subjected to wear and I
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.
¢Make
sure that the protective
sheets are correctly fixed after
each
operation.

MAINTENANCE
Periodicalmaintenance
Any
maintenance operation must
be
car-
ried out
by
qualified workers according to
what
is
written
in
this manual.
~
When
you have to carry out
an
~
operation
of
maintenance,
you
must turn
off
the tractor engine
and
disconnect the power take-off.
Only suitable tools must
be
used
~
and
they have to
be
in
good con-
~dition.
Often grease (at least every 8
hours
of
work) the parts which are pro-
vided with grease
cups
located near the
wheel axles (fig. 9).
~
Never grease the belts and the
~plastic
parts!
Control that the thickness
of
the
plastic parts
is
superior to 4 mm.
Control the tyre pressure (2,5 bar).
Teeth replacement
To
replace a couple
of
teeth (code 818)
you
must loosen the nut (code 133) 8

which locks the connecting tang (fig. 10).
Replace
the new couple
of
teeth and take
care
of
the perfect joint between the tang
and the seat
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
frame members
of
the wheels (fig. 12).
