and the principles of connecting and transporting it on public roads. Driving of the tractor with
the rotary tedder connected is forbidden during the period of limited visibility.
When loading and unloading the tedder, comply with the general principles of workplace
health and safety for reloading work. Persons operating reloading equipment must have the
required permissions to use these devices.
The tedder should be attached to the lifting equipment in places designed for this purpose
(FIGURE 1.2), i.e. to the transport eyes (4) and to the central connector pin (5). The fastening
points are marked with an information sticker. It is recommended that for the time of moving
and transporting the tedder is set to the transport position, i.e. the right (1) and left (2) tedder
module should be lifted up, and the supports (3) lowered downwards. (see "CHAPTER 4.3:
TRANSPORT RUN "). In the event that ropes or belts of reloading devices can catch on
protruding parts of the machine placed in the transport position, they must also be
dismantled. When lifting the tedder, be especially careful due to the possibility of tilting the

The machine should be securely attached to the platform of the means of transport with the
use of belts or chains equipped with a tensioning mechanism. The securing measures must
have a valid safety certificate. Chocks or other elements without sharp edges should be
placed under the tedder wheels to prevent it from rolling. Chocks must be attached to the
vehicle's platform. Be especially careful when lifting the machine. During reloading work,
particular care should be taken not to damage the tedder's fittings and the paint coating.
CAUTION
Nobody s allowed to stay n the maneuver ng area when transferr ng the rotary tedder to
another means of transport.

1.6 THREAT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
A hydraulic oil leak is a direct threat to the natural environment because of its limited
biodegradability. When carrying out maintenance and repair work where there is a risk of
leakage of oil, this work should be carried out in rooms with an oil resistant surface. In the
event of oil leaking into the environment, first of all contain the source of the leak, and then
collect the leaked oil using available means. Collect oil residue with sorbents or mix the oil
with sand, sawdust or other absorbent materials. Collected oil contaminants should be stored
in an airtight and marked container, resistant to hydrocarbons, and then transferred to an oil
waste disposal point. The container should be kept away from heat sources, flammable
materials and food.
It is recommended to store the oil which has been used up or is unsuitable for further use due
to the loss of its properties in its original packaging in the same conditions as described
above.
1.7 WITHDRAWAL FROM USE
If the user decides to withdraw the machine from use, comply with the provisions in force in
the given country regarding withdrawal from use and recycling of machines withdrawn from
use.
Before dismantling the machine, the oil from the hydraulic system and gear must be
completely removed. The location of the drain plugs and the method of removing oil are
described in Chapter 5.
In the event of parts being replaced, worn or damaged parts should be taken to a recycling
centre. Used oil as well as rubber or plastic elements should be taken to plants dealing with
the utilization of this type of waste.
CAUTION
Dur ng d sassembly, use appropr ate tools and use personal protect ve equ pment, .e.
protect ve cloth ng, footwear, gloves, glasses, etc.
