1.5 TRANSPORT
To save space, the rotary rake is partially disassembled for shipment. Before the first start-
up, it should be assembled in accordance with appendix A "FIRST ASSEMBLY MANUAL" to
prepare it for normal operation.
NOTE
When transporting independently, the user must carefully read this Operator Manual and
observe all its instructions.
When being transported on a motor vehicle the rotary rake must be mounted on the
vehicle's platform in accordance ith the transport safety requirements. The driver of the
vehicle should use extreme caution hile driving. This is due to the vehicle's centre of
gravity shifting up ards hen the machine is loaded.
The machine is delivered to the user on a transport vehicle. Transport of the rotary rake is
permissible connected to a tractor provided the tractor driver familiarises himself with the
machine's Operator Manual and particularly with information concerning safety and principles
of connection and transport of tedder on public roads. Do NOT drive the tractor with rotary
rake connected when visibility is limited.
When loading and unloading ready to work rotary rake, follow the general health and safety
regulations for reloading work. Persons operating reloading equipment must have the
qualifications required to operate these machines.
The rotary rake should be attached to lifting equipment in places shown on figure (1.2), i.e. to
transport lugs. Securing point is marked with information decal.
During reloading and transport, the rotary rake should be set in transport position, i.e. right
side raking assembly (1) and left side raking assembly (2) must be raised, and parking stand
(3) must be lowered - figure (1.2). It is recommended that during transport of the machine the
raking arms are dismantled. In the event that cable or belt of transloading equipment may be
caught by protruding rake elements placed in transport position, dismantle them. When lifting
the machine take special care to avoid tipping over the machine and the risk of injuries from
protruding parts.

FIGURE 1.4 Location of centre of gravity of the ZKP690 in transport position.
The machine should be firmly secured on the transport vehicle platform with belts or chains
equipped with a tensioning mechanism. The fastening equipment used must have a valid
safety certificate. Chocks or other objects without sharp edges should be placed under the
wheels of the rotary rake to prevent it from rolling. The chocks must be fixed to the platform
of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT
When shipped by road on a motor vehicle the machine must be mounted on the vehicle's
platform in accordance ith the safety requirements and regulations.
Use only certified and technically reliable securing measures. Carefully read the
information contained in the Operator Manuals for the given securing measures.
Do NOT secure lifting slings or any types of securing elements to hydraulic cylinders.
During reloading work, take special care not to damage any accessories or paint finish. The
tare weight of the rotary rake in condition ready for travel is given in table (3.1).
DANGER
Incorrect use of securing measures may cause an accident.
Persons must NOT be present in the manoeuvring zone during transferring the machine
to another means of transport.
