WARRANTY MAINTENANCE SAFTEY
Rata Equipment warrants new products sold by it, to be free from defects in
material and workmanship for a period of 12 months after the date of purchase
to the initial user. This warranty is for the replacement or repair of any part
found to be defective during the warranty period. This warranty only applies to
new Rata products.
If the product is purchased for commercial use or hire gain, then the warranty is
reduced to three months.
Should the product fail as a result of a fault in material or sub-standard
workmanship by the manufacturer within the warranty period then Rata
Equipment will agree to repair this product subject to the conditions of this
warranty.
This warranty excludes any transport costs or damage and excludes all normal
maintenance costs.
Rata Equipment will not pay for mileage, freight, courier costs, oil, grease or
any other expendable materials.
As the use of the Rata product is outside our control, Rata Equipment accepts
no liability for lost earnings or down time directly or indirectly caused by the
machines performance.
Replacement parts provided under the terms of this warranty are covered for
the remainder of the warranty period applicable to the product in which they
were installed as if such parts were original components of that product.
No warranty work is to be started without rst getting approval and following
the correct warranty procedures as set out by Rata Equipment. Rata Equipment
will not under any circumstances pay for or repair any damage caused by
misuse or neglect of any machine.

Delivery
Carefully check the entire machine for transit damage and report any problems
immediately. There may be some sub-assembly required before use.
Maintenance and Lubrication
Take care to keep the oor area clean when performing maintenance
to the machine. Help protect our environment and prevent injuries
from falls by cleaning up any spilled or leaking uids with absorbent
products. Take care to dispose of contaminated rags or absorbents
in accordance with your local environmental regulations. Put away
tools and roll up any air lines or electrical cords that were used when
making repairs to the equipment and dispose of scrap materials or
worn out parts in an appropriate manner.
Never crawl under the machine to make repairs or adjustments
or replace feet or shares, unless you have properly blocked and
supported the Panerazer frame. The Panerazer must be secured
in a xed position in order to prevent it from moving or falling
before making any attempt to work underneath. Use suitable shop
stands or lifting devices that can support the entire weight of the
impliment. Never use cement blocks, bricks, hollow tiles or other
props that may crumble or collapse under continuous load.
Wear gloves when changing points and/or tines as the edges can
become extremely sharp when worn.
Regularly check all nuts and bolts for tightness and secure if loose.
Replace worn out or damaged machine components.
Establish a good routine for regular inspection, lubrication and
maintenance in order to keep the machine in good operating
condition.

SETTING UP THE MACHINE TROUBLESHOOTING
FAULT REASON REMEDY
Not doing a tidy nish on
pasture
Coulters/skeiths are out
of line with the legs
Alter coulters/skeiths to
ensure they cut in the
same line as the leg
Machine won’t penetrate
the ground
Top link too long Shorten top link length
Machine won’t stay in the
ground
2 point linkage arms are
too low on the machine
Lift 2 point linkage arms
up to next hole on
machine
Using and setting up the machine
1. Ensure machine is level.
2. Ensure coulters/skeiths (if tted) are the correct height and line up with the
legs.
3. Ensure 2 point linkage arms are level when in operating position.
4. Adjust the turnbuckles on the roller or crumbler (if tted) to a length that
gives the desired depth. If the skieths are now too low (more than 3.5
inches of penetration into the ground) these need to be adjusted upwards.
5. Do not turn sharply when operating, damage to the skieths will occur.
6. Do not exceed 12km/h when using machine in the ground. Optimum
speed is between 4-7km/h depending on ground conditions.
7. Be aware of your surroundings, know the lay of your irrigation pipes to
prevent them being pulled up when subsoiling!
