4.1. General safety rules and regulations
The following descriptions are for your safety: They must therefore be read
carefully and applied every time you use the machine.
 The machine has been designed for use by one single operator.
 When using, servicing, repairing, moving or storing the machine, the operator must wear safety
footwear, safety gloves plus ear protection and dusk mask if necessary.
 During use, the machine may give rise to dust, especially if the soil is dry. You are advised to
use a tractor with a cab fitted with filters in the ventilation system. Failing this, wear a dust
mask with filter to protect your respiratory tract.
 Front axis of the tractor should be weighted to keep the balance. If need be, use front wheel
weights.
 In order to keep steering conditions, impact on front axis should be at least 20% of the complete
tractor.
 Be extremely careful whenever using hydraulic lift lever or buttons. Any operation with
hydraulic lift lever should be done from operator’s seat; DO NOT move the lever from outside
of a tractor.
 In case of tractors equipped with EHR, operating with hydraulic lift is done by the buttons
mounted outside the tractor’s cabin. When operating be extremely careful.
 When switching from raking to transport position, remove the entire PTO shaft or at least one
end of the shaft from the tractor’s PTO so it cannot turn.
 When attaching the rake to a tractor, the operator should wear protective gloves.
 DO NOT operate the rake unless all safety guards are in place and operational. In addition, any
damaged protective aprons should be replaced with a new one.
 Start raking only when tractor’s PTO reaches its normal 1000 rpm. Do not exceed 1050 PTO
rpm.
 No person (except operator) should stand within danger area which is a minimum of 170' from
any operating part, especially when operating near roads and in areas with stones and other
debris. Be certain that children and animals are at a safe distance away from the machine.
IMPORTANT: Maintenance and adjustment should ONLY be done after the following has
occurred:
 tractor’s engine has been stopped and ignition key has been taken out,
 all rotating parts have come to complete standstill (NOTE: raking tines will rotate for
several minutes after engine is turned off),
 the rotor is on the ground, and
 Never tamper with or remove safety devices on the machine or make them inoperable.
 Before starting work and periodically thereafter, replace any damaged, missing and/or worn
tines.

4.2. Transport
The lifting, handling and transporting operations can be very dangerous unless they are carried
out with the utmost caution. Have all persons not involved in the actual work move away from
the area and limit the zone where the operations are to be carried out. Also make sure that the
area in which the operations take place is clear and that there is a sufficient escape route, i.e. a
free, safe zone to which the operators can quickly move if the load should fall.
The safety hooks and ropes used to lift the machine must be of an adequate carrying capacity
To minimize the risk of serious injury or death, do the following:
 When the machine is converted from the transport position to the work position and vice versa,
you could be pinched or crushed by some of its parts. Take extra care when carrying out these
maneuvers and have all persons keep well clear of the danger zone.
 Do not change position of the rake until there are no people or animals around (pay particular
attention to children).
 While transporting the rake, put a warning plate with combined lights and reflectors and
warning triangle on the rake.
 During transport, always put the rake in its proper and safe transport position. See section 5.3.
 Before putting the rake in transport position, make sure that the tractor’s PTO is turned off and
all rotating parts have come to a complete stop.
 Do not drive over 25 km/h (15 mph). Drive slower if road conditions are poor, especially on
irregular surfaces or steep slopes.
 The behavior of the tractor on the road, such as its turning and braking capacities, are affected
by the implements mounted.
 When driving on the road after work, check to make sure that the tires and soil working tools
are clean to prevent the road surface from becoming dirty.
4.2.1. Putting the rake onto another vehicle for transport
The driver and the carrier are responsible for the rake’s transport safety. Equipment and
parts must be secured during transport. To put the rake onto another vehicle in a safe way, please
obey the following rules.
 Transport should be done by qualified and specifically trained personnel,
 Grab the rake by any lifting device only in places indicated by hook sign.
 For rake lifting, use only lifting devices with hoisting capacity larger than rake’s weight shown
in data plate. This also applies to ropes and chains used for lifting,
 Do not lift if transport belts, belt suspensions, ropes are damaged. Whenever damage to these
parts occurs, replace with new ones,
 When mounting slings, chains, handles etc., always set the machine's center of gravity properly,
 To safely support the machine, use ropes of adequate length so that the angle between them is
no greater than 120°, and the angle between the strand and the vertical is no greater than 60°,
 Lift the rake with the utmost caution and move it slowly,
 No one should be within the range of action of the lifting equipment when any transporting
operations are being carried out

WARNING:
Driving speed should be adjusted to current road conditions. Too high
a transport speed when driving on uneven ground poses risk of bending
gear's vertical axis.
5.3. Preparing the rake for transport on public roads
WARNING:
Legal requirements for transport on public roads may differ from state to state.
Check your location's requirements and comply .
To comply with safety precautions concerning transport on the public roads the rake should
be equipped with the following devices:
 portable warning light plates to be mounted on both sides of rake’s top guard in their holders
(see Fig. 24) The panel consists of warning plate with combined lamp mounted (parking,
stop lights and driving direction) and with red reflectors facing the rear and white light on
the front.
5.4. Mounting PTO shaft
PTO shaft’s end with overrunning clutch should be mounted on rake’s side. When
connecting PTO shaft between tractor and rake make sure that external guard tube of the shaft is on
the tractor’s side. The PTO shaft plastic guards have to be secured by fastening their small chains to
immovable parts of tractor and rake. The PTO shaft must operate at the lowest possible angle. This
will ensure that both shaft and the machine last as long as possible.
Prior to operating, examine and adjust length of PTO shaft, which is designed to mount
machine on tractor. In some cases it is possible, that the shaft is too long and therefore needs to be
shortened, so that there is adequate tolerance for the shortest possible distance between tractor’s
shaft Oand machine’s shaft P.
Shaft length should be adjusted individually for tractor, on which the machine is mounted.

Fig. 15. Distance between tractor’s PTO shaft and machine’s drive shaft
In order to determine minimal shaft length:
 set aggregated rake in working position, / (by means of 3-point linkage, adjust connector end of
machine’s PTO Pon the most approximate height, on which tractor’s PTO is mounted)
 take measurement of distance between two shafts as provided on Fig. 15 and Fig. 16,
 next additionally distract 11.8"from the resulting measurement in order to keep tolerance and
shorten the shaft for this particular length (Fig. 17). Information on proper shortening of shafts
is provided in item 5.5 herein, on decal N-149 placed on the machine and also found in shaft’s
manual provided by its manufacturer.
Fig. 16. Properly measured length
As a result of following the abovementioned instructions, minimal length of PTO shaft is
obtained, and then it can be used safely to mount the machine on the tractor.
