TRAILED ROTARY TEDDER
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
❑Front axis of the tractor should be weighted to keep the balance. If need be, use front wheel weights.
❑Tedder should not be operated when the tractor-tedder set is not balanced.
❑Any operation with the hydraulic lift lever should be done from the operator’s seat; DO NOT move
the lever from outside of the 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.
WARNING!
Any operations related to service and repair works on the tedder should be
conducted with the tractor drive off, and all rotating parts in the complete
standstill.
WARNING!
Be certain that children and animals are at a safe distance away from the
machine. Never allow anyone to ride on a machine or tractor.
❑When the tedder is lifted for repair on the 3-point linkage, it should be secured against falling by a
mechanical support or by chain.
❑When the parts of the tedder need replacement, use only the original spare parts according to spare
parts list.
❑The bolts and other fasteners have to be periodically checked and, if necessary, tightened or
replaced. DO NOT work with damaged or worn fasteners.
❑Locking pawl line should be mounted with relevant tolerance in the tractor cabin.
❑Never start the tedder when it is lifted.
❑Never lift the tedder on tractor linkage when the drive is on and the rotors are rotating.
❑When switching from working to transport position unmount the whole or at least one end (from
tractor’s PTO) of PTO shaft.
❑During operation of the tedder the Regulation of the Farm Ministry and Food Economy from 12-01-
1998 dealing with safety and hygiene during the operation of tractors, machinery, tools and
equipment used for farming (Dz. U. Nr 12/98 poz. 51), should be observed.
❑When operating the tedder, the tractor should always be equipped with the cabin.
❑Never start the tedder in transport position.
❑Never start the tedder if people or animals are in the proximity of the tedder.
❑Always comply with safety decals describing hazards, and warning signs placed on the machine.
❑Before you start the tractor make sure that every other drives are turned off and the levers steering
hydraulics are in neutral position.
❑Never leave the tractor’s engine running without supervision. Before you leave the tractor, turn off
the engine and put off the key from tractor’s ignition switch.
❑It is forbidden to operate the tedder when driving backwards.
❑Never get on the tedder.
❑Never stand between tractor and tedder, before tractor-tedder set is secured against moving by the
tractor’s brake.
❑Pay particular attention to PTO shaft’s guards and tedder’s and tractor’s spline shaft guards. Never
work with damaged guards.

❑Hydraulic hoses should be periodically checked and if any damage occur or they expire, replace
with new ones. Expiry period should not exceed 5 years.
❑Never use scotch tape to repair hydraulic hoses.
❑When connecting hydraulic hoses to tractor’s hydraulic connectors make sure, that either tractor’s
or tedder’s hydraulic system is without pressure.
❑When operating hydraulic system, always wear protective gloves and glasses. Leaking under
pressure hydraulic oil (16 MPa) may permeate through the skin and cause infection. If it happens,
immediately visit a doctor.
❑The tedder should be stored under roofed places and in the way that it will not harm people or
animals.
❑Do not leave agricultural machinery on slopes or other descents without providing protection
against its free runaway.
❑Due to risk of tipping, it is not permissible to fold rotors for work on cants (across the slope). Setting
the machine should be performed on an even ground or upwards/down the slope.
❑When operating over a stony field or nearby roads there exists a risk of throwing out stones or other
objects, which may pose a danger for passing-by vehicles on the road or for passers-by. Therefore
keep the safe distance.
❑Rotating spring tines and other rotary elements present a danger to health and life of persons
present nearby the machine. Do not touch any moving machine parts.
❑The operator is not allowed to leave the tractor while driving.
❑Prior to approaching operation with the machine, make sure that all safety guards are not damaged
and fitted in place.
❑Check pressure in the machine's wheels regularly.
❑In the event of any break in the equipment operation, turn off the drive.
❑While making repairs the machine must be stopped.
❑Prior to performing any maintenance works, assembly, disassembly, parking set the machine onto
a stable ground and protect against unintentional shifting.
❑When cleaning the machine, use personal protective equipment for health protection.
❑In case of a fatal failure, stop the machine's drive, turn the tractor's engine off and take out the
ignition key. Then call for technical service, and if an accident (in this case: road accident) occurs,
respect first aid rules and contact responsible authorities.
❑Machine should be kept clean, so as to avoid danger of fire.
4.2. Qualifications of operator
To provide safe machine operation each person being the machine operator must meet the following
requirements:
❑Operator should hold driving license, have ability to drive vehicles safely and know road traffic rules.
❑Operator must be in proper physical condition to be able to operate the machine.
❑Operator must not be under the influence of alcohol, drugs and medicines, which all have influence
on vehicle driving and machine operation.
❑Operator should be familiarized with this manual and follow its provisions.
❑Operator should be familiar with working principles of both the vehicle and the machine, and be able
to recognize and avoid hazards resulting from operation of the aggregate.

4.3. Conditions of connecting tedder with vehicle
❑Prior to the mounting operation, check whether the vehicle's and the tedder's hitch categories are
compatible and make sure that vehicle's hitch load is adequate for the machine aggregated.
❑When mounting the machine, examine technical condition of the tedder's hitch assembly.
❑Use only genuine pins and cotters to mount the tedder on a vehicle.
4.4. Transport
❑Before transporting the tedder make sure that the support leg is lifted and protected.
❑Before transporting the tedder make sure that the locking pawls are properly latched in the transport
position.
❑Every position change of the tedder can only be done when there is nobody around (pay particular
attention to children).
❑When driving on public roads, the tedder should be equipped with warning plates with luminous and
reflecting elements, and a warning triangle for a slow driving vehicle.
❑During transport always put the tedder to transport position. See chapter 5.3.
❑Before putting the tedder to transport position make sure, that the tractor’s PTO is turned off and
all the rotating parts have come to complete standstill.
❑Driving speed should always be adjusted to road conditions and local traffic regulations.
❑Permissible speed is 30 km/h and it cannot be exceeded.
4.4.1. Putting the machine onto another vehicle for transport
The driver and the carrier are responsible for tedder’s transport safety. Equipment and parts must be
secured during transport.
To put the tedder onto another vehicle in a safe way, please obey the following rules:
❑seize the tedder by any lifting devices only in the places indicated by the hook sign,
❑for tedder lifting use only lifting devices with hoisting capacity bigger than tedder’s weight shown
in data plate. It also concerns ropes and chains used for lifting,
❑transport belts, belt suspensions, ropes cannot be damaged. Whenever damages to these parts are
spotted replace these with new ones,
❑when mounting slings, chains, handles etc. always pay attention to setting the machine's center of
gravity properly (Fig. 5),
❑to catch machines, pick 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°,
❑collapsible parts should be blocked in transport position,
❑during putting the tedder onto another vehicle it is forbidden for anybody to remain in transport
area,
❑on the vehicle’s trailer the machine should be secured against moving.
WARNING!
Securing maneuvering area and transport of the tedder is the responsibility of a
person who does it.
