1 MOUNTED SIDE-DELIVERY RAKES:
RP/4-RP/5-RP/6-RP/8-RP/10-RP/12.
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual includes full instructions for a correct use and maintenance of the machinery, and the recom-
mended spare parts list.
In order to prevent any possible damage of the machine and/or the operator(s) you are kindly requested to
go through this manual for a proper knowledge of the assembly of the implements, their use on the field, and
their maintenance. If any doubt, please contact your local dealer or distributor.
Should the machine be re-sold, you are kindly requested to supply this manual along with the machine to the
new purchaser.
1.2 WARRANTEE
The manufacturer warrants new machinery at the time of delivery to the original purchaser to be free from
defects in material and workmanship if properly set up and operated in accordance with this Operator's Man-
ual.
The manufacturer undertakes to repair or replace free of charge any defective part which should be returned
by the purchaser (freight prepaid) and found to be defective by inspection authorized by the manufacturer
during the warranty period.
This warranty will be valid for 12 (twelve) months from the delivery of goods to the original purchaser.
In case the customer is not in a position to return the defectice part to the facturer, the manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for any cost due for repair or replacement of any part of the machine, he will only supply
the part(s) required for the repair and/or replacement.
The warranty is null and void when it is evident that the machine has been improperly used or repaired or
however repaired without authorization.
The manufacturer undertakes no responsibility for any obligation or agreement reached by any manufacturer

1.3 CAUTION FOR USE
It could be dangerous for people who are not familiar with this type of machine to use the rakes particularly
when kids are there during the assembly or operation on field. We therefore recommend the use of the only
to those people who are very familiar with the machine and the safety precautions.
1.4 ASSEMBLY SOLUTION
Our rakes are easily convertible into different sizes, as almost all parts are standard and interchangeable on
all sizes (wheel arms, wheels - etc.). With a special frame it is possible to attach together two RP/4-RP/5-
RP/6 rakes - R.H. and L.H. - and convert them into a V-rake.
Here are the advantages
1) Having a R.H. RP/4 rake or a R.H. RP/5 rake or a R.H. RP/6 rake you can convert them into a L.H.
RP/4 or L.H. RP/5 or L.H. RP/6 rake by replacing all wheel arms marked RIGHT with those marked
LEFT.
2) Having a R.H. RP/4 rake you can convert it into a RP/8 V-rake by attaching a L.H. RP/4 rake and the
relevant frame. To get one RP/10 V-rake from two RP/5 rake the procedure is still the same. To get
one RP/12 V-rake from two RP/6 rake the procedure is still the same.
3) You could also use your V-rake as two single ones, L.H. or R.H. rake, according to your require-
ments.

wheels as explained above.
The rake is now fully assembled and ready to be mounted to the tractor (pict. 1.6)
IMPORTANT ! Above are the infractions for the R.H. rake assembly. Please refer to the above
instructions also for the L.H. rake assembly. Most parts are interchangeable for
both rakes, only the specific parts are marked RIGHT or LEFT

1.8 MOUNTING OF RP/4 AND RP/5 RAKE TO TRACTOR
When the rake Is ready to be to the tractor (pict. 1.6) attach the to the pins on both of the primary structure
(16).
Next, attach the three to the cap (18) of the pin. Now lift the rake to its setting and for transport lock with the
pin (32) for no rake floating (pict. 1.7).
Retain the part (17) to the crossbar (16) with the pin (19) into hole 1 (pict. 3.1) of the above said crossbar.
Now turn the main, pipe (37) the to the vertical position for transport (pict. 1.8).

tion is for transport only (pict. 1.7).
2 RP/8-RP/10 AND RP/12 V-RAKE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
RP/8 and RP/10 and RP/12 V-rakes are made as follows:
- no 1 main frame (1) complete of hitches (4-12).
- no 1 R.H. RP/4 or RP/5 or RP/6 rake, duly assembled as above.
- no 1 L.H RP/4 or RP/5 or RP/6 rake, duly assembled as above.
IMPORTANT ! On the R.H. and L.H. RP/4 and RP/5 and RP/6 rakes only the wheel arms and the
wheels are specific, all other parts are interchangeable for both rakes. The spe-
cific parts are marked RIGHT (for the R.H. rake) and LEFT (for the L.H. rake).

IMPORTANT ! For the V-rake transport please refer to the RP/4 and RP/5 and RP/6 rake
transport. Picture 2.5 below show the transport position of RP/8 and RP/10 and
RP/12 V-rakes.
3 ON THE FIELD WITH RP/4-RP/5 AND RP/6
Before operating the rake and after you have reached the field, unlock pin (32) (pict. 1.7 and relevant notes).
This will enable the rake to float independent of the main frame.
Next, adjust the rake working angle by positioning the pin (19) into the holes 2 to 7 (pict. 3.1). Hole 1 is for
transport only.
The rake is suitable for RAKING, SPREADING and TURNING as described below.

5 FEATURES
Our hayrakes are basically made of a primary structure of bent steel pipes, which make the Implement par-
ticularly sturdy and flexible. Tines are also very flexible, many are the possible adjustments of the rake, and
the implement can work fast and successfully even on slopes or on stony and rough soils. The wheel hubs
are made of pressed steel and are equipped with taper roller bearings, protected with a dust cover, so that
the wheels can properly turn.
6 MAINTENANCE
On our rakes no maintenance Is required. As a matter of fact no maintenance Is required for all gearings,
wheel hubs (equipped with 1st quality taper roller bearings and protected with a dust cover) and all setting
operations. No special tools are therefore required for servicing.
However, when the season is over, we recommend to clean the implement, to protect it from rust by oiling
and store it until next season.
IMPORTANT ! We recommend the use of our original spare parts only, to get your implement
working well for a long time. By ordering spare parts please always refer to the
parts breakdown provided with this manual.
Every our rake is provided with an identification label, as follows:
7 Machine identification data and conformity declaration
The machine is identified by means of the following technical data:
•Type of machine
•Registration number
•Year of manufacture
•Weight
stamped on the rating plate fastened to the frame of the machine. This data should be mentioned when re-
questing any replacements or information.
