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.
