Meaning of warning
symbols
Read the operating manual
Read and observe the operating manual and the safety regulations
prior to initial operation! The machine may only be commissioned
once the operating manual has been read and understood. This ap-
plies in particular to the safety instructions.
Switch off the engine
Perform all maintenance, repair and adjusting work only when the im-
plement is at a standstill. Serious or fatal injury can be the result.
Keep your distance from the rotating rotor.
When the wheel rake is in operation, nobody is allowed in the imme-
diate vicinity of the implement. Serious or fatal injury can be the result.
Cardan shaft speed 540 rpm
The prescribed maximum cardan shaft speed of 540 rpm must not be
exceeded. The consequence could be damage to the implement.
Risk of crushing
Never reach into the crush hazard zone if any parts there are able to
move. Otherwise, there is a risk of serious or fatal injury.
Distance from the tractor
When the implement is being coupled, uncoupled or operated, there
should be no-one causing an obstruction between the tractor and the
implement. Serious or fatal injury can be the result.
Do not exceed the maximum hydraulic pressure
The hydraulic pressure of the tractor on the implement's hydraulic sys-
tem must not exceed 210 bar. The consequence could be damage to
the implement.
Caution: flying parts
Danger from parts flying out when the motor is running. Keep a safe
distance.

Safety instruction

Who is allowed to
operate the
implement
Only qualified personnel
Only qualified persons who have been informed of the dangers asso-
ciated with handling the implement are permitted to operate, service
or repair the implement. This knowledge can be gained via agricultural
training, technical training or intensive instruction.
General
Safety is your responsibility
Follow the safety regulations. Ensure you are always in compliance
with the safety regulations. Most accidents can be avoided. Avoid se-
rious or fatal accidents by following the safety instructions.
Prescribed workwear
Do not wear loose, baggy clothing. Any loose or baggy items of cloth-
ing worn may become caught in the rotating parts. Wear workwear
and protective clothing, as prescribed by the trade's mutual indemnity
association. There is otherwise the risk of serious or fatal injury.
Good working condition
Ensure that the tractor is always in good working condition, and that
the tractor's brakes and the implement are working perfectly. Observe
the information and technical data in the operating manual for your
tractor.
Never work on the implement when it is running
Actions should not be carried out on the implement while it is running.
Objects or personnel can be caught, drawn in or crushed. There is oth-
erwise the risk of serious or fatal injury.
Do not make any modifications to the implement
No modifications whatsoever must be made to the implement. Unau-
thorised modifications can impair safety and affect the service life of
the machine. Unauthorised modifications to the implement render the
manufacturer's guarantee null and void and frees the manufacturer
from all liability.
Cardan shaft
Use only the cardan shafts prescribed by the manufacturer and read
the attached operating manual thoroughly. Adapt the length of the
cardan shaft as required. The wrong cardan shaft lengths can cause
damage to the implement and injuries to personnel.

10
Safety instruction
Check and fix the cardan shaft guard
The rotating cardan shaft is protected by the cardan shaft guard. En-
sure that the guard is not damaged. Fix the cardan shaft guard by con-
necting the chains on the implement and tractor faces. Unguarded
cardan shafts can cause life-threatening injuries.
Maximum cardan shaft speed 540 rpm
The prescribed maximum cardan shaft speed of 540 rpm must not be
exceeded. Higher rpm's can cause damage to the implement.
Unrestricted field of vision to the rear
Ensure that you have an unrestricted view of the implement which is
coupled when it is in both its work and transport positions. To do so,
use at least the panoramic mirror provided by the tractor manufactur-
er. Potential hazardous situations can be identified in plenty of time.
Accidents or damage may be caused.
Coupling
Increased risk of injury
When coupling the implement to the tractor, there is an increased risk
of injury. Therefore:
• secure the tractor against rolling away, shut off the engine and take
out the ignition key.
• Never stand between the tractor and the implement during cou-
pling.
• Lock the cardan shaft securely to the PTO shaft end of the tractor
and implement.
• If this is not complied with, the consequence can be damage to the
implement and even life-threatening injuries.

Safety instruction
11
Hydraulic
Hydraulic connection at zero pressure only
Only connect hydraulic tubes to the tractor hydraulic system if the trac-
tor and implement hydraulic system is depressurised. A pressurised
hydraulic system can trigger unforeseen movements on the imple-
ment and can cause serious damage and injuries. There is otherwise
the risk of serious or fatal injury.
High pressure in the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is often overpressurised. All pipes, tubes, cou-
plings and connecting passageways must be checked for leaks and
other damage on a regular basis. Only use suitable tools when check-
ing for leaks. Repair any damage immediately. Escaping oil can cause
injuries and burns. Seek medical attention immediately if injuries oc-
cur.
Colour-coded hydraulic connections
The hydraulic connections are uniquely colour-coded. Lines between
the tractor and implement should be connected to hydraulic connec-
tions of the same colour. Wrongly connected hydraulic connections
can trigger unexpected movements on the implement.

12
Safety instruction
Road travel
Ensuring road safety
The implement must conform to current national traffic regulations if
you intend to drive it on public roads. Ensure:
• Lighting, warning and protective equipment is installed and func-
tioning
• Compliance with the permissible transport widths and weights, ax-
le loads, tyre loadbearing capacities, laden weights and national
speed restrictions.
• Compliance with the maximum permissible road transport speed of
40 km/h.
If this is not complied with, the driver and keeper of the vehicle are li-
able.
Check the tyre pressure
Check tyre pressure regularly. The wrong tyre pressure will reduce the
service life of a tyre and can cause unstable driving properties and ac-
cidents.
Adjusting the load-dependent brake
Before travelling on the road, check that the lever of the implement's
load-dependent brake is adjusted to “Full load”. The braking efficiency
changes. This can cause accidents. The consequence can be traffic
accidents with serious or fatal injuries.
No riding on the implement
Neither personnel nor objects are allowed to be transported on the im-
plement at any time. Riding on the implement is hazardous and strictly
prohibited.
Altered driving and braking performance
The driving and braking performance are altered when the implement
is attached to the tractor. Take the width and balancing weight of the
implement into consideration, especially when cornering. A driving
style which is not adapted to conditions can cause accidents.
Adapted speed
In the event of bad road conditions and excessive speed, very high
forces can occur that subject the tractor and implement material to
high loads or to an overload. Adapt the speed to the road conditions.
A driving style which is not adapted to conditions can cause accidents.
The consequence can be traffic accidents with serious or fatal injuries.
Checking the hitch pin
The hitch pin must be in perfect condition, there must be no signs of
wear and it must be properly secured. Otherwise coupled implements
are able to detach themselves. The consequence can be accidents
with serious or fatal injuries.
Check remote cord for the quick release coupling
Remote cords must hang loose and must not, when in their lowered
position, release the couplings of their own accord. Coupled imple-
ments can otherwise detach themselves from the tractor's lower link
arm. The consequence can be accidents with serious or fatal injuries.

Safety instruction
13
Operation
The implement should not be put into operation for the first time
until the user has been trained to use it.
The implement must not be used until instruction has been given by
distribution company employees, company representatives or manu-
facturer's employees. If initial operation is performed without instruc-
tion, damage to the implement can be caused by operating errors and
accidents can occur.
Ensure that the implement is in perfect working condition.
Do not operate the implement unless it is in perfect working condition.
Check all important components and replace any defective compo-
nents before starting the implement. Defect components can cause
damage to equipment and injury to persons.
Check the protective equipment
The guard devices must not be removed or by-passed. Check all pro-
tective equipment before starting the implement. Unguarded parts of
the implement can cause serious or fatal injuries.
No riding on the implement
Neither personnel nor objects are allowed to be transported on the im-
plement at any time. Riding on the implement is hazardous and strictly
prohibited.
Make sure the immediate vicinity is clear
Check the surrounding area of the implement before starting and con-
tinually during operation. Make sure the operator has an adequate
view of the work area. Only begin work if the immediate vicinity is
cleared of any persons or objects. There is otherwise the risk of seri-
ous or fatal injury.
Retighten all nuts, bolts and screws
Regularly check that the nuts, bolts and screws are fully tightened and
tighten them, if necessary. Screws can work loose when the imple-
ment is used. The consequence can be damage to the implement and
accidents.
Instructions in the event of malfunctions
In the event of a malfunction, stop, shut down and secure the imple-
ment immediately. The malfunction may be eliminated immediately, or
your dealer must be assigned the task. Using a faulty implement can
cause accidents or damage.
The tractor's PTO shaft continues turning after it has been
switched off
After the tractor's PTO shaft has been unhitched or disconnected the
implement continues running due to inertia. Maintain a safe distance
until the pick-up equipment and all moving parts have come to a com-
plete standstill.
Cornering and turning manoeuvres
Centrifugal forces are in operation when cornering. The implement's
centre of gravity at the rear of the tractor is displaced. Be aware of the
turning radius and the moment of inertia. A driving style which is not
adapted to conditions can cause accidents. The consequence can be
accidents with serious or fatal injuries.

14
Safety instruction
Uncoupling
Increased risk of injury
There is an increased risk of injury when uncoupling the implement
from the tractor. Therefore:
• Secure the tractor against rolling away, switch off and take out the
ignition key.
• Never stand between the tractor and the implement during uncou-
pling.
• Stop the implement on firm, secure, level ground.
• Ensure that the sustainer is securely locked.
• Place the cardan shaft in the brackets provided.
• Secure the implement against rolling away (use wheel wedges).
• Do not disconnect the hydraulic tubes until the hydraulic system is
at zero pressure on both the tractor and implement faces.
If this is not complied with, the consequence can be serious or fatal
injuries.

Safety instruction
15
Care and
Maintenance
Follow the care and maintenance chart
Observe prescribed intervals for maintenance checks and inspections
specified in the operating manual. If these intervals are not complied
with, damage to the implement and accidents can be caused.
Use original parts
Many components have special properties that are decisive for the
stability and operability of the implement. Only those replacement
parts and accessories supplied by the manufacturer have been tested
and approved. Using other products may lead to malfunctions or re-
duce safety of operation. The use of non-OEM replacement parts
renders the manufacturer's guarantee null and void and frees the
manufacturer from all liability.
When performing care and maintenance work:
• Switch off the cardan shaft drive.
• Depressurise the hydraulic system.
• Whenever possible, uncouple the tractor.
• Switch off the electronic control system.
• Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key.
• Ensure the implement is standing on firm, secure, level ground,
and provide additional support, if necessary.
• Do not use parts of the implement as a climbing aid; use only a se-
cure means of access.
• Secure the implement against rolling away (use wheel wedges).
Only if these regulations are complied with is safety ensured during
care and maintenance work.
Turn off the electrical supply
Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, disconnect it from
the power supply. Equipment under electrical power can cause dam-
age to equipment and injury to persons.
Replace hydraulic tubes every six years
Hydraulic tubes can age without this being externally visible. We
therefore recommend replacing the hydraulic tubes every six years.
Defective hydraulic lines can cause serious or fatal injuries.

16
Safety instruction
Caution when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner
Be careful when cleaning with a high pressure cleaner. Bearings,
seals and pipe unions are not waterproof. Avoid damaging the imple-
ment; the bearings, seals and pipe unions must not come into direct
contact with the high pressure water jets.
No corrosive washing additives
Do not use any corrosive washing additives for cleaning. The bright
metal surfaces can get damaged.
Prior to carrying out welding work
Disconnect all electrical connections from the tractor when carrying
out welding on the attached implement. Damage may otherwise be
caused to the electrical system.
Tighten bolt and screw connections
All screwed/bolted connections that are released during maintenance
and repair operations must be retightened. Serious injuries and dam-
age to property can be caused by loose bolt and screw connections.
Further
regulations

Work area of the
implement
The implement is a rotary tedder that is solely to be used for distribut-
ing, turning and swathing mown goods, like straw and hay.
Proper use
Any other use extending beyond this, for example, for silo distribution,
any form whatsoever of soil preparation, road sweeping or for the
transmission of power to other implements is not an intended use. The
manufacturer and dealer are not liable for damage caused by improp-
er use. Improper use is solely at the risk of the user.
Features of the
implement
Usage on large areas
This rotary tedder with a span of 8.30 m and six rotors is ideal for
large-scale operations.
Low maintenance gears
The implement is equipped with low-maintenance gears and seven
tedder arms per rotor. Fully closed gears submerged in oil are the per-
fect measure to prevent wear.
Clear filed edges
The crop is turned away from the field edge by pivoting the guided run-
ning wheel axles. This helps to prevent fodder from being lost.
Inclination of rotors
The inclination of rotors is adjustable. This enables processing a wide
spectrum of feed types.
Simple transformation from work to transport position
the rotary tedder is simply changed from work to transport position.
The hydraulic cylinders swivel the rotary tedder into the transport po-
sition. Dismounting the tractor is not required.
