Use and maintenance manual
10 - SAFETY
You must remember that the transportation configuration entails (in sequence):
- lifting the hay wheels, by using the correspondent lever of the hydraulic system
placed in cabin;
- closing the mobile frame, by pulling the string in the cabin that unlocks the
mechanical block (1) from the plate working angle mobile frame (2) and
simultaneously going in reverse with the tractor. This movement involves the
closing of the mobile frame that will automatically end when the blocking device will
found the correspondent hole on the plate and it will be hooked to it;
- the application of the locking pin rear wheel (3) on the relative plate. The
arrangement of the wheel in the tractor direction is manual on the mechanical
version. On the hydraulic version it is necessary to use a special jack;
- the application of the block running device on the jack rod positioning hay wheels
(4) (in order to avoid its possible retraction) and its locking by using a safety plug.
• Installation: the equipment must only be installed on agricultural tractors with universal
three-point hitch system and with rear hydraulic connection.
IMPORTANT
The tractors must, in turn, be provided with protective roll-bar or ROPS or FOPS
approved cabins, as indicated by the current Standards. It is strictly forbidden to
install the equipment on tractors without these protections.
However, before installing, the Customer must consult the relative use and maintenance
manual to ascertain the tractor has the necessary requisites to use and function the hay
rake and/or ballasts are required to eliminate any unbalances that might cause it to
overturn. For instructions relating to the installation of the hay rake consult the relative
paragraph described below.
B3 Intended use and precautions
The hay rake is an agricultural equipment used to collect any other type of previously cut
forage. Once the windrows (straights of cut hay) are created, the forage is harvested using
a special baler.
The rake, as mentioned before, is a mounted type and therefore it has to be attached to an
agricultural tractor for it to work. Its functioning is obtained for effect of
its dragging by the machine towing it and for the rotary movement of the hay wheel, that
thanks to their teeth will collect the cut forage.
