OPERATING AND USE - 19
The rake must be taken to the work area in keeping with the instructions in paragraph B2 “Handling and Transportation”.
The tractor driver is personally responsible for the general procedure of conveying the rake and must therefore prepare the rake for
transportation as follows:
• Firstly, the operator must remove any safety devices that need to be removed for transportation, i.e. The jacks' stop devices for
hay wheel movements (A):
- remove the safety pin to free the device, lift the latter from the jack rod and move it further back, as shown in the
illustration. Re-fasten the device with the safety pin (do one side at a time);
• always on this side of the equipment, the operator remove the handle pin (B) from its housing in order to unlock the rotation of
the rear wheel from the transport or stop position;
• from the cab, the operator first unlocks the mechanical lock C from the working angle plate mobile frame (D) and at the same time he goes with the tractor in
reverse. The opening of the mobile frame is made by the placing of the mechanical lock in the housings on the relating plate D. A complete opening
corresponds to the last external housing on the plate. Therefore, depending on the type of work he has to do, the operator will release the mechanical lock in
the corresponding housing. With the string no longer pulled, the lock is automatically located in the relating housing, hooking the plate and blocking the mobile
frame in the selected working position;
• after the opening of the mobile frame (E), with the equipment in working configuration, the rear wheel will be aligned (manually or hydraulically) to the tractor
and locked by inserting the handle pin in its housing (F) and, on the plate below, in the relating hole;
