A. INTRODUCTION
A.1 About the manual
The FRONTIER firm (“Manufacturer”) designed and
created the device in accordance with the
associated safety standards to ensure the safety of
personnel and the entire operating system.
Each rake is supplied with a copy of this manual
which the operator must read in full before using the
equipment. The manual contains all information
relating to transportation, use and maintenance of
the equipment, as well as safety instructions.
Poor knowledge of the operating system can lead to
accidents and therefore damage to the equipment.
Although the Manufacturer provides the Customer
with all information relating to the rake operation,
use and maintenance, the Customer is still expected
to read this manual and take note of all the
instructions herein.
The manual provides all the necessary instructions
on how to ensure optimal working order and safety.
The manual was drawn up according to the current
technical and structural characteristics of three
models of rake and does not cover previous similar
models. The Manufacturer therefore reserves the
right to modify models in production in the interest of
improvement or due to any new legislation
(Machinery Directive), without being obliged to
modify previous models.
This manual is integral to the rake and must
therefore be kept intact, clean and in good condition.
It should also be in a container, either on the frame
of the rake or in the tractor cabin, where it can be
easily accessed for consultation.
The manual must be kept in its container if the rake
is taken out of service. Ask the Manufacturer for a
duplicate copy if the original manual is lost.
Please contact the FRONTIER Dealer for any
clarifications relating to the instructions in this
manual.
