3.1 Mounting of wheels
Mounting of wheels requires correct mounting tools and must be
performed by persons with sufficient knowledge.
When working with the wheels the rake must be secured so that it
cannot move!
When the rake has been unloaded the transport wheels of steel must be replaced by
the road tyre equipment.
The wheels can be mounted on wide or narrow track depending on the direction in
which the crank of the rim is pointing. In both cases the outer width of the rake stays
under 3 m.
When working on hilly ground we recommend the wide track as the stability of
the machine is thereby increased.
The torque measurement for wheel nuts (300 Nm) must be observed. After 5 hours
of operation the wheel nuts must be checked and re-tightened if necessary.

For the transport by lorry the rotors are separated from the boom (6) at the cardinal
fishplates (1). The steering fishplates (2, 3) are also separated from the rotor and
remain at the boom.
The steering fishplate 2 (uppermost with cam) must be mounted to the pin on the
boom which is further out than the one for steering fishplate 3.
Procedure:
The cardinal fishplates (1) are mounted on the boom. Both fishplates must be
mounted on the outside of the boom! The fishplate with the shortest slot is
mounted at the front in the direction of travel.
Important: The bolt heads must point inwards!

3.6 Mounting of PTO drive shafts
After mounting of the rotors, the PTO shafts must be connected. These are equipped
with a protective cover in the one side. The PTO shafts from gearbox to rotor are
pushed in and fastened to the gearbox with clamps.
At the PTO shaft from tractor to machine the protective cover is fastened on the
machine side with clamps.
The lock-pins of the PTO yokes must be safely locked at the
output of the gearbox and the input of the rotor!
3.7 Adjustment of PTO drive shaft
It may be necessary to shorten the PTO shaft from tractor to machine in order to
prevent that it bottoms in the shortest position. On tractors with a short distance from
PTO to link arm connection, the PTO shaft may be too long.
Important: The profile tubes must have minimum 200 mm overlap!
In the shortest position there must be a distance of minimum 40
mm from profile tube to universal joint!
The adjustment of the PTO drive shaft takes place as follows:
The rake and the tractor are placed in the position in which the PTO shaft has
the shortest length.
The two PTO shaft half parts are separated.
The one half part is pushed onto the tractor PTO, the other half part onto the
drive shaft of the rake.
See the instruction manual for the PTO drive shaft for further instructions
(enclosed).
If the rake is going to be connected to different tractors, it is
important to make sure that the 200 mm overlap and the distance
of 40 mm are observed. For tractors with very different distances
between PTO and link arm connection it is recommendable to
have different PTO shafts in stock.
After the adjustment the swivel area and clearance of the PTO
shaft must be checked. The PTO shaft should not in any position
get in contact with machine parts.

5.5 Adjustment of working width
The rotary rakes R+760 and R+820 can be set to 3 different working widths. This
adjustment can only take place when the machine is in transport position.
The stop cock of the hydraulic hose must be closed during
adjustment.
The locking pawls must be engaged.
The adjustment takes place as follows:
Split pin and disc on the rod (1) are removed.
The rod (1) is placed in the desired oblong hole.
Split pin and disc are placed again.
The following working widths can be preset:
R 760: R+820
Outermost: 7.60 m 8.20 m
Middle: 7.20 m 7.80 m

5.5.1 Alfalfa position
The rotary rakes have a fourth position for adjustment of the working width.
For this purpose the swath guard must be dismounted. The rotors are so close in
working position that there is no room for the swath guard.
This position is intended for crops which are intertwined in the stubbles and must be
lifted once from the ground in the whole working width. (e.g. alfalfa grass, alfalfa etc.)
Procedure when dismounting the swath guard:
Swath guard (1), holder at gear (2), holder at frame flange with spacers (3) are
dismounted completely.
Rod (4) at boom is dismounted.
In this position the following working widths can be obtained:
R+760: 6.45 m
R+820: 7.00 m
Depending on the crop it may be an advantage to adjust the crop delivery on the cam
track to "later". See chapter 6.3.)

5.6 Further instructions for working and driving with the machine
This machine is equipped with mechanical power steering. This means that the rake
approximately follows the track of the tractor. This means that the machine has a
very good manoeuvrability.
A stop under the front frame secures the suspension against too sharp turns.
A visual indicator shows the operator how far he can turn. For this purpose there is a
special label on the front frame. If the inclined sides of the label and the flange of the
suspension form a line (1), the steering is close to the stop.
Continued steering against the stop may lead to damage of the suspension, frame
and steering rods and should be avoided.
Damage of the suspension, frame and steering rods will influence
the road safety of the rake.
5.7 Hydraulic locking of rotor (optional equipment)
For the rotary rakes R+760 and R+820 a hydraulic locking device is available as
optional equipment for the left rotor (seen in the direction of travel) (see also chapter
3.9.). This makes it possible to work with only one rotor, for instance along the field
boundary. The other rotor remains locked in the headland position. Hereby the
hydraulic hose for the lifting cylinder is blocked with a hydraulic magnet valve. The
valve is open when there is no current on the valve and does not close until there is a
voltage.
Page 49
5. HANDLING OF THE RAKE DURING WORKING
PIGB-185X 02 R+760 – R+820 0218
50
For the use of this equipment the tractor must be equipped with a 12V socket. The
equipment can also be used through an adaptor for the cigarette lighter.
The valve is controlled through an operation unit which is installed in the tractor
cabin.
Both rotors are raised to headland position. In this position the left rotor in the
direction of travel is locked. The right-hand rotor can now be lowered to working
position.
Never use the hydraulic lock to block the rotor in headland
position with the purpose of carrying out maintenance and repair
on the machine. If the current supply is unexpectedly cut off, the
rotor may suddenly fold down. Danger!
Also when the ball valve is closed there may be a balancing
between the lifting cylinders and the blocked rotor may fold down
when the valve is open.
5.8 Securing of tines in transport position
Tines, which in transport position are in an area of 500 mm – 2,000 mm above the
ground and protrude, must with a view to personal safety be equipped with tine
protection according to EN ISO 4254.
For this purpose there are 10 synthetic tine guards under the rear frame.
The tine guards must be used during transport of the rake and
when parking the rake in transport position.
Otherwise there will be risk of personal injury!

5.8.1 Placement of tine guards
The tine guards (1) are placed on
the tines. No further securing is
needed.
The tine guards must be placed
on the tines in all operating
conditions except the working
position!
5.8.2 Securing of tine guards during working
When the tine guards are not in use, they are stored under the rear frame. The tine
guards (1) are pushed into the holders (3). The locking plate (2) is pushed through
the slots in the holders and locked with spring pin (left-hand side on the picture).
The picture shows the secured position.
The tine guards are pushed into the holders as shown on the following picture.

5.9 Disconnection of the machine:
The rake should either be lowered to working position or be in
transport position with the locking pawls safely engaged.
The hydraulic system should not be under pressure and the ball
valve must be closed.
The ground must be sufficiently firm and even.
Before the disconnection the rake must be secured with stop
blocks so that it cannot move!
Procedure:
Choose a sufficiently firm, dry and even ground.
The support (1) is released and folded down. The rod is locked again (see
chapter 4.3.1).
The link arms of the tractor are lowered until the support rests safely on the
ground.
The rake is secured with stop blocks so that it cannot move. The stop blocks
can be found at the back of the rear warning panel.
The PTO shaft is disconnected from the tractor and placed in the holder (2).
The stop valve for the hydraulic hose is closed. The hydraulic hose is
disconnected and placed in the holder at the suspension (3). (Make sure that
the system is not under pressure while this is done!).
The lighting cable is disconnected and placed in the holder at the suspension.
The link arms of the tractor are released from the rake and the machine is
disconnected.

PIGB-185X 02 R+760 – R+820 0218
53
___________________________________________________________________________
6. BASIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE RAKE
Basic adjustment is carried out with stopped rotors!
The tractor engine must be stopped.
Never work under the rotors without sufficient support!
6.1 Height of the link arms
Adjust the link arms of the tractor to a height of 68 cm above the ground. If this height
is not observed, you risk that clean raking cannot be obtained.
6.2 Adjustment of working depth
The working depth is adjusted by means of the spindles which are mounted from the
rotor centre to the safety frame.
Standing in front of the rotor against the direction of travel, the adjustment can be
made as follows:
Spindle is turned in direction clockwise: The rotor is set higher
Spindle is turned in direction counter-clockwise: The rotor is set lower
The pre-setting should be carried out on even, firm ground as follows:
The rotor is lowered until the tines touch the ground
The spindle is turned back 2-3 turns.
The machine must be stopped before the adjustment is made!
It may be necessary to change the adjustment when the machine has been put into
operation. The adjustment must be adapted to the conditions, i.e. the type and
humidity of the crop, the stubble length and ground conditions.
If the adjustment is too low, earth may be mixed with the crop. The
grass roots may be damaged. Wear of the tines is increased.
If the adjustment is too high, clean raking cannot be obtained and
crop remains on the ground.
Page 53

PIGB-185X 02 R+760 – R+820 0218
54
6.3 Adjustment of crop delivery time
For adjustment of the crop delivery time the position of the cam track in the rotor can
be changed. The adjustment device is placed under the rotor.
From the factory the adjustment is set to 70 mm. If the crop delivery time should be
later or earlier, the adjustment is changed as follows:
Counter nuts (1) are loosened (wrench size 30)
Earlier crop delivery – distance 70 is reduced
Later crop delivery – distance 70 is increased
Counter nuts are tightened again
The crop delivery time is important for the swath formation of the rotor. In different
crop conditions it may be necessary to change the moment at which the tines are
lowered and lifted.
6.4 Adjustment of the working width
Adjustment of the working width takes place as described in chapter 5.5.
6.5 Adjustment of the rotor inclination
For adjustment of the rotor inclination in the direction of travel there are two spindles
between axle support and chassis.
From the factory these spindles have been adjusted to a length of 245 mm. In this
position the rotor is approx. 3 cm lower at the front than at the rear. This adjustment
is necessary in order to obtain a good result.
If crop remains at the middle of the rotor, the rotor is too high at the front. In that case
it is necessary to readjust at the spindles.

6.6 Adjustment of the rotor inclination sideways
For individual adjustment to different material the innermost support wheel on the
rotor chassis is placed on an eccentric axle journal (1).
To make the adjustment the fixing bolt (2) is removed from the middle position, a
wrench (size 30) is applied and the axle journal is turned.
There are 6 adjustment possibilities on the axle journal.
After the adjustment the fixing bolt is placed again and tightened.

6.7 Driving speed and number of revolutions
The driving speed and the number of revolutions during raking depend on the
following:
The type of crop
The amount of crop
The ground conditions
The humidity of the crop
As a rule-of-thumb the following applies:
Driving speed: 8-12 km/h
Number of revolution, PTO: 380-450 rpm
Always adjust the number of revolutions and the driving speed to
the working conditions.
Adjustment instructions: If the tines draw material from the swath
to the rear, the following should be done:
1. Reduce the number of revolutions
2. Adjust the cam track to “early crop delivery”.
6.8 Adjustment of chassis steering
If on even road the rake does not run centrally behind the tractor, an adjustment of
the steering can be made.
The adjustment is made at the steering rods of the rear axle.
The adjustment takes place as follows:
Counter nuts (1) are loosened
(wrench size 30)
Steering rods are adjusted equally
Counter nuts are tightened again
Basic adjustment A: 990 mm
Finally check whether the rotary rake
runs centrally behind the tractor.
This adjustment should be changed

7. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
OF THE RAKE
7.1 Safety rules
Maintenance, service, cleaning and repair must only take place
when the PTO and the engine have been stopped. Remove the
ignition key!
Take care that oil and grease do not get in contact with your skin.
After the first hours of operation all screws must be re-tightened!
7.2 General maintenance instructions:
To obtain high operational safety and minimum wear there are certain
maintenance and service intervals which must be observed. This
includes e.g. cleaning, greasing and lubrication of parts and
components.
Screws and nuts must be checked after every 50 hours of operation
and re-tightened if necessary!
See the table for torque settings in chapter 2.2.5.
It is particularly important to check the fixing bolts of the rake tines on
the tine arms.
Only use original spare parts and equipment. There is no warranty on
non-original components and the manufacturer is not responsible for
any damage resulting from such use.
7.3 Cleaning of the machine and preparation for winter storage
7.3.1 Cleaning of the machine
Caution:
When cleaning with a high pressure cleaner never spray directly on
bearings and hydraulic parts.
After cleaning, all bearings must be greased carefully until grease
comes out of the bearings to ensure that possible water is pressed out.
When cleaning with high pressure the paint may be damaged.
Parts polished with use may get rusty.

7.3.2 Placement of the rake in the open
If the rake is placed in the open for a longer period, all bearings must be
greased according to the lubrication schedule.
Parts polished with use and the piston rods of the hydraulic cylinder must be
cleaned and brushed with grease to protect against wind and weather.
7.3.3 Winter storage
Check the rake for damaged parts, loose screw-joints and leakage. If there is
any damage it may be forgotten during the winter and result in problems the
following year. Therefore the machine must be checked carefully before the
winter storage.
Grease the rake according to the lubrication chart.
Clean the machine carefully.
The machine must be stored in a place where it is protected against wind and
weather in the best possible way.
Check the gear oil and fill up if necessary.
Parts polished with use must be greased to protect against rust.
The PTO shafts for the rotors are disconnected at the rotor and separated, the
sliding piece is greased and the shafts are reassembled.
7.4 Hydraulic system
Liquids under pressure can penetrate the skin. Danger of
infection!
In case of personal injury caused by oil under pressure, consult a
doctor immediately.
After the first 10 hours of operation all hydraulic screw joints must
be re-tightened.
Before working with the rake all hydraulic hoses must be checked
for wear and damage.
If hydraulic hoses are worn or damaged they must be replaced
immediately.
Hydraulic hoses have a natural aging. They are marked with date of production. The
law prescribes that hydraulic hoses are replaced after 6 years.
Only use original spare parts when replacing!
When working with the hydraulic system make sure that it is not under
pressure!
The rotors must either be locked with the locking pawls or stand firmly on the
ground!

The wheels must be checked regularly for damage and correct tyre
pressure.
Wheel nuts must be checked regularly and re-tightened if
necessary!
Repair of wheels should only be made by experts and with correct
tools!
Mounting of wheels requires correct mounting tools and must be
performed by persons with sufficient knowledge.
When working with the wheels the rake must be secured so that it
cannot move!
7.5.1 Tyre pressure
The tyre pressure must be checked regularly and adjusted if necessary. The required
tyre pressure is shown in the below table:
Caution: If the pressure is too high the tyres may crack. If the pressure is too low the
tyres may be damaged due to deformation of the tyre wall.
7.6 PTO shafts
When working with the PTO shafts:
Stop the engine!
Remove the ignition key!
Instructions regarding PTO shafts:
Never use PTO shafts without guards or if guards are damaged. Risk of
personal injury!
Missing or damaged protection tubes and covers must be replaced
immediately.
Secure the protection so that it cannot turn with the shaft!
Only use PTO shafts that are approved by the manufacturer!
Grease the PTO shafts carefully according to the lubrication chart.

Supplement C
(informative)
Stability with the combination tractor – rotary tedder and rake
This supplement concerns 6.1.f) in this part of ISO 4254 which deals with the requirement of
informing of possible loss of the tractor’s stability due to the connection of the machine.
The following text is a suggestion to the manufacturer with the purpose of making it possible for him
to provide suitable and complete information.
The example concerns a rotary tedder and rake connected to a tractor.
Due to the own weight of the machine, the combination tractor – rotary tedder and rake can become
unstable. In order to test the total stability the following formula can be used for the calculation of the
minimum front ballast I
F,min
at a minimum front axle load of 20% of the tractor’s own weight:
ANNOTATION In this calculation rear-mounted implements and front/rear combinations have
been taken into consideration.
