instructions to other users and

operators.

Also read and observe the safety

regulations in the operating

instructions for the base machine.

Due Use

The mounted band rake has exclusively

been designed for all common

applications and tasks in forestry and

grass and park maintenance (due use).

Any other type of operation is

considered undue. The manufacturer is

not liable for any damage resulting from

undue use, for which the risk lies with

the user alone.

Due use includes compliance with

manufacturer’s instructions on

operation, maintenance and repair.

Any unauthorized changes to the band

rake render manufacturer liability null

and void.

General Instructions on

Safety and Accident

Prevention

Basic Rule:

The standard accident prevention

regulations must be adhered to, as well

as all other generally accepted rules

governing operational safety,

occupational health and road traffic

regulations.

For drives on public roads, the latest

traffic code applies.

Accordingly, check the band rake for

road and operational safety each time

you take up operation.

Only persons familiar with the band rake

and instructed on the hazards of

operation are allowed to use, maintain

and repair the band rake.

Young persons of 16 years or younger

are not permitted to operate the rake!

safe distance!

Edition 01.99 Band Rake 5529 021 7

1. Safety Instructions

Due to its centrifgual mass, the band

rake can follow up. During that time, do

not stay too close to the rake housing.

Only when the rake teeth are completely

standing still and the spark plug

connector has been withdrawn, works

on the rake are permitted.

Foreign powered parts shear and

squeeze!

Riding on the attachment during

operation is not permitted.

Implements and weights influence the

driving, steering, braking, and tip-over

characteristics of the band rake.

Therefore, ensure steering and braking

functions are sufficient. Match operating

speed to conditions.

Do not change settings of governor. High

engine speed increases risk of

accidents.

Working Area and Danger

Zone

The user is liable to third parties working

within the band rake’s working range.

Staying in the danger zone is not

permitted.

Check the immediate surroundings of

the mower before you start it. Watch out

for children and animals.

Before you start work, clear the area

from any foreign object. During

operation, always watch out for further

objects and remove them in time.

For operation in enclosed areas, ensure

that a safety distance is kept to

enclosures to prevent damage to tools.

Be careful when raking; ensure that the

rake teeth do not seize obstacles such

as border stones, enclosures, roots etc.

Operation and

Safety Devices

Before you start the engine

Become familiar with the devices and

operating elements and their functions.

Above all, learn how to turn the engine

off quickly and safely in an emergency

situation.

Ensure that all protective devices are

mounted and positioned to provide

protection.

With no implement mounted, make sure

PTO-shaft is covered with the protective

cap.

Starting the engine

Do not start engine in closed rooms. The

carbon monoxide contained in the

exhaust fume is extremely toxic when

inhaled.

Before you start the engine set all

operating elements to neutral or idling

position.

Be careful upon starting and during

raking; do not come directly close to the

machine with your hands or feet.

When starting, it is not permitted to bring

the band rake into an upright position

or to tilt it.

For starting the engine, do not step in

front of the band rake.

Band rake – article:

5529 021 ...... for type 3400 and 5500

Use as directed

The combined band rake is meant for

harvesting thin-stemmed forage fields

and grassland areas and can be used

for turning, tedding and swathing of the

mowed material. The band rake can also

be used for the cultivation of grassland,

i.e. for swathing of leaves, harrowing of

grazing land and the distribution of

muck:

Technical description

The steel tube frame of the band rake

is mounted to a two-wheel steerable

chassis.

The working tool is a cross-running belt

made of V-belts which are connected at

regular distance with bolted rake teeth

via cross strips.

To connect the band rake to the two-

wheel tractor or the tool carrier, a

connection flange is arranged at the rear

part of the frame.

Edition 01.99 Band Rake 5529 021 13

3. Devices and Operating Elements

Dead Stop

The band rake is provided with a safety

switch (A/6) to avoid that, during steering

with the steering rod, the safety shifting

lever at the base machine must be

pressed.

To that end, however, upon mounting,

the electrical line of the dead stop must

be connected (as described in section

"Mounting the band rake", page 12).

Stop Position

When releasing the lever, the ignition

system is disconnected (engine is shut

down).

Caution, engine is following

up due to the centrifugal

mass.

Operating Position

To operate the band rake, press the

dead stop lever at the steering rod.

Do not tie dead stop lever in

place.

Start Position

Bring the dead stop lever of the base

machine into the starting position as

described in the operating instructions

for the base machine.

Steering System

The band rake is guided with the

steering handle of the base machine; it

is steered however with the aid of the

steering rod (A/1).

If the steering rod is turned to the left,

the machine is running to the right.

If the steering rod is turned to the right,

the machine is running to the left.

3. Devices and Operating Elements

Height Adjustment of the

Supporting Wheels

The ground clearance of the machine

can be increased or reduced by

displacing the supporting wheels.

Keep the supporting

wheel holder with one

hand and unfix with the

other hand the

adjusting lever (D/1).

Slide the supporting

wheel holder upwards

or downwards, until

the desired ground

clearance is reached.

Then, tighten the

adjusting lever again.

Supporting Discs

for works at slight slopes

To improve guiding via the supporting

wheels for working at slight slopes, the

wheels can be equipped with supporting

discs (wheel centres F/3).

Additional Weights

for works on steeper slopes

For working on steeper slopes, mount

additional weights (F/1) to the wheels.

In this way, a good lateral guidance of

the machine is achieved.

Swathing Board

The swathing board is required for

tedding and swathing.

Adjustment of the Swathing

Board

The swathing board (E/1) can be

adjusted at option after having loosened

the bolt (E/4) and displaced the square

tube (E/2).

Edition 01.99 Band Rake 5529 021 15

4. Commissioning and Operation

Working with the Band

Rake

When transporting the band rake with

the base machine on public roads, the

regulations of the StVZO (Road Trans-

port Licensing Order) (e.g. rear

reflectors, protective covers) and of the

StVO (Road Traffic Code) must be

observed.

On the road or when driving

onto the field, only drive with

disconnected rake band!

Driving with Disconnected

Band Rake

Observe the following principles:

Set both supporting wheels such high

that the rake teeth have a sufficient

ground clearance and cannot be

damaged when driving on uneven

ground.

Transport velocity max. 6 km/h.

Driving with Connected Band

Rake

It is prohibited to stay in the

danger zone.

Prior to starting the works, remove

foreign bodies from the area to be

worked.

During working, look for further

foreign bodies and remove them in

time.

Check the area close to the machine,

in particular for children and animals!

Be careful near rotating tools – safety

distance!

During working with connected rake

band, driving forward and backward is

possible.

Start engine as described in the

operating instructions for the base

machine.

Connect the PTO-shaft with the PTO

shifting lever or the PTO shifting rod (in

this way connecting the PTO-shaft and

also the rake band).

Move safety shifting lever at the

steering rod into the operating position.

Select desired gear (max. 4 km/h) and

slowly disengage the clutch,

simultaneously accelerating.

Tedding

Turning

4. Commissioning and Operation

Tedding

Remove the swath board from the

band rake:

Adjust the supporting wheels such that

the resilient teeth of the rake band

slightly touch the ground:

Adjust the supporting wheel at the

discharge side somewhat higher to

ensure uniform tedding of the entire

mowed material.

Depending on the type of the mowed

material, accelerate more or less until

the rake band is optimally working.

During working, drive such over the

mowed area that the mowed swath is

between the two supporting wheels.

Turning

Remove the swath board from the

band rake:

For turning, adjust the supporting

wheels in the same way as for tedding.

When working on plain surfaces and

not excessively steep slopes, perform

circular movements with the machine.

When working on steep slopes, move

along the height lines and turn downhill.

Edition 01.99 Band Rake 5529 021 17

Swathing

4. Commissioning and Operation

Swathing

Mount the swath board to the band

rake.

Extract the square supporting pipe

such that the swath board is positioned

about 60 cm laterally from the reversing

point of the rake teeth.

Adjust the two supporting wheels such

that the flexible teeth are at identical

height and only slightly touch the

ground.

If the mowed material should wind

around the teeth, the following can be

the cause:

– the speed of the rake band is too low

(increase speed by accelerating),

– the swathing comb is too close to the

reversing point of the rake teeth (furt-

her extract swathing comb),

– the rake teeth are too close to the

ground (increase height of the band rake

at the supporting wheels).

Distributing Muck

The muck shall be of short straw

(chopped straw). The machine is used

for distributing muck out of the swath.

Depending on the required distribution

density, the muck can be repeatedly

distributed in the same or in opposite

direction.

After the distribution of farmyard

manure, always thoroughly clean the

machine.

Harrowing of Grassland

The band rake is also excellently suited

for harrowing of grassland.

The height of the supporting wheels is

adjusted according to the soil and local

conditions.

During this work, the teeth shall be

moved over the ground such that the

turf is slightly notched. The circulating

flexible teeth are grading mole- and ant

hills. Moreover, they remove grass

residues hindering the grass growth so

that the grassland is better ventilated.

5. Maintenance

Prior to every

maintenance, care

and cleaning mea-

sure, absolutely shut down the

engine and withdraw glow plug

connector or ignition key.

When working at the rake band and

at the resilient teeth, wear protective

gloves. Risk of injuries!

In case of blockages, shut down the

equipment, secure it and clean it with

a suitable aid (wooden rod). Replace

damaged working tools.

Pay attention to

rotating tools –

maintain safety

distance! Pay attention to following

up tools. Prior to working on them,

wait until they have come to a

complete standstill.

Observe the maintenance and care

instructions for the base machine

and the band rake:

Always after 25–40 operating hours and

after every cleaning with a high-pressure

cleaner, lubricate the following parts:

Prior to every mounting, clean the

coupling sleeve and slightly grease it

with a brush (4).

Lubricate the grease nipples at the

wheels with Bio grease.

The hubs of the belt pulley shaft and

the hubs of the pulleys are filled with

grease. After two seasons, dismantle the

hubs and fill them with new grease. (The

old grease must be removed and the

hub rinsed with oil).

The resilient rake teeth have self-

lubricating bearings and do not require

lubricating.

Edition 01.99 Band Rake 5529 021 19

5. Maintenance

Adjusting the V-belt

Tension

The V-belt tension must be repeatedly

checked and changed as follows, if

required:

Loosen clamping screws (G/3).

Loosen counter nut (G/2) and turn it

back on the tensioning screw by some

leads.

Adjust tensioning screw (G/1) until the

V-belts (G/4) are tensioned.

Re-tighten counter nut (G/2) and

clamping screws (G/3).

Check V-belt condition (e.g. formation

of cracks); renew V-belt, if required.

General

Regularly check screws and nuts for

tight seating; re-tighten, if required.

All sliding or movable parts must be

slightly coated with Bio lube oil.

Cleaning

After every use, thoroughly clean the

band rake with water.

After cleaning with a high-pressure

cleaner, immediately lubricate the

lubricating points and shortly operate the

band rake to press off the entered water.

A grease collar shall be visible at the

bearing point. This collar protects the

bearing point against the entrance of

dirt, plant saps and water.

Storage

If the band rake is not used for a longer

time, then do the following:

a) thoroughly clean,

repair paint defects, lubricate lubricating

points and shortly operate the machine,

then spray Bio anti-corrosion oil onto the

rake teeth;

b) do not store

in moist rooms where artificial manure

is stored, in stables or adjacent rooms,

as in these cases heavy corrosion is

caused;

c) cover

band rake with a cloth or similar.

Recommendations: Maintenance and Repair

The trained mechanics of your agria workshop carry out expert maintenance and repair.

You should only carry out major maintenance work and repairs on your own, if you have the

proper tools and knowledge of machines and internal combustion engines.

Do not hammer against the flywheel with a hard object or metal tools as it might crack and

shatter in operation causing injuries and damage. Only use suitable tools for pulling the flywheel.

Recommendations: Lubricants and Anti-Corrosive Agents

Use the specified lubricants for engine and transmission (see “Specifications”).

We recommend using bio-lubricating oil or bio-lubricating grease for “open” lubricating points

or nipples (as specified in the operating instructions).

We recommend using bio anti-corrosive oil for preservation of machines and implements (do

not apply on painted external covers). Oil can be brushed or sprayed on.

Anti-corrosive agents are kind to the environment and degrade fast.

Using ecologically safe bio-lubricants and bio-anti-corrosives, you contribute to environmental

protection and to the wellbeing of humans, animals and plants.
