10 CHAPTER 4 SAFETY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS EQUIP MENT, READ AND STUDY THE FOLLOWING SAFE TY INFORMATION. IN ADDITION, ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO OPERATES OR WORKS WITH THIS EQUIPMENT IS FAMILIAR WITH THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. G E H L Company always takes the operators and their safety into consideration when designing its machinery and guards exposed, moving parts for their protection; some areas, however, cannot be guarded or shielded in order to assure proper operation. In addition, the operator's manual and Decals on the machine itself warn of further danger and MUST be read and observed closely. The safety alert symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! It stresses an attitude of "HEADS UP" for safety and it will be found throughout this manual and on the machine itself. Remember: The careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents are caused by human error. Certain precautions must be observed to prevent the possibility of injury or damage. The words CAUTION, WARNING and DANGER, used herein and on the machine itself, signal three degrees of hazard. CAUTION is used for a general reminder of good safety practices or to direct attention to unsafe practices. WARNING is used to denote a specific potential hazard. DANGER is used to denote the most serious specific potential hazard. Please read the rules listed below for safe operation BEFORE you operate this equipment. MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE Work of any type on machinery is always more dangerous when the machine is operating. Therefore, unless otherwise expressly instructed to the contrary, BEFORE cleaning, adjusting, lubricating or servicing this machine, the following MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE should AL WAYS be followed: Shut the tractor engine off and remove the ignition key and take it with you before leaving the tractor seat to remedy the problem. BE SURE that tractor transmission is in "park" and/or lock the brakes. Only when you have taken these precautions can you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure to follow the above procedure could lead to death or serious bodily injury! BEFORE transporting the Wheel Rake on a public highway, take the time necessary to place the Rake in the "Transport" position! The Company does NOT sell replacement Tires. In addition, Tire mounting, service or inflation can be dangerous! Whenever possible, trained personnel should be called upon to service and/or mount Tires, following the Tire manufacturer's instructions. If you do NOT have such instructions, contact your tire dealer or the Company. In any event, follow the safety precautions described in the Maintenance & Service chapter! ALW A YS follow state and local regulations regarding use of a safety chain and auxiliary lighting when towing farm equipment on a public highway! A safety chain should always be used to retain the connection between the towing and towed machines, in the event of separation of the primary attaching system! BE SURE to check with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. ALWAYS use a locking hitch pin for securing the implement drawbar to the tractor drawbar! Wheel-Rake operation is a function of the travel of the tractor; to STOP the Rake, STOP the tractor! The operator MUST be seated on the tractor seat at all times while operating this machine! BE SU RE to review and comply with ALL Safety recommendations set forth in tractor operator's manual! 8

11 SAFETY (Continued) AL W A VS wear Safety Glasses with Side Shields when striking metal. In addition, it is recommended that a softer (non-chipable material) be used to cushion the blow. Failure to heed could result in serious injury to the eye(s). or other part(s) of the body. Do NOT allow minors to operate or be near this machine unless properly supervised! Do NOT allow personnel other than a qualified tractor operator near this machine! NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid leaks; use a piece of cardboard. Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and can penetrate the skin and cause a serious injury! If any fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor at once! Injected fluid MUST BE surgically removed by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or gangrene may result! Do NOT wear loose or baggy clothing when operating this machine! REMEMBER! It is the owner's responsibility for communicating information on the safe use and proper maintenance of this machine! 9

12 OPERATION A CAUTION: BEFORE starting the tractor. engine and operating the Finger Wheel Rake for the first time, review and comply with ALL SAFETY recommendations set forth in the SAFETY chapter of this manual. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN In an emergency or in case material or a foreign object becomes lodged in or between the Finger Wheels, stop Rake operation IMMEDIATELY by stopping tractor forward movement. A C~U':rION: Following the MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE, shut the tractor engine off and remove the ignition key and take it with you before leaving the tractor seat to remedy the problem. GENERAL INFORMATION (Figs. 5-1, 5-2 & 5-3) CHAPTER 5 the 3-point linkage drawbar with the tractor's hydraulic control lever stop, as applicable. After the Drawbar is connected, plug the Hydraulic Lift Control Cylinder Hose Quick Disconnect into an appropriate remote outlet on the tractor. The GEHL 217 and 219 Finger Wheel Rakes are suitable for raking hay, straw, grass, etc. Both models feature two large diameter ground Wheels, one adjustable and one free to pivot. The setting of the Adjustable Wheel establishes the working width of the Rake. The position of the Rake, with respect to the tractor, is determined by the Drawbar connection to the tractor. Best maneuverability is achieved by coupling the Drawbar directly to the swinging hitch drawbar of the tractor or to an aligning hole in the 3-point linkage drawbar. Fig. 5-2: Drawbar in "Transport" Position Proceed to adjust the Rake width, following details in the Adjustments chapter or place the Rake in the "Transport" position, for highway travel, following details under the next topic. Fig. 5-1 MOUNTING TO TRACTOR (Fig. 5-3) It is advisable to attach the 217 or 219 to the swinging hitch dra wbar of the tractor with a locking hitch pin at a height of 16" (405 mm) from the ground. For tractors that do NOT have a swinging hitch drawbar, the Rake Drawbar can be hooked onto the tractor 3-point linkage drawbar in the same manner, provided it is stabilized from moving sideways. Fix the height of Fig. 5-3: Rake Connected to Tractor Swing Hitch Drawbar TRANSPORTING (Figs. 5-4 &5-5 &see Figs. 5-1, 5-2 &5-3) A CAUTION: BEFORE transporting the Rake over a public highway, make sure that the Rake is ahached to the tractor with a locking hitch pin and that the Finger Wheels are raised to the transport position and that the Lift System is locked in the Transport position. 10

13 When desired or where required, a safety chain should also be obtained and used as a secondary coupling between the tractor and Rake Drawbar. RAKE OPERATION (Figs. 5-6 thru 5-10) Operation for either model Rake is quite similar with the 219 model having two additional Finger Wheels extending from the end ofthe Main Frame to provide a nominal 64" (1625 mm). of additional raking width. The way both model Rakes are setup, the Finger Wheels will rotate to the right (clockwise) and the crop will traverse from right to left. Fig. 5-4: Lift System Locked in "Transport" Position For transporting either model Rake on a public highway, first bring the Finger Wheels to their maximum raised position by fully extending the Hydraulic Lift Cylinder. Then, install the Transport Pin. through the hole in the Lift Tube and secure it with the Lock Pin. Next, move the Adjustable (Steering) Wheel to the Transport position and lock it in this position. Then, move the Drawbar to its narrowest setting. BE SURE the Parking Stand is placed in the storage position BEFORE proceeding to transport the Rake. Fig. 5-6 Finger Wheel pressure on the ground is most important to achieving clean raking. Iftoo much pressure is applied against the ground, unnecessary dirt and trash will be brought into the windrow. Although either model Rake has a considerably large working width, when working in grass or hay, it is recommended that the windrow is made NO larger than the pickup capacity of the baler or harvester. In straw or other light, crops, the maximum width can be utilized. Fig. 5-5: Adjustable (Steering) Wheel Locked in "Transport" Position A CAUTION: Because of the overall length of either model Rake, BE SURE to install and use a Slow-moving Vehicle Emblem (SMV) using the Emblem Mounting Bracket provided. For raking with either model Rake, it is advisable to start in the center of the field and rake in a counterclockwise direction. To make the first windrow, place the Adjustable Wheel in hole position B. After t)ie first pass, use the Hydraulic Lift Cylinder to raise the Finger Wheels. Then, turn around, lower the Finger Wheels and, rake the second and first windrows into one combined windrow. Reposition the Adjustable Wheel to hole position C or D, for a wider raking width and proceed to rake the rest of the field. At the end, rake the headlands. 11

15 TMENTS CAUTION: BEFORE proceeding to make any adjustments on the Finger Wheel Rake, BE SURE to follow the MANDATORY SAFE TY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE and place the tractor transmission in park and/or lock the brakes, to shut off the engine and, to remove the ignition key and take it with you BEFORE leaving the tractor seat. GROUND PRESSURE (Fig. 6-1) NOTE: Proper Finger Wheel pressure on the ground is an important factor for achieving clean raking. Too much pressure will cause undue stress on the Finger Wheel Tines and cause unnecessary dirt and trash to be brought into the windrow. The Finger Wheels are linked to the Frame by Rake Arms. BE SURE that the Rake Arms are free to pivot and proceed to adjust the ground pressure in the following manner: CHAPTER 6 WORKING WIDTH (Figs. 6-2, 6-3 & 6-4) The Rake working width is set with the Adjustable Wheel. The Rake position, with respect to the tractor, is adjusted with the Drawbar. It is recommended that the Drawbar be attached to the swinging hitch of the tractor. For optional hookup to the 3-point linkage drawbar of the tractor, the Rake can be connected in a hole farther to the right to obtain a better tractor-rake tracking and alignment. 1. Place the tractor and connected Rake on a flat base. 2. Connect the Lift Cylinder Hose to the tractor remote outlet. Fig Lower the Finger Wheels until they just touch the ground. Fig. 5-3: Drawbar Latched in "Transport" Position 4. Check the ground pressure of each Finger Wheel by lifting each Finger Wheel assembly. 5. Adjust the anchor point of the Lift Spring to the appropriate Chain Links position to balance all the Finger Wheels evenly. While raking, the ground pressure is correct if the crop is raked away cleanly. Too great a ground pressure will tend to distort the windrow, cause dirt to get into the crop and cause undue Tooth wear. Fig

16 MAINTENANCE & SERVICE HARDWARE (Fig. 7-1) After the first hour of operation, check all attaching hardware, especially in the areas of the Tine anchor bolts and Finger Wheel Hubs. Hardware torques should be checked' on a routine basis after every 10 hours of operation. CHAPTER 7 Check the Rake Tire pressure after every 50 hours of operation. Tires should be inflated to 28 PSIG (196 kpa). Wheel Bolt torques should also be checked after every 50 hours of operation and tightened with 110 ft-ib (150 Nm).torque. Fig. 7-1 LUBRICATION (Figs. 7-1 thru 7-4) To maintain proper operation, all revolving parts and hinge points MUST move smoothly and be kept well lubricated. Grease the following points at regular 10 hour intervals: 1. Adjusting Wheel 2. Pivoting Wheel Oil the following points at regular 10 hour intervals: 3. Parking Stand 4. Pivot points of the Rake Arms (7 or 9 Places) 5. Lift Rod Pivot Points 6. Drawbar Pivot Points 7. Drawbar Pin TIRES & WHEELS (See Figs. 7-2 & 7-3) A CAUTION: Our Company does NOT sell replacement Tires. In addition, Tire mounting, repair and replacement should ONLY be attempted by a qualified tire manufacturer's representative or by properly trained personnel following the tire manufacturer's instruction. If you do NOT have such instructions, contact your tire dealer or the Company. Fig. 7-2: Adjustable Wheel A WARNING: Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should be called to service andl or mount tires. In addition, do NOT place fingers on tire bead during inflation; serious injury or amputation could result! In any event, to avoid possible fatal or serious injury, follow the safety precautions below: BE SURE the Rim is clean and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire beads and rim flanges with a soap solution. Do NOT use oil or grease. Use a clip-on tire chuck with a remote hose and gauge which allows you to stand clear of the tire while inflating it. NEVER inflate beyond 35 PSI (240 kpa) to seat the beads. If beads have NOT seated by the time the pressure reaches 35 PSI, deflate the assembly, reposition the tire on the rim, relubricate both parts and reinflate it. Inflation pressure beyond 35 PSI with unseated beads may break the bead or rim with explosive force sufficient to cause fatal or serious injury. After seating the beads, adjust the inflation pressure to the recommended operating pressure listed. Do NOT weld, braze, or otherwise attempt to repair and use a damaged rim. 14
