To swath, spread or turn over forage or similar, the star wheels must
be slightly inclined and the arms turned on their axes. Instructions are
given below.
D2.1 Adjusting the inclination of the wheels
The wheels are inclined by turning the moveable frame (as illustrated),
together with the arms and wheels, away from the fixed frame. The
moveable frame must be as illustrated for transport, with the handle pin in
hole 1 (and A below). To set up the moveable frame in its work
configuration, you need to turn it in either direction and align the hole for
the required inclination (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7) with one of the two holes on the
fixed frame (A or B), and fasten it in the required position by inserting the
handle pin. The higher the number of the required hole (from 2 to 7), the
lesser the inclination of the wheels and the narrower the swath.
D2.2 Work processes
The rake is extremely easy to use in that it just has to be hitched onto the
tractor and then trailed in the required direction. In this way, the teeth on
the wheels are pulled along the surface of the ground as the rake is trailed;
the turning effect of the wheels create swaths or turn or spread the cut
forage.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the moveable frame is unfastened before starting work. If it is
still fastened, you need to remove the R pin
(1) attached to the frame-locking device (2)
and pull the latter to free the moveable frame
from its respective stop. Lock the device in its
new position by inserting the R pin.
•
Collection (swathing): the position of
the arms and their support should be as
illustrated. In this configuration, the rake
creates regular, uniform swaths as shown
in the picture.
Note: as mentioned above, it is also
possible to create lateral swaths when
required (see step C of paragraph D2
“Operation and Use”).
Check for any people or animals in the
immediate vicinity before boarding the
tractor; if there are, ask them to move to
a safe distance. Sit in the driver’s seat,
start up the tractor, release the parking
brake and you can then start work.
