DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Fastening of rotary turner to tractor :
Always use stabilizer or tighten the chains in order to prevent the
lifting arms from moving sideways during raking and transport, in order
to protect the power transmission shaft.
The length of the power transmission shaft must be checked in wor-
king position as well as in transport position, and if necessary it shall
be shortened. This will only be necessary in a very few cases.
ADJUSTMENT FOR SPREADING AND TURNING
Place all pick-up springs in spread-turn position Pos 1 as
shown in the illustration. (Check that all are in the same
position).
Adjust wheels in lower or middle position
Pos 1 . The machine will now
be in its highest position.
The upper bar of the tractor
Pos 1 shall be fastened to the tree-point
suspension. Its length is correct, when the points of the pick-up
springs
Pos 2 just touch the stubbles in front of the rotors and these
go at full speed. The pick-up springs reach their lowest position at 450
rpm.
The swath collectors may be used separately or both at the same time
to keep the swaths separated. They are used to advantage along the
edges of a field
