7.
Progressively accelerate the turbine to 540 rpm; wait a few seconds for the spray
chute to empty, and then start the feed conveyor at its minimum speed.
8.
If possible slowly increase feed conveyor speed while checking that the straw folds
do not rise above the shredder hopper; if this happens, engage reverse briefly.
9.
In difficult situations, if for example the shredder takes too much straw and there is a
risk of clogging the turbine or the outlet chute, the shredder’s 4 adjustment teeth can
be adjusted by lowering them to position 2 or even 3 (8 x 16 mm bolts, 24 mm
spanner).
10.
To avoid clogging in difficult situations, it may be necessary to occasionally stop the
feed conveyor or reverse direction very briefly if the straw folds tend to rise in the
hopper above the shredder or if the shredder ingests too much straw.
11.
Throughout the initial part of the mulching, the door remains open.
12.
Move the outlet chute in the vertical plane to achieve even mulching.
Note:
If the straw blower is fitted with a rotating outlet chute, use this function to vary the
trajectory in the horizontal plane. Rotate it smoothly and carefully.
13.
During the second part of the mulching, as the bale is moved forward by the feed
conveyor, the door no longer bears the weight of the bale and should be
progressively closed for safety reasons so that the bale continues to advance on the
feed conveyor.
14.
On completion of mulching, reduce turbine speed.
SPREADING USING WRAPPED ROUND SILAGE BALES
Ensure that under no circumstances during operation does anyone enter the potential danger
areas around the blower unit or the trajectory of the spray chute.
1.
With the straw blower lowered onto the ground, tractor engine stopped, dismount
from the tractor cab.
2.
On the turbine gearbox, while stationary, select the spreading speed of 270 rpm, low
gear. See sticker near the PTO.
3.
Re-enter the cab.
4.
Tilt the straw blower forwards so that the bale is permanently in contact with the
shredder
5.
Turn the spray chute in the desired direction for spreading and raise it to maximum
height.
6.
If the wrapping tends to block the turbine outlet, the chute is set too low; increase its
height.
7.
Progressively accelerate the turbine up to 540 rpm, wait a few seconds for the spray
chute to empty, and then start the feed conveyor at its minimum speed.
