Operation

Twin rotor operation

Central swath with two

rotors



Switch on the PTO shaft drive at low speed.



Select a driving speed at which the crop is picked up cleanly and
completely.

WARNING

Distance from the rotor

Maintain a safe distance from the rotor when it is rotating. Nobody
may remain in close proximity to the machine when rakes and
swathers are running. Otherwise, serious or fatal injury may be
caused as a result.
