Working speed
A constant working speed is essential for uniform crop processing. The
working speed should be set between 4 and 12 km/h (between 2.5 and
7.5 mph) at which the crop is picked up cleanly and completely. The
working speed depends on the machine settings, on ground and crop
conditions.
Select a working speed at which the crop is picked up cleanly and
completely.
Adjusting the
swath width
By extending the rotors, the swath width can be adjusted to suit the
crop volume and the swath type using the tractor’s double-acting
hydraulic control device.
For adjustment of the swath width, the machine should be in the
headland position. Otherwise, the machine may be damaged.
Move the machine to the headland position using the tractor's
single-acting control device.
Use the tractor‘s double-acting hydraulic control device to increase
the pressure in order to extend the swath width.
Use the tractor‘s double-acting hydraulic control device to
decrease the pressure in order to reduce the swath width.

WARNING
Prevent crossing swathes
As a general measure, prevent the crossing of mowing swathes.
The crop is distributed unevenly and the machine is subjected to
abrupt stresses. Damage to the machine may be caused as a
result.
Allow ample space when driving around obstacles
Obstacles must be circumnavigated in good time and at a
distance. Due to the large width and length of the machine, it
reacts slowly and tends to overrun. Damage to the machine may
be caused as a result.
