Working speed
Select a working speed (4 and 8 km/h) at which the crop is
distributed cleanly and evenly.
Spreading pattern
Depending on the crop, the spreading pattern is changed via the
following settings:
•
the rotor pitch,
•
the PTO stub shaft speed,
•
the working speed.
Rotor pitch
A steep inclination (14°) is ideal for tedding mown swathes.
A flat inclination (12°) is ideal for a crop which is almost dry.
Correct PTO stub shaft
speed
Too high a PTO stub shaft speed results in crumbling losses and
swath formation if the crop is dry. Too low a speed produces swath
formation.
High working speed
Too high a working speed produces uneven distribution and heap
formation.
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 width and length of the implement, the
machine reacts slowly and has an afterrun. Damage to the
machine may be caused as a result.
