ADJUSTMENTS
8) Finger / comb conditioner
(ALTERNA 400 / 500)
The comb, located above the rotor, has 5 different
positions. Each position corresponds to the extent to
which the comb prongs intersect with the trajectory of
the free swinging fingers. To gain access to the levers
(1) lift the belt guards (2).
- Lowering levers (1) increases conditioning inten-
sity.
- Raising levers (1) decreases conditioning intensity.
Do not forget to close hoods (2) after
having manipulated handles (1).
Other than these five positions, which govern
conditioning intensity, the comb has the advantage of
being reversible and has two different conditioning
surfaces (one for natural grasses and one for more
delicate crops).
Disassembling and reversing comb :
- Remove bolts (3) connecting lever (1, 1a) and pin
(4) to the comb.
- Pull out pin (4).
- Remove the comb from the top.
- Reverse the comb, aligning it with the mounting hole
of pin (4).
- Insert pin (4) into the end of the comb and secure in
place using bolts (3).
