- Make sure you can change PTO speed. (Caution: this
is not synchronised).
- For a machine with a hydraulic unit, check whether the
gearbox can be set to neutral.
- Select a PTO speed (270 min

or 540 min
-1
).
- Align the tractor and the machine, then engage the
PTO drive and leave the tractor idling.
- Gradually increase the engine speed until the PTO
reaches 540 min
-1
.
- Start the beater bar then the conveyor (test in both
directions).
- Now check that the machine is running smoothly and
free from vibration.
- Reduce the engine speed once again until it is idling.
- Operate the hydraulically-controlled elements and
check that the machine is functioning properly.
Before using the machine for the first time
with a load, make sure that the tractor-
machine combination is in working order.
Make sure there are no foreign bodies inside
the machine.
If the machine is noisy or vibrating abnormally,
stop the PTO immediately and refer to the
troubleshooting section or contact your Kuhn
dealer. When the problem has been solved, start
the test procedure again from the beginning.
