Rotor angle is adjustable in 2 different positions :
1) Maximum working angle is obtained when handle (L) is facing upwards (photo 18).
2) Minimum working angle is obtained when handle (L) is facing downwards (photo 19).
Maximum working angle should be used for first cut (normal or particularly dense crops).
For second and third cuts (medium density and light crops) the minimum working angle position should be used.
To change the machine from the transport position to
the work position, proceed as follows :
- Lower the machine on the ground,
- Unlock pendulum arm,
- Free the outside rotors by releasing locks (L). Next
turn these rotors 180° so that their tines point towards
the outside. Make sure that the locks (L) will
automatically lock into the working position (photo
17).
- Activate the tractor hydraulics to put hydraulic
cylinders (V) under pressure.
- Release locks (R) (photo 17) from the tractor seat by
pulling cord (C).
- Lower the outside rotors by releasing pressure.
When tedding, the tractor 3-point linkage should always
be in the free floating position.
Never engage the tractor PTO when
the outside rotors are folded into
transport position.
