Preparing for use

Rotor pitch

The rotor pitch is set by a adjusting the height of the running wheels:



Swing the machine into the headland position using the hydraulic
control device in the tractor.



Close the ball valve.



Switch off the tractor and secure it.



Undo the four bolts on the running wheel slightly.



Push the wheel carriers into the required position.



See »Overview of the rotor settings«, page 44.



Retighten the bolts.

4 x M12 bolts to
85 Nm

Close the ball valve

Close the ball valve before adjustment. If the ball valve is open
and there is an operating error, the machine can lower itself and
cause serious injuries.
