Rotor pitch
The rotors are inclined transversely to the chassis. The rotor is already
inclined transversely ex-factory. If the crop is not picked up cleanly, the
raking quality can be improved by adjusting the rotor pitch.
Improved raking quality is achieved by adjusting the pitch of the rotor
until the tines in the front left working range have the lowest ground
clearance before depositing the crop (see illustration).
The rotor pitch is adjusted as follows:
Swing the machine into the headland position using the hydraulic
control device in the tractor.
Secure the rotors using supports.
Close the ball valve.
Switch off the tractor and secure it.
