Designation, Operation, Function

For example:
- accident,
- alien substance in the stock (irrigation tube, gas tube, etc.) which got into the
adapter,
- overburden (the safety switches get released),
- clogging, blockage,
- other breakdown, machine fault,
WARNING!
The adapter has no specific emergency stop system, its emer-
gency stop is activated from the operator box of the combine.
Respect by all means the instructions on combine related to
emergency stop of the adapter!
During operation of adapter it is FORBBIDEN to leave the oper-
ator box!
Non-conform use:
- The direction of harvesting does not correspond with the direction of sowing:
The adapter is only suitable for harvesting in the direction of sowing (row de-
pendant). In case of incorrect use (direction of sowing and harvesting not the
same, row distance of corn is not suitable) the harvesting parameters deterio-
rate greatly (increasing loss of grains, on-adequate quality of shredding).
- The adapter passes too high during harvesting:
The shredder is fixed too stiffly to the adapter so if the distance between the
skid plate and the ground is more than 15 cm, the shredding function is deteri-
orating greatly (high stubble-field).
- The adapter is not used to harvest corn:
In case of harvesting other plants (e.g. sunflower) the consequence is a great
loss of grains and a negative effect on the lifetime of the machine. (The adapt-
er becomes capable of harvesting sunflower with greatly decreased negative
effects if it’s equipped with a sunflower kit.)
- Excessive harvesting velocity:
The normal harvesting velocity of the adapter is 7-8 km/h, without any trans-
formation it can operate with 11-13 km/h velocity. Higher speed results in grain
loss and non-adequate shredding.
