8.4 Headland position
This is where both rotor arms are elevated temporarily, to avoid other crop swaths at
field headlands, etc. when turning or manoeuvring. This is done by activating the single
acting hydraulic lever to raise the rotor arms until they hit the lift latch stops. NOTE: The
offset toggle switch must be in a central position on the control unit for both rotor arms
to raise together!
8.5 Offset headland (single rotor operation)
This allows even more refined control in tight corners or triangles as either the left (LH)
or right (RH) rotors can be elevated independently while the rotor on the ground
continues raking on one side only. This is done the same way as the previous headland
position, except the toggle switch (shown) on the control unit is pushed either left or
right to select which rotor should be raised. Once the offset headland work is complete,
the toggle switch should always be returned to the central neutral position.
