Single rotor operation (variant)
To be able to work more efficiently at the field boundary, it
is possible to bring one rotor to the headland position and
continue working with the other rotor.
Raising a rotor
1. Select the chosen rotor by moving lever S1 on the
single-rotor control unit to the right or left position.
2. Raise the preselected rotor by setting control unit 1
(single-acting) of the tractor to "Raise".
Working with the other rotor
1. Set the tractor control unit to neutral to prevent the
2nd rotor from also being raised.
2. Preselect the lowered rotor by bringing lever S1 on
the single-rotor control unit to the relevant position.
3. Set the tractor control unit 1 (single-acting) to floating
position
Raising the other rotor
1. Preselect the lowered rotor on the single-rotor control
unit (S1). Normally, this rotor is already selected
because it has been used for work.
2. Raise the preselected rotor by setting control unit 1
(single-acting) of the tractor to "Raise".
Note:
With the optionally available flow divider:
Always select the specific rotor arm to
be raised, otherwise with the lever S1 in
middle position, the 2nd rotor arm will
be raised very slowly.
Lowering the raised rotor
1. Select the raised rotor by bringing lever S1 on the
single-rotor control unit to the relevant position.
2. Lower the preselected rotor by bringing tractor control
unit 1 (single-acting) to floating position.
Note: Set the single-rotor control lever
(S1) to middle position so as to lower the
second rotor at the same time. Because
the tractor hydraulic system is already
in floating position, the second rotor will
also be lowered.
Note: If both rotors are to be brought to
the transport position at the same time,
then start raising to transport position
only when both rotor arms have the same
position. (working or headland position).
Otherwise the lower rotor arm will not
reach transport position.
Control unit Single rotor control unit
Use the operating unit of the single-rotor control unit to
preselect the rotor. The rotor to be controlled by control
unit 1 can be set with lever S1.

The working width is changed via the dual-acting hydraulic
connection.
Set the working width only in headland position.
Any position can be chosen between the minimum working
width (1) and the maximum working width (3). Position (2)
is the free-travel position and it is important when opening
the transport locks.
Note: When adjusting the working width,
pay attention to the sliding limiter.
Note: The minimum working width (1) may
not be exceeded in the working position
and headland position.
To be able to fold the protection bars before
setting the reduced transport height, set the
working width on maximum (4). Otherwise
the protection bar may collide with the rotor
arm when it is folded. Caution: crushing
hazard!
Be advised!
Changing from
working to trans-
port position is
only to be carried
out on flat, firm
ground.
Ensure that the
swivel area is
clear and that
nobody is stand-
ing in the danger
area.
Be ad-
vised!
Switch the cardan
shaft drive on
only when there
is nobody in
the danger area
and once all the
protective devices
have been at-
tached.
Note:
For a rake with flow
divider, always
select the rotor
to be raised via
the single rotor
control unit.
