Important points befor starting work
1. Turn p.t.o. on.
Turn the p.t.o. on only when all safety devices (coverings,
protective aprons, casings, etc.) are in proper condition
and attached to the implement in the correct protective
positions.
2. Switch-on the machine only in working posi-
tion and do not exceed the prescribed power
take-off speed (for example max. 540 rpm).
A transfer, which is located near the gear, advises which
p.t.o. speed your machine is equipped for.
P.t.o. speed
-
P.t.o. speed max. = 540 rpm
The most favourable p.t.o. rpm is
about 450 rpm.
- Should the forage be pulled back from the swath into
the raked strips (untidy operation), then the p.t.o. rpm
is to be reduced.
Hydraulic control device (ST)
- Put hydraulic control device (ST) into "free gear" (
fl
oating
position or "lower").
General guidelines for workingwith the
machine
Caution!
Do not enter rotor area while driving
motor is running.
- Choose the speed of travel so that all crops are picked
up thoroughly.
- In cases of overloading, shift down one gear.
- In order to obtain tidy raking operation, the rotor must
be as horizontal as possible. A very slight inclination
forward is allowed.
- The tine height is adjusted using the crank handle (8).
Tines should lightly touch the ground. An adjustment
that is to deep will dirty the forage or damage the
turf.
Setting the feeler wheel (optional equipment)
- The tine height is set by inserting the linch pin in the
relevant position.
Tines should lightly touch the ground.
An adjustment that is to deep will dirty the forage or
damage the turf.
