USE
All work in the immediate area of the rotors may only be
carried out when the p.t.o. is switched off.
Caution!
Do not enter rotor area as long as driving
motor is running
Make sure that working area is clear and
no-one is in the danger area.
Important points before starting work
(see supplement-A1 points 1, 2, 3 and 4)
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 position
and do not exceed the prescribed power take-
off speed.
A transfer, which is located near the gear, advises which
p.t.o. speed your machine is equipped for.
- Turn p.t.o. on in neutral
- Only turn p.t.o. on when machine is at least in the off-
road transport position
3. 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.
4. Operating speed
- 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.
5. Adjustments and checks
- Adapt tine height to ground conditions. Tines should
lightly touch the ground. An adjustment that is to deep
will dirty the forage or damage the turf.
- Check adjustment regularly during work operation.
- Check tyre pressure regularly!
- Check hydraulic hoses regularly and replace them if
they are damaged or brittle (Replacement Parts List).
- Check braking system thoroughly on a regular basis
- The fastening bolts must be checked at regular intervals
and be retightened where necessary.
- Check tines regularly for damage-free condition!
Install all tine arms onto both rotors.
- Place tine bearers onto rotor arms and secure with
linch pin.

General guidelines for working with the machine
Caution!
Stay clear of swinging area of implements
Danger of crushing. Keep your distance
Make sure that swivel area is free and that
nobody is standing in the danger area.
Wear hearing protection
The noise level in the working place can differ
from the measured values (see Technical
Data), particularly through the various
designs of the different tractor cabins.
• When a noise level of 85 dB(A) is reached or exceeded,
then the employer (farmer) must have suitable hearing
protection available (UVV 1.1 §2).
• When a noise level of 90 dB(A) is reached or exceeded,
then hearing protection must be worn (UVV 1.1 §
16).
Danger!
Danger of overturning on slopes for tractor
and machine with extended rotors
- Danger of overturning!
Caution!
Ensure the
towing vehicle’s
dimensions
are sufficient
particularly
axle load and
supporting load.
Adapt speed to
terrain
Danger!
No-one is
permitted in the
swivel range
when swivelling
the machine
Guide anyone out
of the danger area
Work on the
machine only
when motor is
turned off.
Caution!
Turn motor off and
remove ignition
key before any
adjustment, main-
tenance or repair
work.
Disconnect cardan
shaft from towing
vehicle.
