4.3 Set-up of pick-up
4.3.1 Pick-up height
The pick-up is raised and lowered hydrauli-
cally being operated from the control panel’s
joystick keys.
The working height of pick-up is set using two
support wheels (right and left).
The height at which material is lifted up
cleanly is to be set in accordance with the
ground conditions and the quality of the bal-
ing material.
The distance between the tine tips at their
lowest position and the ground is the decisive
factor. Recommended clearance (a) is mini-
mum 2 cm for green crops and hay or maxi-
mum 7 cm for straw. The tines should not
come into contact with the ground to prevent
contamination of straw material and exces-
sive wear of tines.
The distance between the tines and ground is
set using 2 x 6 borings at the support wheel
stem stay (b). Ensure that the setting at the
right and left support wheel is the same.
4.3.2 Setting pick-up support wheel ground pressure
The ground pressure of the pick-up support
wheels can be set using the right- and left-
hand compensation spring (a). The springs
are compressed by the hydraulic cylinders of
the pick-up lift. The relief can be pre-set by
positioning the sliding clip (b) into one of the
four positions.
Reduced ground pressure is recommended
for soft ground in order to avoid damage to
surface. Set sliding clip to the rear position for
minimum ground pressure.
To shift the sliding clips into different posi-
tions, the pick-up must be raised to its limit.
4.3.3 Set pick-up baffle plate
Operating the machine
The function of the baffle plate is to hold
down the baling material in order to achieve
an even flow of material. The height of the
baffle plate can be adjusted using two chains
to suit the type of material and its volume.
