Rotor pitch
The rotors are inclined transversely to the chassis. The rotor is already
inclined transversely ex-factory. If the crop is not picked up cleanly, the
raking quality can be improved by adjusting the rotor pitch.
The optimum raking quality is achieved when the tines in the front
working area and before the crop is deposited have the lowest
possible ground clearance (see adjacent illustration).
Adjusting the rotor
pitch
It is possible to adjust the position of the rotors laterally to the direction
of travel.
Use the tractor's hydraulic control device to fully raise the machine.
Close the ball valve.
Switch off the tractor and secure it.
Remove the tine supports above the right-hand wheel carrier.
Slightly loosen the three bolts on the wheel carrier.
Move the wheel carriers into the required position using the
adjusting screw (see illustration below).
Retighten the bolts to a tightening torque of 85 Nm.
Fit and secure the tine supports.
Close the ball valve
Close the ball valve before working on the machine or carrying out
any adjustment work. If the ball valve is open and there is an
operating error, the machine can lower itself and cause serious
injuries.
