Preparations on the field
Safety
The following applies for all preparations on the field:
Observe safety instructions
Observe the safety instructions for the performance of all work. Any
disregard for safety instructions can lead to severe or fatal injuries to
persons.
Securing the tractor and the implement
•
Switch off and secure the tractor
•
Secure the implement against being accidentally started up and
rolling away (use wheel wedges)
•
The implement must be standing on level, firm ground
Unsecured implements can cause accidents.
Close the ball valves
Close the ball valves before setting. If the ball valves are open and
there is an operating error, the implement can drop or swing out. Se-
rious injuries can be caused.
Observe the slewing process
Observe the wheel rake and swath former during slewing. If the imple-
ment behaves unusually during the process, interrupt its operation im-
mediately to avoid damage.
There should be no persons standing in the slew range
While the implement is slewing out no personnel are allowed to be in
the slewing zone. Personnel can be caught by the implement and in-
jured.
General
After road transport the implement must be put in working position on
the field. The implement stands in transport position on a surface that
is as flat as possible.
The following work steps are described in this section:
•
Preselect the swath deposit
•
Put the tine supports onto the raking wheel and secure them
•
Pull out and lock the guard
•
Open the ball valve for lifting and lowering
•
Lower the implement to working position
•
Slewing to the full or individual swath position
•
Unfold the swath former
•
Adjust the swath width
•
Switch on the cardan shaft (540 rpm)
