OPERATION
70
STARTING UP
Before feeding crop through the forage harvester, the power-takeoff (PTO) should run at the required speed e.g. 540
or 1000 rpm as the case may be in order to prevent any material accumulation (clogging), breaking of the shear bolts
or slipping of the friction clutch.
The specified rotation speed (540 or 1000 rpm) should be maintained all along the harvesting period. However, it is
recommended to choose an adequate FORWARD ground speed to maintain a constant load on the harvester for best
performance.
IMPORTANT: Following the first two hours of field operation, the operator should check the entire machine to make
sure all bolts are securely tightened and for any oil leaks. Also, make sure all wheel bolts are properly tightened.
NOTE: Adequately sharpened knives and a correctly adjusted shear bar will increase the efficiency of the forage
harvester and cut quality.
STOPPING THE HARVESTER
Follow these instructions to properly stop the harvester:
1.
Set the transmission to NEUTRAL (See F-N-R TRANSMISSION SHIFTING on page 68)
2.
Disengage the PTO and stop the SCV flow
3.
Engage the tractor park brake and lock the harvester wheels
4.
Turn off the control box and tractor engine
IMPORTANT: If the tractor engine is turn off for several minutes, turn off the control box main switch to avoid
discharging the batteries.
METAL DETECTION PROCEDURE
When a ferrous object is detected, the alarm is activated and the feedrolls and header are stopped within
milliseconds, and the transmission shifted to NEUTRAL automatically. The transmission overload clutch will emit a
loud rumbling for a short time while the transmission shifts to Neutral. In this case:
1.
An intermittent alarm resounds (refer to the legend on the side of the control box). Stop the tractor and reduce
the engine speed.
2.
Make sure the transmission is in NEUTRAL.
3.
Stop the PTO and the tractor.
4.
Put on the park brakes and block the harvester wheels.
5.
Remove the key from the tractor and carry them with you.
6.
Wait that the rotating components have completely stopped.
7.
Manually remove the plants from the header (the metal that cause the alarm is not in this section of the machine).
8.
Turn the feedrolls rearward manually to free the crop caught between them. The metal part will be found in this
section. It may be difficult to locate the smaller metal part in the crop, or the part may have fallen to the ground or
between the bottom feedrolls.
9.
Initialize the detector (See page 68) and resume harvesting.
