3.1 Special safety instructions
Setting the working depth of swather disc tines
Setting the working depth of the swather disc tines is
carried out on the upper link arm (1). Move the rotary
tedder to working position on a level surface. Adjust the
rear hydraulic system to float position. Shorten or lengthen
the upper link arm until the distance "a" between the front
tines (2) and the ground is approx. 2 cm. The roller (3) of
the carrier bar must be resting at the back of the U-profile
(4) of the three-point frame.
This setting is a basic setting. In practice, the height setting
of the tines must be adapted ato the conditions.
•
The adjustments described here
must only be carried out when the
machine is at a complete standstill.
Switch off the engine and remove
the ignition key.
•
Secure the rotary tedder and tractor
from rolling.
•
When the rotary tedder is raised by
the rear hydraulic system, take
steps to prevent it from being
accidentally lowered!
Settings:
Remove the linch pin (1) and pull out the pin (2). Move
the wheel bracket (3) to the selected position between
position
I
and position
II
. Insert the pin again and
secure it with the linch pin.
Pin towards position
I
= steeper spreading angle
Pin towards position
II
= flatter spreading angle
Flat spreading angle II -> I:
- large intake width
- short crops
- crop lying out wide
- fodder weniger als 40%
Feuchtgehalt
Steep spreading angle I -> II:
- large output width
- long crops
- better spreading effect
for mown swaths
- wilted silage
- fodder mehr als 40%
Feuchtgehalt
Basic data for the spreading angle setting:
The settings for the spreading angle of
the tedder tines must be adapted to the
conditions of the ground and crop.
Adjustments are made on the under-
carriage wheels of the rotary tedder.
3.2 Spreading angle settings for the
swather discs
If the spreading angle is altered, then
the working depth adjustment of the
swather disk tines must be checked and
recalibrated.
