Maximum cardan shaft speed 540 rpm
The cardan shaft speed must not exceed 540 rpm and has to be ad-
apted to the condition of the crop. Higher speeds can cause damage
to the implement.
Please observe the following instructions when using the implement:
•
The tractor's PTO shaft must be switched on.
•
The working speed should be adjusted to the crop: between 4 and
15 km/h.
Switch on the
tractor's PTO shaft
Only engage the tractor's PTO shaft at a low engine speed.
> Switch on the tractor's PTO shaft.
> Adjust to 540 rpm.
> Lower the pick-up equipment via the control device.
Ground speed
Driving at a suitable ground speed ensures that the crop is collected
uniformly and constantly.
> Adapt the drive speed to the:
•
Quantity of crop,
•
Volume of the swaths,
•
The soil condition.
Driving pattern
The driving pattern is critical for the quality of the bale shape. Ensure
that the crop is picked up in a uniform manner. Where there are nar-
row swaths, do not swing backwards and forwards over the swath but
drive as shown in the diagram.
> Steer the implement so that the swath is guided into the pick-up
equipment alternately to the left and the right.
This ensures that the bale chamber is filled optimally.
> Check the filling process on a regular basis.
> When there is a visual or manual signal from the AutoPlus-Pilot-
box, the tying must be started manually or it starts automatically.
