General guidelines on working with the
machine
The p.t.o must be switched off before performing any work
in the rotor area.
Be advised!
Do not enter the working area or the area
around the rotors while the drive motor
is still running.
- Select the driving speed that picks up all the harvested
crop cleanly.

From transport position to working
position

Take note:
Lowering the rotors should be completed
in one movement especially in hilly areas.
Otherwise, stuttered raising/lowering of
individual rotors can occur in the short-
term. Increased danger of tipping!
After control unit 1 has been brought
to the neutral position, there could be
compensating movements by the rotor
arms.
Lowering the rotor
1. Release the locking bolt while simultaneously:
a. Setting the control unit 1 (rotor arms) to "Raise"
b. Pulling on the rope (or pushing the comfort-control
button)
Be advised!
Danger from ro-
tating tines. Turn
the swath rake off
before leaving the
cabin.
Ensure that nobody
is near the rake
during operation.
Note that danger
may also exist
from ejected cut-
tings and stones.
Stop work immedi-
ately as soon as
anybody enters
the danger zone.
Be advised!
Ensure that nobody
is in the dan-
ger area before
starting the swath
rake.
Be advised!
Changing from
working to trans-
port position is
only to be carried
out on flat, solid
ground.
Ensure that the
swivel area is
clear and that
nobody is stand-
ing in the danger
area.
2. Unlock the transport safety flap by setting control unit
2 (double-acting) to "Raise".
Do not raise further than the free-travel
drive position (F) or else the flap will fall
back down. If the flap falls down, move
control unit 2 down again and push the
transport safety flap back up.
STOP
F
Note:
The rotor arms will stop lowering if the rope
is pulled or the comfort-control button
is pushed while the rotor arms are being
swivelled from the transport position to
the headland position.
3. Swivel rotor arms in working position by moving control
unit 1 (single-acting) to floating position.
Note:
The lowering speed of both rotor arms
can be set using the throttle (1) on the
relative lifting cylinder.
1
Ensure the lowering speed for both rotor
arms is equally set .
