General guidelines for working with the machine
- All work in the immediate area of the rotors may only be carried
out when the p.t.o. is switched off.
Caution!
Do not enter
rotor area while
driving motor is
running.
• Choose the speed of travel so that all crops are picked up
thoroughly.
- In cases of overloading, shift down one gear.
• Put tractor control device (ST) into "floating position
or lower".
The plungers of both lifting
cylinders can than move
freely enabling the rotor
units to adapt to the uneven
ground.
• Set height of lifting
gear (H1)
-
In order to obtain
tidy raking operation,
the rotor must be as
horizontal as possible.
A very slight inclination
forward is allowed.
Crank handle (8)
-
The tine height is adjusted using the crank handle (8). Tines
should lightly touch the ground.
An adjustment that is to deep will dirty the forage or damage
the turf.
- Check adjustment regularly during work operation.
Important points befor starting work
(see supplement-A1 points 1, 2, 3 and 4)
Safety hints
1. Turn p.t.o. on.
Turn the p.t.o. on only when all safety devices (coverings, protective
aprons, casings, etc.) are in proper condition and attached to the
implement in the correct protective positions.
2. Switch-on the machine only in working position and do
not exceed the prescribed power take-off speed (for
example max. 540 rpm).
a transfer, which is located near the gear, advises which p.t.o.
speed your machine is equipped for.
P.t.o. speed
- P.t.o. speed max. = 540 rpm
The most favourable p.t.o. rpm is
about 450 rpm.
- Should the forage be pulled back from the swath into the raked
strips (untidy operation), then the p.t.o. rpm is to be reduced.
- The curved track for tine arm control can be adjusted (optimum
use of the tine control).
- Tractor's lower link (U) must be set so that there is no sideways
play in order to prevent tedder from swinging back and forth.
Turning manœuvre in working position
The rotors can be swung up (pos. H1) using the single action
servo-valve (ST). The drive must not be turned off for this.
Caution!
Do not enter rotor area while driving motor is
running.
