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.
Three-point slewing headstock "type N"
- Lift three point follower machine before going around sharp bends
and when reversing.
Beware!
Machine swings automatically back to central
position (M) when lifted and is locked into position.
Take care that the swinging machine does not
endanger anybody and does not hit solid obstacles.
When lowering the machine the locking devise is
automatically lifted.
Tractor control device (ST)
- Put tractor control device (ST) into "free gear" (floating position
or "lower").
In this way the rotors adapt to
uneven ground.
Operating on slopes
Take note! Machine with three-point slewing headstock
"type N"
If the implement is being raised by the lifting gear whilst travelling
in a curve, the implement swings automatically into the central
position. If working on slopes this can lead to dangerous situations,
partly due to the balance
weight of the implement
(tipping, slipping, material
breakage etc.).
The function of the shock
absorbtion struts is to allow
the swinging procedure to
be executed slowly and
continuously, not in jerks and jolts.
Shock absorbtion struts
(Optional extra)
Shock absorbtion struts (D) are
recommended for work on slopes
as they increase travel safety.
Adjustment
By turning the hexagonal nut (SK)
the initial tension of the disk spring
and, with that, the pressure on the
friction elements (R) on the rod can
be altered.
Adjustment
- Adjust length of upper link (9) so that rotors are inclined forward
and spring tines lightly touch the ground (see chapter "Adjustment
of rotor inclination" also). Check upper link (9) adjustment regularly
during work operation.
Setting lower link
- 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.
