NOTICE
The forkhead (2) performs rapid
reciprocating movements during
operation. Take care not to damage
branches with the forkhead. Do not force
branches between the rakes (3).
Working Technique
Use the following working technique to
obtain best results and good
performance from the harvester:
Accelerate the engine and comb the
N
branches with the rakes. Use the
throttle trigger to obtain the optimum
rake stroke rate.
Keep the throttle open only as long
N
as the rakes are engaged in the
branches.
Do not accelerate the engine when
N
the rakes are not engaged in the
branches.
Reposition the rakes in the next
N
section of the tree.
Repeat this process for all sections
N
of the tree.

Pay attention to the tree's limb
N
structure during operation:
Comb the lower section (A) from the
–
top downwards, this also applies for
drooping branches at the outer
extremities of the tree.
Comb the upper section (B) from
–
the bottom upwards.
Comb the tree from the inside
–
outwards, towards the tips of the
branches.
While combing the branches, turn
N
the rakes to and fro around the
shaft's axis (C) if necessary.
Have the whole tree even if there is
N
very little fruit left on it.
Do not hold the unit in one spot for
N
too long so as not to damage leaves
and branches unnecessarily.
Always shut off the engine before
N
leaving the unit unattended.
NOTICE
Operating the unit with broken and/or
missing tines (1) may result in damage
to gearbox components or overload
them. Therefore, do not continue using a
unit with broken and/or missing tines.
Operating the unit with broken and/or
missing tines reduces the unit's
harvesting performance.
Always replace damaged tines –
