  • Page 32: Operating Principle

    3.4 OPERATING PRINCIPLE The rotary windrower rakes is equipped with the reduction gearing driven by the tractor PTO. The torque is transferred through transfer shafts. The reducer's design ensures the rotation movement of the raking assembly in an anticlockwise direction. The gear's cam mechanism enables the rotation of individual arms, due to which the springtine fingers are lowered or raised according to current setting.

    4.1 PREPARING FOR WORK BEFORE FIRST USE The manufacturer guarantees that the windrower is fully operational and has been checked according to quality control procedures and is ready for normal use. This does not release the user from an obligation to check the machine's condition after delivery and before first use.
  • Page 35 Engage rake drive for several minutes, and check the following: • there is no knocking or noise in the drive system arising from scraping or grinding of metal elements, • proper rotation of raking system, • proper action of cam mechanism (raking fingers should be lowered and raised according to current arm position).

  • Page 36: Technical Inspection Of Windrower

    If any faults are detected they must be identified and rectified. If a fault cannot be rectified or the repair could void the guarantee, please contact retailer for additional clarifications. 4.2 TECHNICAL INSPECTION OF WINDROWER When preparing the windrower for normal use, check individual elements according to guidelines presented in table (4.1).

  • Page 41 The forming guard is the barrier for the raked swath. Thanks to the swath is formed into an even windrow of the required width. When setting the guard observe the principle that the greater the swath then the wider the working width, and the other way round, the lower the quantity of swath then the barrier distance should be less.

  • Page 44: Raking

    DANGER Before connecting the shaft, turn off the tractor's engine and remove the key from the ignition. Ensure that unauthorised persons do not have access to the tractor. The use of articulated telescopic shaft and its technical condition must be in accord with the operating instructions of articulated telescopic shaft.

    into windrow. Allowable revolution speed of articulated telescopic shaft is 540 revs/min however recommended speed is about 450 revs/min. With a very dry swath it is recommended that PTO shaft speed should be reduced even further. IMPORTANT! Do NOT start windrower with PTO revs speed higher than 540 revs/min. The revolution speed of the shaft and the speed of travel depend on several factors, including size of swath, degree of moisture, length of swath, type of ground, therefore the selection of appropriate working parameters rests on the person operating the windrower.

  • Page 50 The first oil change should be made after 50 hours of windrower work and the next change should be after 500 hours or once a year. During normal operation, lubrication of the entry shaft and the windrower's height regulation screw is also required – consult section "Lubrication”. If a leak is noticed, carefully inspect seals and check oil level.
  • Page 51 Tyres should undergo conservation maintenance at least twice a year using the appropriate preparations designed for this purpose. Complete wheels and tyres should be previously carefully washed and dried. During longer storage of unused windrower it is recommended that every 2 to 3 weeks the trailer may be moved a bit so that the place of contact of tyres with ground is changed.
