Stay clear of rotating machine parts. • Danger of flying objects. Maintain a sufficient, safe distance from the machine as long as the tractor engine is running.

  • Page 10: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The LOTUS 1020, 1020 SA and 1020 OFFSET are 3-point linkage tedders with an effective working width of 10,20 m. A capacity up to approx. 14 ha/h can be achieved thanks to the massive working width and high forward speed at which the machine can be operated (up to 15 km/h).

  • Page 11: Mounting Behind The Tractor

    MOUNTING BEHIND THE TRACTOR • Fit the draw bar to the machine in such a position that the horizontal distance from the pivot point to the drive shaft approximately equals the distance between the tractor catch hooks and PTO (fig. 2). This results in an optimum distribution of the PTO shaft angle ensuring a steady run of the machine in bends.

  • Page 12: Folding The Machine Out (Working Position)

    - Place the tractor control levers in the floating position (if available) to ensure optimum ground contour following. LOTUS 1020 OFFSET: - Open the ball valve lever (turn to the left) of the ram on the draw bar (fig. 6) to engage the OFFSET position of the machine.

  • Page 13: Transport

    (blue connections - Lower the elements in their supports by means of the lever for the double acting valve (white connections LOTUS 1020 OFFSET: - The transport position is engaged fully automatically. The machine is released from the OFFSET position and assumes a central position behind the tractor.

  • Page 14: Machine Adjustments

    MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS 4.1 From transport to working position Make sure that nobody is near the machine when it is converted from the transport- to the working position. - Apply the lever of the single acting valve (blue connections) to lift the elements from their supports. - The rotors can be folded down by means of the lever of the double acting valve (white connections).

  • Page 15: Adjustment Of Rotor Angle

    4.4 Adjustment of rotor angle The angle of the rotors in respect of the ground should be such that the tines stroke the ground with a light pressure and that they take up the crop adequately. Deep adjustment causes undue strain which increases wear and tear as well as the risk of tine breakage.

  • Page 16: Operating The Machine

    OPERATING THE MACHINE • Make sure that nobody is near the machine at the moment the PTO is engaged. • Do not allow anyone to come within a 25 m radius from the machine during work. Stop the tractor engine before leaving the tractor cab. If the machine is newly commissioned: first carry out the check and maintenance duties which are specified in chapter 7.3 “Intermediate maintenance”...

  • Page 17: Forward Speed And Pto Speed

    5.2 Forward speed and PTO-speed Both pick-up and spreading of the crop are dependent on the forward speed and rotor RPM. • Select the highest possible forward speed (up to 15 km/h as a maximum). • Operate at the lowest possible PTO output (400 - 450 RPM) always ensuring that the crop is picked up effectively.

  • Page 18: Dismounting From The Tractor

    DISMOUNTING FROM THE TRACTOR The machine can be dismounted from the tractor both in the working and in the transport position. Proceed as follows: - Switch off the tractor engine. - Set the parking jack in the bottom position. - Lower the tractor hydraulics until the parking jack rests on the ground.
