innovators in agriculture PREFACE This Operator’s Manual is meant for personnel who operate the machine and are responsible for its daily maintenance. Kindly read this entire manual prior to starting work. Instructions relating to your safety and/or that of others are marked in the margin by a warning triangle containing an exclamation mark.
- Observe prevailing legislation for public road transport. - Use flashing lights or other safety signs, when required. - Do not stand on the machine. - Use genuine LELY parts only. - Depressurise the hydraulic systems before starting work on them and/or before coupling/uncoupling hydraulic hoses.
innovators in agriculture EXPLANATION OF SAFETY DECALS ON THE MACHINE - Read the operator’s manual carefully before operating the machine. Observe instructions and safety rules during operation. - Danger! Moving parts. Stay clear of rotating machine parts. - Never allow the machine to operate at a PTO speed greater than 540 r.p.m.
1 INTRODUCTION The LELY ROTONDE 510 CD (fig.1) is a trailed, twin-rotor cam rake for central delivery. The rotors of the ROTONDE rake are equipped with 10 double, horizontal tines. The tines give a clean sweep and move the grass to the centre in an airy windrow.
innovators in agriculture 3 TRANSPORT The ROTONDE rake can be transported by the tractor after it has been adjusted to the transport position. The transport width is 3.0 Put the machine into the working position as follows: - Fold the machine's safety guards upwards. - Fold the tines upwards and place them behind the curtain (fig.

When the tractor is stationary, the ROTONDE rake must be lifted if the working width is adjusted. Swath width The swath width of the ROTONDE 510 CD rake is adjustable from 1.0 until 1.5 m. - Adjust the swath boards in the desired swath width.

innovators in agriculture Also use this procedure if the crop is compacted on the ground. This will ensure that the crop underneath the windrows is also pulled apart. In the case of crop that has been tedded, any desired working width can be used for windrowing (fig.

innovators in agriculture The ROTONDE rake is also suitable for combining straw windrows made by a combine (fig. 13). The working width along with the windrowing width of the combine may not exceed approximately 5.10 m. This significantly reduces the operating time of a baler. working width combine Swaths can also be moved with the ROTONDE rake.
innovators in agriculture Forward speed and PTO speed In addition to a correctly set-up machine, the forward speed and rotor r.p.m are also essential for obtaining a good and clean raking result. - Select a forward speed and PTO output (430-470 r.p.m., max. 540 r.p.m.), which will ensure a good, clean windrow.
innovators in agriculture 7 MAINTENANCE • Correct machine servicing is vital for ensuring reliable and safe operation. Maintenance after operation - Clean the machine thoroughly. - Grease the machine with an anti-corrosion agent. Pay special attention to the tines. Smooth tines without any rust stimulate an unhampered crop flow.

innovators in agriculture - Grease the gears in the rake wheel gearboxes every 8 working hours (fig. 18). Continue turning the rake wheels bit by bit to ensure the grease is distributed effectively all over the gears. - Grease the hinges of the swivel wheels every 40 working hours (fig.
innovators in agriculture Periodic maintenance Periodic maintenance must be carried out: • at the start of the raking season; • before prolonged storage of the machine; • when the machine is used extensively during the season. - Grease all points of the machine listed in § 7.2 “Lubrication”. SHELL ALVANIA WR-0 - Grease the spring-loaded locking pins of the yoke lock of the PTO max.
