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. - Danger: folding parts. Keep away from the folding areas of parts.
1 INTRODUCTION The LELY HIBISCUS 1015 CD Profi (fig.1) is a pull-type, twin-rotor cam rake for central delivery. The machine has 2 rotors with 15 tine arms, each equipped with 5 double tines. The tines give a clean sweep and move the grass to the centre in an airy windrow.
innovators in agriculture 2 LINKAGE TO THE TRACTOR Link the machine to the tractor as follows: - Adjust the tractor’s three-point-hitch arms at an equal height. - Fit the lower arms to the linkage pins (cat. II / III) of the headstock (fig.
innovators in agriculture 3 TRANSPORT The HIBISCUS rake can be transported by the tractor after it has been adjusted to the transport position. The transport width is 3.0 m. Adjust the machine to the transport position as follows: - To reduce the transport height of the HIBISCUS rake to 3.90 m, the 4 outer tine arms of each rotor can be demounted and stored in the holder fitted on top of the rotor (fig.
innovators in agriculture 4 MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS Ensure that no-one is near the machine when it is switched from the transport position to the working position. Put the machine into the working position as follows: - Pull the control cord of the hydraulic system or press the button on the control box and operate the tractor's double-acting valve.
innovators in agriculture Working height - Adjust the rotor in a horizontal or slightly oblique (forward) position by means of the height adjustment system of the front swivel wheels. If the required height cannot be obtained with the help of the wind handle or hydraulic adjustment, try this by adjusting the wheels to any of the 6 possible positions.
innovators in agriculture 5 OPERATING THE HIBISCUS • Ensure no-one is near the machine at the moment the PTO is engaged. • Do not allow anyone to come within a 25 m radius of the machine during operation. • Stop the tractor engine before leaving the tractor cab. •...
innovators in agriculture Forward speed and PTO speed Select a forward speed and PTO output (450-500 r.p.m., max. 540 r.p.m.), which will ensure a good, clean windrow. If the rotor speed is too high, the tines may release the crop too late. As a result, lumps of material will be scattered behind the machine.
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 - Apply grease to all nipples on the machine every forty working hours, as depicted in figure 18. 40 h - Apply a bit of grease to the bearing in the top of the rotor gearbox (fig. 19) every 100 working hours. Too much grease may damage the seals.
innovators in agriculture Periodic maintenance 275 kPa Periodic maintenance must be carried out: (2.75 bar) • 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 §...
innovators in agriculture - Check whether all safety decals are on the machine and not damaged (fig. 23). (P/N 9.1170.0408.0) (P/N 9.1170.0407.6) -2x- (P/N 9.1170.0420.5) -2x- (P/N 9.1170.0125.4) (P/N 9.1170.0437.1) -2x- (P/N 16.61.175) -3x- Changing oil in gearboxes Change the oil in the gearboxes of a new rake (or after assembly of a new gearbox) for the first time after approximately 30 working hours and every 250 working hours thereafter.
Supplement A innovators in agriculture HYDRAULIC SYSTEM A.1 Adjustment of ground pressure relief system Standard adjustment of the ground pressure relief system is 5.0 MPa (50 bar). However, it may be necessary to re-adjust this standard pressure if the wheels underneath the rotors show too much compaction on grounds with insufficient bearing power, or if the rotors do not follow the ground contours properly.
Supplement C innovators in agriculture OPTIONAL EXTRAS Stabilisation chain The correct height of the hydraulic linkage is essential for the machine’s freedom of movement. It should therefore be maintained after initial adjustment. For tractors that do not have a consistent linkage height, a stabilisation chain can be supplied to steady the lower linkage position.
