  • Page 29: Operating Instructions

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Ensure no-one is near the Hibiscus at the moment the PTO is engaged. If anyone comes near the Hibiscus immediately stop the tractor and disengage the PTO. Switch off the tractor engine and remove the key before leaving the tractor cabin.

  • Page 30: Connect The Hibiscus To The Tractor

    Connect the Hibiscus to the Tractor Always connect the safety chain of the PTO shaft to a rigid part of the tractor. The maximum pressure of the hydraulic system is 210 bar (3045 Psi). During first assembly or when using another tractor, check the minimum and maximum overlap of the PTO shaft halves in all positions (Consult the instructions supplied with the PTO shaft and the instructions in chapter ‘First use’).
  • Page 31 Insert the plug of the lighting cable into the tractor socket and make sure the lights operate correctly. Make sure the safety chains can not touch the PTO shaft when these are connected between the Hibiscus and the tractor. Before driving on public roads: Connect the safety chains to the Hibiscus .

  • Page 37: Lift The Rotors To Turn On Headlands

    Lift the Rotors to turn on Headlands Never drive the machine through the crop while the rotors are on the ground and are not rotating. This may damage the tines and tine arms. When the Hibiscus is operated in the floating position the oil pressure in the system is disabled.

  • Page 38: Stop Raking

    Preparation Make sure the Hibiscus is properly adjusted before raking. If necessary: • Adjust the swath width (see page 7-1). • Adjust the working height (see page 7-2). Adjust the cam track (see page 7-5). • • Adjust the lifting and lowering speed (see page 7-6). Procedure Operate the single-acting valve of the tractor to move the Hibiscus to the headland position.

  • Page 42: Adjust The Working Height

    Adjust the Working Height When raking straw, the wheel height must be adjusted higher. When the tines take up crop within the raking movement, the tines bend increasingly rearwards as there is more crop in front of them. Consequently, the tine tips are moved higher from the ground. This can be compensated by adjusting the rotor height at the side of the swath board and in the direction of travel.
