14. Check and attach transport equipment such as lighting, 2.3.2 Power Take-Off Operation warning devices and any protective equipment! 1.Use only PTO shafts specified by the manufacturer! 15. Actuating mechanisms (cables, chains, linkages etc.) for remote controlled devices must be positioned in such 2.
9. Replacement parts must at least comply with the technical requirements set by the manufacturer of the implements! This is guaranteed when using genuine KRONE replacement parts! 10. Only use nitrogen for filling pneumatic accumulators - Risk of explosion!
2.3.6 Working in the Vicinity of Power Trans- mission Lines 1. Always take great care when working under or in the vicinity of power transmission lines. 2. When transporting the machine during operation, make sure that the total height does not exceed 3.5 m. 3.
2.4 Introduction The KRONE rotary swather is equipped with all necessary safety devices (protective equipment). Not all potentially dangerous positions on this implement can be fully secured, as this would be incompatible with full functional capability. You will find appropriate danger notification (= warning signs in yellow/black), indicating these residual risks.

Secure the tractor and rotary swather against rolling away! It is assumed in the following description, that after final assembly, the swather is in...
Preparing for Operation 3.3.2 Hydraulic connection • When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulics relieve all pressures from the system at either side. • When connecting the rapid action couplings, make sure that they are clean and dry. Soiling will result in leaks and damage.
Preparing for Operation 3.3.3 Lighting cable connection The lighting system is connected via the lighting plug (1). Establish the connection between tractor and swather with the 7-cord cable provided. • Connect lighting plug (1) to the lighting socket of the tractor.
Preparing for Operation 3.3.5 Function of the switches on the control unit (optional) The control unit can be used to preselect or control several functions of the swather. Please observe the following basic rules: Always activate one function only on the control unit.
Preparing for Operation 3.3.6 Connecting the PTO Shaft • Swing the PTO shaft holder (2) upwards. • Slide PTO shaft (1) onto PTO end. • Prevent shaft protection with holding chain from rotating with the shaft (wide angle at implement). A protective device must be used on the tractor and the machine.
Preparing for Operation 3.4 Transport of the swather on public roads • Before transporting the swather on public roads, check that the locks (1) have snapped correctly into the retaining pins. • When using public roads and paths, the appropriate illumination regulations should be observed.
Handling the swather when in use Handling the swather when in use 4.1 Mounting on the tractor • When attaching the rotary swather make sure that no-one remains between the implement and the tractor. • No-one may remain in the slewing range of the swather disk arms! As described in Point 3.3, attach the swather to the tractor, couple the universal drive shaft and secure.
Handling the swather when in use 4.3 Converting from transport to working position Before lowering the swather disk, make sure that the lateral guard bars (1) are turned inwards and no-one is within the slewing range of the swather disks! Do not run the swather disks in the transport position or with retracted guard bar!
Handling the swather when in use The swath former can be adjusted lengthways. This adjustment is necessary if feed falls forward past the swath former, for example. Pos.I To do this release screws (3), put the swath former into the desired position and tighten screws (3).
Handling the swather when in use 4.3.5 Folding the tine arms into working position Shut down the engine and remove the ignition key. Secure tractor and rotary swather against rolling away! Fold the tine arms from transport to working position. •...
Handling the swather when in use 4.4 Conversion from working to transport position • Before raising the swather disk above the working position, turn off the PTO shaft and wait until the swather disks comes to a stand still. ï Ensure that nobody is within the folding range of the rotors.
Handling the swather when in use 4.4.2 Folding the tine arms into transport position Shut down the engine and remove the ignition key. Secure tractor and rotary swather against rolling away! Fold the tine arms from working to transport position. First: •...
Handling the swather when in use 4.4.3 Pushing the swath cloth into transport position The swath cloth must be set while the rotor arms are lowered. The tractor engine must be turned off and the ignition key must be removed. The swath cloth must be pushed as far in as possible for transport (see photo).
Handling the swather when in use 4.4.5 Securing the tine tips (transport position and parked swather) Tines that are located below 2 m when the machine is in transport position or parked, must be secured with a tine guard. The tine guards are located on the rear chassis. •...
Handling the swather when in use 4.5 Removal from tractor • Make sure when setting down the swather disk, that the ground is even and firm! • Secure swather against rolling away before uncoupling! • Also observe all further safety instructions! •...
