    4 MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS Put the machine into the working position as follows: - Unblock the effect of the rams by opening the ram valves. - Slide the tine arms onto the rotor (fig. 6). - Pull out the locking bar and fold down the protection guard. Then slide the bar back into the locked position and check that it is properly secured.
  • Page 13: Cam Track Adjustment

    Cam track adjustment Rising and descending of the tines that are fitted on the tine arms is ensured by the cam track. By adjusting this system, rise and descent moments can be changed. Correct adjustment depends upon crop/terrain conditions and forward speed.
  • Page 14 By using only part of the full working width, smaller night swaths can be made (fig. 12). If fuller windrows are required, double swaths (fig. 13) or multiple swaths (fig. 14) can be made. E-12...

    If some crop is left in the middle behind the machine (fig. 15), the draw bar ramshould be shortened until the crop material is taken up effectively. In case the crop is not effectively taken up on the sides (fig. 16), the draw bar ram has to be extended whilst -if need be- the height adjustment or cam track should be corrected.
