DOUBLE-ROTOR RAKE OPERATOR’S MANUAL DWUKARUZELOWA NOTE: Use genuine manufacturer recommended tines only. 6.2. Setting rotor lifting sequence DUO In-line Rake's rotors can be set for proper lifting sequence. It is possible thanks to adjustable chokes located on rake's linkage. Chokes are part of rake's hydraulic assembly and control oil flow for powering each of four rake cylinders.
OPERATOR’S MANUAL DOUBLE-ROTOR RAKES Choke 4 Controls front lifted tiller speed. Winding down causes tiller lifting and lowering speed reduction. Winding up causes increase in speed. The most optimum setting of chokes should firstly result in parallel lifting of front rotor which is particularly important at field's edge and causes the front rotor to stop operating earlier.
