WARNING SIGNS CE symbol The CE symbol, which is affixed by the manufacturer on the outside of the machine, indicates that this machine conforms to the engineering guideline regulations and the other relevant EU guidelines. EU Declaration of Conformity (see Attachment) By signing the EU Declaration of Conformity, the manufac- turer declares that the machine being brought into service complies with all relevant safety and health requirements.
OVERVIEW Overview Designations: 1. Right rotor unit (in direction of travel) 2. Reflector boards 3. Rear support stand 4. Left rotor unit (in direction of travel) 5. Guard hoop 6. Crank handle for adjusting the rotor unit height. 7. Lower linkage attachment 8.
GENERAL SAFETY TIPS Travelling with implement in tow Before starting work Important! The attached implement influences the travelling a. Before commencing work, the operator must be aware characteristics of the towing vehicle. of all operating devices and functions.The learning General safety of these is too late after having already commenced hints for the use •...
ATTACHING Road travel Support stands • Observe the statutory regulations for your country/state. Attaching See Supplement A1, Pt. 8a for safety information. - h.) • Attach machine to tractor's lifting gear. • Secure the hydraulic lower link (U) so that machine cannot swing out sideways.
ATTACHING Hydraulic connection Fit cardan shaft Connect hydraulic line to tractor - Switch off engine and remove ignition key. - Switch off pto before attaching - Before fitting the cardan shaft, clean and grease the machine's connection profiles and the pto. - Set tractor's control unit lever at "Neutral"...
ATTACHING Parking the machine Note: The parking height can be reduced by removing the The machine can be parked in either the working position tine arms. During transport, place the tine arms in the or transport position. tine arm rack provided (see diagram). Ensure stability when parked! - Fold front and rear support stands down and lock - Pull cardan shaft (GW) off and place on support.
WORKING POSITION From transport to working position 5. Swivel both rotor units down to the working position. • Set the single-acting control valve (ST) briefly at 075-09-05 "Raise", pulling the rope simultaneously. Doing this will release the locking hooks (11). Switching from working to transport position is only to be carried out on level, firm ground.
WORKING POSITION From headland to working position Check the working position - The centre gearbox (10) should be at the same height as both rotor gearboxes (17) (aligned with the cardan shafts) 1. Ensure that the swivel range is clear and that no-one is standing in the danger area.
TRANSPORT From working to transport position 5. Close stopcock (pos. A) 6. Lower deflection rail (10) 075-09-07 For safety reasons, switch off p.t.o. and wait for rotors to come to a standstill. Changing from working to transport position is only to be carried out on level, firm ground.
Length reduced 3. Ensure that the swivel range is clear and that no-one is standing in the danger area. 4. Swivel both tine arms up to the transport position by TOP 612 3.40 2.90 2.70 6.08 setting the single-acting control unit at "Raise".
TRANSPORT Reducing the transport height Carry out the following steps to reduce the transport height: In working position: - Remove the two outside tine arms from each rotor. Each tine arm is secured with a spring pin. - Store the tine arms in the rack provided. The tine rack is located on the front end of the machine, behind the headstock.
OPERATION General guidelines on working with the Should the tines pull the fodder out of the swath back onto the strip already raked (unclean work), reduce the pto speed. machine Where there are extremely uneven surfaces (like gullies, crossings, etc), raise the machine in order to prevent Safety advice: damage.
OPERATION 1. Set cross gradient 2. Adjusting rake height 1. Set rake height with the hand crank (1) - individually for To guarantee clean raking, the rotor chassis each rotor unit. Turn crank (1) anti-clockwise to increase should be tilted slightly toward the swath. As the distance of the tines to the ground.
OPERATION Example - left rotor with tandem chassis: Requirement: - Level and solid ground - 1.5 bar pressure in all tyres Be advised! - The machine is attached to the tractor and in the working position Operating the machine without 482-15-15 inner feeler wheel is prohibited!
OPERATION Swath curtain Cardan shaft speed In order to achieve better work quality, it is recommended The maximum cardan shaft speed is: 540 rpm to use the swath curtain (70). The recommended cardan shaft speed is approx. 450 rpm Note: Reduce the pto speed if the crop being harvested is torn back from the swath by the tines and returned to the already...
OPERATION Set the cam track When grass remains lying outside the swath, then the cam track can be adjusted. 1. Park machine on level ground and secure against rolling. (use wheel chocks) 2. Remove the three plastic covers (1) from the openings on the underside of the rotor unit to gain access to the screws (2) on the cam track.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance and Servicing Winter storage - Thoroughly clean the machine beforehand. For safety information see - Put up weather protection. Supplement A "Replacement Parts" - Change or top up gear oil • Turn motor off before any adjustment, maintenance or - Protect exposed parts from rust.
MAINTENANCE - Insert new tine arm. Turn the rotor unit so that the Changing the bearing bush of the tine arms new tine arm can be inserted between the in and • The distance (A) in normal operation must be about 1 out controls (see below).

PTO SHAFT Supplement - B Information on function when using a cam shifting clutch. This overload clutch switches the torque transmitted to zero if overloaded. To revert to normal operation, stop the p.t.o. drive briefly. The clutch reengages at a speed below 200 rpm. Be advised! Re-engaging is also possible by decreasing the p.t.o.
IMPORTANT! ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Combination of tractor and mounted implement The mounting of implements on the front or rear three point linkage shall not result in exceeding the maximum permissible weight, the permissible axle loads and the tyre load carrying capacities ot the tractor. The front axle of the tractor must always to be loaded with at least 20 % of the unladen weight of the tractor.
