Page 28: Rc = Roller Conditioner
rc = roller conditioner Safety advice DANGER Life-threatening danger exists through being drawn in by rotating parts. • Never open or remove the safety devices as long as the engine is running or parts are moving. Overview and Function The roller conditioner is suitable for lucerne and clover types. Two power-driven interlocking rollers crush the fodder. In doing so, the plant’s natural wax coating is damaged, and the drying time will be accelerated. - Page 29 RolleR conditioneR Distance between rollers: (A) Conditioning intensity: (A) The distance between the rollers is equally set, left and The upper roller is moveable and is tensioned left and right, using the adjustment screw (1). Basic setting: (X) right with a spring. The spring tension intensity is always = 45 mm.
-
Page 30: Operation
RolleR conditioneR Operation Driving speed: Adapt the speed to fodder consistency. Travelling too fast reduces conditioning quality and evenness. Working without roller conditioning: If required, the roller conditioner can also be removed and replaced with a tine conditioner or swath former. (Contact your Service Centre for more information.) A machine with a conditioner as a complete unit is fitted with the proper safeguards. -
