4.8 ADJUSTMENT OF BALTIMATIC
Before operation and working with BALTIMATIC ® tedder it is necessary to make proper
adjustments of the tedder. Correct adjustments of spring fingers and adjustments of working
angel of the rotors.The control of correct adjustment of spring fingers should be done at the
same time when damaged spring fingers are replaced or tightened. In order to adjust finger
correctly it is necessary to use 90 degree angel bar (pos. 1 on draw. 4) In order to make
regulation please make loose on fixing bolt (4 on drawing 4) Put angel bar on rotor arm acc.
to drawing 4. Distance from end of spring finger to the range of angle bar should be from
1½" – 4" (40 up to 100mm). Fingers should be adjusted equally on all arms of both rotors.
In order to achieve the proper working angel of rotors from the ground, it is necessary to
adjust toplink on tractor whereby the front spring fingers on the rotors will be situated
1 / 4" – 1 / 3" (4 – 10) mm over the ground.
4.9 – operation of BALTIMATIC
Newly cut grass is after been cut laying on the ground on the field – sometimes in a
windrow. In the drying process the grass is tedded 3-4 times during a day. Tedding should be
done during weather condition where the humidity is low. Frequent tedding enables the grass
to dry quicker. BALTIMATIC ® Hay Tedder should enter the windrow of grass only when
full RPM of the working rotors is achieved (rotation speed of tractor shaft 540 rpm).
During work it is recommended to find level of RPM on engine which will give speed in range of 6-
12 km/h and which will give RPM of engine which refers to nominal rotation of PTO shaft. Speed
should be selected dependly on land condition and the quantity of grass/straw in the windrow. All
material, which makes the machine to clough, should be removed when Hay Tedder is in lower
position (on ground) and engine of tractor is OFF
