Setting up work Steering The steering is preset at the factory. If the factory setting needs to be modified, only adjust the rear steering rod and then secure it from being twisted using the lock nut. Checking the track If the machine rolls at an offset angle to the tractor when driving a straight line, the directional stability is set incorrectly.
Accessories Optional The following accessories are available for this machine. All Accessories accessories are original parts, and are available from your dealer. accessories Accessories which are not part of the standard scope of delivery are indicated by a plus symbol [+] in this manual. Hydraulic single lift The optional hydraulic single lift for the standard machine enables single rotor operation.
Accessories Tine saver [+] If the tines are broken, the tine saver can prevent the broken-off part from being lost. Any machines following behind, for example straw Breaking point cutters, are then not damaged by lost tines in the crop. For a good swath deposit, both tine legs must run parallel to one an- Tine leg other after the tine savers have been fitted.
