  • Page 3 However, this brief instruction is not a substitute for thorough study of the operating instructions. These operating instructions will help to familiarise you with the LEMKEN GmbH & Co. KG device and the options available for using it.
  • Page 4 Remember that you should only use genuine LEMKEN spare parts. Reproduction parts have a negative influence on the function of the device, have a shorter ser- vice life and present risks and hazards that cannot be estimated by LEMKEN GmbH & Co. KG. They also increase the maintenance costs.

  • Page 112: Rotor Speeds

    Adjustments 11.2.2 Rotor speeds The following rotor speeds are possible, depending on the power take-off speed: Variant 1 Variant 2 If the cardan shaft's overload coupling responds too quickly on non-stony ground, at a power take-off shaft speed of 540 rpm or 750 rpm, then the power take-off shaft speed of 1000 rpm with matching gear must be selected.
  • Page 113 Adjustments For a normal gearbox: Shifting lever (2) in position (3) = rotor speed 330 rpm with 1000-rpm power take- off speed. Shifting lever (2) in position (4) = rotor speed 440rpm with 1000-rpm take-off speed. For a slow gearbox: Shifting lever (2) in position (3) = rotor speed 330 rpm with 1000-rpm power take- off speed.
  • Page 114 Adjustments Recommended working speed depending on rotor speed Rotor speed per minute The rotor speed can be changed using the shifting lever. The 1000 rpm power take-off speed should always be selected. If a power take-off speed of 540 rpm or 750 rpm is used, then the input torque increases by 85 % or by 33 % and it does so at the same power transfer.
  • Page 115: Horizontal Position

    Adjustments 11.3 Horizontal position During work, the implement should be horizontal. The adjustment required to en- sure this is made by adjusting the length of the tractor's upper link. If the tractor's power take-off is at a downwards or upwards incline towards the rear instead of parallel with the ground, the implement must be adjusted using the tractor's upper link so that the gearbox input shaft, when lowered into the working position, is parallel with the power take-off.
