Adjustment work Rotor pitch Working depth Top link 20 mm (0.8 in) 0 mm Machine pitch Machine pitch For improved pick-up of the crop, use the top link to incline the Top link machine further to the front. Using the top link, incline the machine further to the front until the crop is picked up cleanly.
Adjustment work Rotor pitch The rotors are inclined at an angle to the chassis so that the crop is picked up in the clearing area. The rotor is already inclined trans- versely ex-factory. If the crop is not picked up cleanly, the raking quality can be improved by adjusting the rotor pitch.
Adjustment work Tine lifting The time for lifting the tines can be adapted to the crop (early or late Adjusting screw lifting). The control cam (cam disc) can be infinitely adjusted. Proceed as follows: Switch off the tractor engine, put the parking brake in the park position, remove the ignition key and secure the tractor against rolling away.
Page 37
Adjustment work Basic working depth setting The crank sets the basic working depth setting. This task should only be carried out if the rotors have been completely lowered and the Crank hydraulic system is pressureless. The working depth can be controlled with Hydrolift when in operation on the field.
