ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE OPERATION

Adjustment of rotor inclination

Safety points

• Turn engine off when adjustment, service

and repair work is to be done.

• Do not work under the machine without

safe support.

• In the case of machines with drawbar

(Variant A), the rotor inclination of the

inner rotor may only be adjusted when the

machine is jacked up.

The cog enables the darrier axles to be adjusted within a

swivel range of 10°.

1 setting = 1° alteration to rotor inclination

A lot of fodder = greater angle

Not much fodder = smaller angle

Tine adjustment

Tine

position

can be

altered by

turning the

tine carrier

(80).

• Position

"S1"

Standard position (ex factory)

• Position "S2"

For use under difficult conditions,

e. g. with very dense, awkward

forage. This tine position increases

the strewing action.

• Direction of rotation "R"

Be aware of this when installing

tines.

TD16/96/1

S1S2

TD 16/96/2

Adjustment of working depth (N, H)

Adjust the working depth via the upper linkage so that the

crop is collected over the entire working width.

Adjustment of working depth (N, H)

Adjust the working depth using the dual-action control

device so that the crop is collected over the entire working

width.

Adjustment of the working depth limits

1. Turn the crank (1) above the rotor plate to set the lowest

possible working position. This is particularly important

to compensate tine abrasion.

2. Secure the crank using the locknut (2).

1200_GB-TRANSPORTSTELLUNG_2041

TRANSPORTPOSITION / WORKINGPOSITION

Conversion from working to transport

position

Safety Precaution!

Changing from working position to

transport position is only to be carried out

on even, firm ground.

For safety reasons, turn off drive shaft and

wait for rotor to stop completely.

Make sure that swivel area is free and that

nobody is standing in the danger area.

1. Raising the rotor arms

Manual raising (N,H)

- Hold the tubular handle (9)

with your hand and during

raising swivel the outer

rotor into the transport

position. The locking hooks

engage automatically.

Hydraulic raising (A, N, H)

- Change the working depth

to transport position. Set the

dual-action control device

to "Lift".

- The outer rotors are raised

into the transport position

by actualing the control

valve (ST).

The locking hooks engage automatically.

Attention!

- Check whether the locking hooks (10) are

locked into position correctly.

2. Using the tractor's lifting gear, lower the

implement far enough so that it stands on the

ground on both centre running wheels (H, N).

3. Swivelling the outer rotors

- Hold the tubular handle in one hand and release the

bolts (position C) with the other.

- When swivelling do not release the tubular handle until

the bolts are locked again (position G).

Conversion from transport to

workingposition

Safety Precaution!

Changing from working position to

transport position is only to be carried out

on even, firm ground.

Make sure that swivel area is free and that

nobody is standing in the danger area.

- Turn the rotors outward.

See "Swivelling the Outer Rotors".

- Release mechanical locks (10).

With hydraulic raising:

move the control valve (ST)

briefly to the "raise" position

simultaneously pulling on the

rope (S).

Doing this releases the

mechanical locks (10).

- Lower outer rotors to the

working position.

1200_GB-TRANSPORTSTELLUNG_2041

TRANSPORTPOSITION / WORKINGPOSITION

Driving on public roads:

• Observe the official regulations of your country.

• Travelling on open roads may only be carried out as

described in chapter "Transport position".

Total implement width in the working position: more

than 3 m

Total implement widht in the transport position: see

Techn. Data

• Always swing the outer rotors in before transporting.

Only in this position is the maximum permissable transport

width not exceeded.

No-one can be injured by the rotor tines in

this position.

1200_GB-Einsatz_2041

USE

General guidelines for working with the

machine

All work in the immediate area of the rotors may only

be carried out when the p.t.o. is switched off.

Caution! Do not enter rotor area while driving

motor is running.

- Choose the speed of travel so that all crops are picked

up thoroughly.

- In cases of overloading, shift down one gear.

Three-point slewing headstock "type N"

- Lift three point follower machine before going around

sharp bends and when reversing.

Beware!

Machine swings automatically back to

central position (M) when lifted and is

locked into position.

Take care that the swinging machine

does not endanger anybody and does

not hit solid obstacles. When lowering the

machine the locking devise is automatically

lifted.

Tractor control device (ST)

- Put tractor control device (ST) into "free gear" (floating

position or "lower").

In this way the rotors

adapt to uneven ground.

Operating on slopes

Take note! Machine with three-point slewing

headstock "type N"

If the implement is being raised by the lifting gear whilst

travelling in a curve, the implement swings automatically

into the central position. If working on slopes this

can lead to dangerous

situations, partly due to

the balance weight of

the implement (tipping,

slipping, material

breakage etc.).

The function of the

shock absorbtion struts is to allow the swinging

procedure to be executed slowly and continuously,

not in jerks and jolts.

Shock absorbtion struts

(Optional extra)

Shock absorbtion struts (D)

are recommended for work on

slopes as they increase travel

safety.

Adjustment

By turning the hexagonal nut

(SK) the initial tension of the disk spring and, with that,

the pressure on the friction elements (R) on the rod

can be altered.

Adjustment

- Adjust length of upper link (9) so that rotors are inclined

forward and spring tines lightly touch the ground

(see chapter "Adjustment of rotor inclination" also).

Check upper link (9) adjustment regularly during work

operation.

Setting lower link

- Tractor's lower link (U) must be set so that there is no

sideways play in order to prevent tedder from swinging

back and forth.

1200_GB-Einsatz_2041

USE

The machine runs slantwise behind the tractor

according to the direction of the runner wheels. This

causes the forage to be strewn into the field away

from the edge.

Swinging of a single runner wheel

- Press the adjusting lever (7) down

- Swing the wheels to the right or to the left.

- Lock the adjusting lever into the desired position.

Variant N, H Variant A

Note

In this working position the swivel area (9) is used to its

full extent.

When driving around bends away from the edge of the

field or at the end of the field, the machine must therefore

be lifted.

Attention!

The machine swings back into the central

position (M).
