- 18 -

1600-GB Operation_2182

OPERATION

General guidelines on working with the

machine

- Any work in the rotor area must only be undertaken

with the p.t.o. switched off and at standstill.

- Do not enter the rotor area as long as the drive motor

is running.

495.173

- Select a driving speed that enables the entire crop

to be gathered cleanly.

- If overloaded, change down a gear on the tractor

- Raise HIT 6.61 / HIT 6.80 with the lifting gear prior to

taking narrow bends and when reversing.

Machines with 3-point attachment!

The machine swivels automatically to

middle position (M) when lifted and is

locked in this position.

Make sure that the machine swivelling

does not endanger anyone and that it does

not hit any solid obstacles.

The lock is released automatically when

the machine is lowered.

- Bring the towed machine (HIT 6.80T) into the headland

position before any tight cornering or reversing. When

rotors are raised, the machine's weight burdens the

transport chassis.

Working on slopes

Be advised!

If the machine is raised with the lifting gear while cornering,

the machine automatically swivels to the middle position.

This can lead to hazardous situations on slopes due to the

machine's inertia (tipping, slipping, material breakage, etc.).

The damping struts (D) ensure that the swivelling procedure

is not jerky, but slow and continuous.

Damping struts (not HIT 6.80T)

The damping struts ensure the machine travels smoothly

during operation.

Setting:

Using countered bolt (1), the disc spring pretension can be

altered and with that the pressure of the friction elements

(R) on the push rod. This alters the damping characteristics.

Note: The performance of both damping

struts must be equally set.

Setting the rotor inclination

The rotor inclination can be set via the hole pattern

underneath the rotor cap. There are five positions for HIT

6.61, HIT 6.69 and HIT 6.80, and 3 positions for HIT 6.80 T.

So to adjust the machine's inclination, pin the hole pattern

(see fig.) for all rotors accordingly.

1. Raise the machine (HIT 6.61, HIT 6.69, HIT 6.80) using

the tractor's lifting gear

Bring the towed machine (HIT 6.80 T) into the headland

position.

2. Pull the linchpin out of the bolt

3. Pull the bolt out of the hole pattern.

4. Insert the bolt in the required hole pattern.

5. Secure the bolt with the linchpin.

6. Lower the rotor into working position.

OPERATION GB

Steep

Flat

Much fodder = large angle, steep

Little fodder = small angle, flat.

Adjusting the working height of

machines with 3-point linkage

Without feeler wheel:

- Set the length of the upper linkage so that the rotor

tilts forward and the front spring tines have a ground

clearance of approx. 1-3 cm to a flat asphalt surface.

(See Chapter "Setting the rotor incline").

With feeler wheel (optional)

1. Setting the required rotor incline

2. Open the slot locking mechanism (1)

3. Establish the desired ground clearance using the

tractor's lifting gear. Under normal conditions, the front

tine ground clearance should be 1-3 cm above a flat

asphalt surface.

4. Pin feeler wheel at ground level

5. Lower the lower linkage completely so that the machine

travels on the feeler wheel.

6. Set the upper linkage length so that when the feeler wheel

is on the ground and the lower linkage is completely

lowered, the upper linkage bolt is in the middle of the

slot.

- Check the setting of the upper linkage (9) frequently

during operation.

Adjusting the working height of the HIT

6.80T

Be advised!

Do not enter rotor area while drive motor

is running.

- The working position means the machine is lowered

and the running wheels (3) are on the ground.

1. By turning the threaded spindle (1), set the distance

(X) between the cardan shaft and the top edge of the

connecting flange, between the drawbar and drive frame.

- The distance (X) should be at least 120 mm in the

working position.

- 20 -

1600-GB Operation_2182

OPERATION GB

2. Adjust the distance of the front tines to the ground.

- When correctly set, the front rotor tines should have a

ground clearance of 1cm - 2cm.

Observe the rotor inclination also (see chapter

"Operation")

Setting the tine inclination

The tine position can be changed by turning the tine

holder (80).

• Position "S1"

Standard setting (factory setting)

• Position "S2"

For difficult conditions e.g. very dense, heavy fodder.

The spreading effect is increased in this tine position.

• Direction of rotation "R"

Take note when fitting the tines:

TD 16/96/2

TD16/96/1

Field boundaries - edge tedders

(optional)

Two possibilities for setting:

1. Mechanical adjustment of the running wheels

(only for machines with 3-point linkage)

There are 3 positions for the running wheels: 20° left /

neutral / 20° right. The running wheels can be adjusted

centrally using lever (2).

1. Release spring-loaded bolt (1)

2. Place lever (2) in required position

3. Allow pin (1) to click into place.

2. Hydraulic adjustment of the running wheels

There are 3 positions for the running wheels: 20° left /

neutral / 20° right. The running wheels can be adjusted

centrally from the tractor using the second double-acting

control unit.

- Set control unit to "raise" to position the running

wheels to the left

- Set control unit to "lower" to position the running

wheels to the right.
